NOTE: Most of the descriptions on this site also apply to RPN-97 Pro, the desktop version
of HP-67 marketed as HP-97, as well as to RPN-67 SD for the iPhone.


RPN-67 is a photorealistic simulation of Hewlett-Packard's second generation mag card programmable scientific hand-held calculator from 1976. Made exclusively for iPad.

It comes in three versions: RPN-67 Free, RPN-67 Pro, and RPN-67 SD.

While the Free version is a capable scientific calculator sporting live register view and printing features, it lacks the programming features of the real HP-67.

The Pro version adds full programmability, the ability to run virtually all existing HP-67 programs, a powerful program database, and a slew of import/export options.

The SD version offers almost all of the power of RPN-67 Pro on the iPhone or iPod (see below).

RPN-67 Pro is the HP-67 you wished you had back in the 70's: more program steps, more registers, more functions, more subroutine levels, much higher speed, comfortable program editing, printing without wasting paper tape, live view of all registers and flags, a program library at your fingertips.

RPN-67 has been verified to run correctly all examples of the following HP Program Pacs:
HP Standard Pac, HP Business Decisions Pac, HP Clinical Lab Pac, HP E.E. Pac I, HP Games Pac I, HP Math Pac I, HP M.E. Pac I, HP Navigation Pac I, HP Stat Pac I, HP Surveying Pac I.


Features

• 999 program steps (or 224 or 448)


• 100 additional registers, directly or via the I register. Full register arithmetic supported.


• 100 additional labels


• More than 200 additional functions and operations, all fully programmable


• 100 constants and conversion values


• 6 additional flags (F4..F9)


• 3 additional flag commands


• Run programs at much higher speed than the HP-67. Or at original speed, if needed.


• Use virtual program and data cards.


• Powerful card database manager lets you organize your cards in predefined categories.


• Title and label your own cards right in the app, even cut off the card corners to write-protect them.


• Save entire card collections on your Mac or PC (using iTunes).


• Share program or data cards: e-mail, copy/paste, AirDrop, Dropbox, and more.


• E-mail program listings or print them on any AirPrint-compatible printer.


• Print on a virtual paper tape printer, even in colors. E-mail the paper tape, or send output to a real printer.


• When the paper tape printer is turned on, f –x– and g STK will print immediately, without showing the values slowly on the display.


• Select any of 10 colors as default ribbon color.


• Perform simple curve plotting or print any text on the paper tape.


• Optionally show negative results in red.


• Follow subroutine nesting on the paper tape.


• See target step number of branches right in the program listing.


• Print label usage, status of flags, number of free program steps and more.


• Use geographic information from the device in your programs.


• Low-battery warning right in the calculator's display.


• Use up to 10 breakpoints with counters to debug your program.


• Watch the stack, all program registers, the program step counter and the flags in real-time.


• Paste text representations of HP-67 or HP-97 programs right into the calculator and run them.


• Copy/paste values and program steps directly in the display.


• Correct input typing errors by swiping left across the display.


• Select any of 30 background images. Or import your own.


• Use RPN-67 Pro like the original HP-67 by disabling all advanced features.


More features the HP-67 never offered:


• Complex number support with 4-level stack, applicable to most functions.


• Hyperbolic functions.


• Change duration of the "PAUSE" command.


• Non-volatile memory.


• High-precision calculations, not limited to display capacity.


• Country-specific thousand separators in display.


• Visual status indicators of prefix keys.


• Program steps in plain-text, right in the display area.


• Compress constants in programs into a single step to save memory (optional, reversible).


• Factorial N! accepts non-integers and negative values.


• Cancel SST and BST by simply dragging your finger off the key.


• Register arithmetic works with RCL command.


• HP-41-style stack arithmetic, including RCL and Exchange.


• Exchange x with any register, directly or indirectly.


• RCL ∑+ extended to STO ∑+ and full register arithmetic.


• Use flags 4 through 9 in the same way as flags 0 and 1.

With RPN-67 Pro set to enhanced mode in the settings, the simulator offers a number powerful extensions to the regular HP-67.

See section Extensions for details.

RPN-67 SD is the iPhone/iPod version of RPN-67 Pro.

While the user interface is – for obvious reasons – quite different from the iPad version,
the features are virtually the same.

Tap the "?" available on various screens for hints about using the app.

RPN-67 SD comes with the following HP Program Pacs already built-in:
HP Standard Pac, HP Math Pac I, HP Stat Pac I.



Extras

• Stack display. Simply tap the card slot to turn the stack display on or off.


• High-contrast mode. Triple-tap the display to turn high-contrast mode on or off.
  High-contrast mode applies to the main display, stack display and register display.
  Use the settings to define your preferred mode.


• Full-screen program editing. Tap display in W/PRGM mode.


• Easy access to program instructions and description.
  Swipe display right to see program instructions.
  Swipe right again to see the program description.
  Both views are editable. To store changes permanently, copy the text, then
  paste it into the appropriate field in the card manager.

Restrictions

• No Turbo mode. Unneeded since registers do not get updated until they're visible.


• No "Convert from HP-97" switch, so HP-97 listings can't be converted automatically.
  Of course, you can still import HP-97 program cards.


• No card side selection for data cards


• No background images


• No import of Limpid Fox Consulting programs
