4. Insert the program card. The HP-41C begins the translation

process as soon as the complete program is read. This generally

requires several seconds. During the translation time, the display

shows

The HP-41C will prompt for two-track programs with the

standard prompt.

The program card can be inserted either track 1 first, or track 2

first. Translation begins after the entire program has been read.

6. Once the program is read and translated, it is ready for execution.

Executing HP-67/HP-97 Card Programs

Mosttranslated programs will execute only if the card reader is plugged

into the HP-41C. An attempt to execute most translated programs while

the HP 82104A Card Reader is not in place will result in the NONEXI/S-

TENT display.

While the HP-41C is in USER mode, the top row of keys work just like

the A through E keys on the HP-67 and HP-97 Calculator when you are

executing translated programs. As long as the calculator is set to the

translated program in program memory, you can execute it the same way

you would on the HP-67 or HP-97. If you are unsure as to how the HP-67

or HP-97 calculators operate, refer to their respective owner's hand-

books. Part Two in each of these books covers programming in detail.

To execute program A, set the HP-41C to USER mode and press the

HP-41C (&] key. To execute program a, press # (4] (lower case a).

The labels A through E and a through e in the HP-67/HP-97 program

are translated into HP-41C local labels A through E and a through e.

(For more information on local labels, refer to section 12 in the HP-41C

Owner' s Handbook and Programming Guide.) So when you press A, the

program beginning with local label A is where execution begins. If you

are unsure of how programming on the HP-41C works, it is a good idea

to review part II of the HP-41C Owner's Handbook and Programming

Guide. Programming and USER mode operation of local labels are

covered in detail in that book.
