HP 82180A Extended Functions/Memory Module

HP 82180A While the HP 82180A Extended Functions/Memory Module is plugged into the calculator, the following functions are available for your use. This module also provides you with 127 registers of extended memory and enables you to utilize one or two HP82l81A Extended Memory Modules to increase the size of extended memory.

Extended Functions

ALENG Returns the length of the string in the ALPHA register to the X-register.
ANUM Searches the ALPHA register for an ALPHA-formatted number and returns the numerical value to the X-register. (The X-register is unaffected if there is no number in the ALPHA register.)
AROT Rotates the contents of the ALPHA register by the number of characters indicated by the number in the X-register. Rotates left for positive numbers, right for negative.
ATOX Moves leftmost character out of the ALPHA register and places its character code in the X-register. (Refer to back page, Displayable Characters and Their Corresponding Codes.)
CLKEYS Clears all key assignments.
GETKEY Halts program execution until either a key is pressed or approximately 10 seconds elapse. Puts keycode in X-register if key is pressed; puts zero in X-register if no key is pressed within the time period.
PASN Assigns function or program name to specified key. Requires function or program name in the ALPHA register, keycode in the X-register.
PCLPS Clears program named in the ALPHA register (or current program if the ALPHA register is empty) and all programs that follow.
POSA Scans the ALPHA register for the character or characters in the X- register. If the X-register contains a numeric character code, a single character is searched for. If the X-register contains ALPHA data, that string is searched for. Returns position of first character to the X-register, or -1 if no match is found. (Refer to back page, Displayable Characters and Their Corresponding Codes.)
PSIZE Allocates registers to data storage. Requires number of data registers in the X-register.
RCLFLAG Recalls data representing the status of flags 00 through 43 to the X-register.
REGMOVE Copies nnn main memory registers in block starting at register sss to block starting at register ddd. Requires index in form sss.dddnnn in X-register.
REGSWAP Swaps nnn main memory registers beginning at register sss with nnn registers beginning at register ddd. Requires index in form sss.dddnnn in X-register.
STOFLAG Uses data in X-register from RCLFLAG to restore flags 00 through 43, or the flag data in Y-register to restore a block of flags specified by a number in the form bb.ee in the X-register.
X<>F Exchanges the contents of the X-register with the status of flags 0-7.
XTOA Converts the character code in the X-register to the corresponding character and appends the character to the ALPHA register. (Refer to back page, Displayable Characters and Their Corresponding Codes.)

Extended Memory

APPCHR Appends contents of the ALPHA register at the end of the current record in the working ASCII file.
APPREC Appends contents of the ALPHA register to the working ASCII file as a new record.
ARCLREC Appends a record or portion of a record from the working file to the contents of the ALPHA register. Stops when the ALPHA register is full or when the end of the record is reached.
CRFL Clears a data file or ASCII file. Requires file name in the ALPHA register.
CRFLAS Creates an ASCII file. Requires file name in the ALPHA register and file length (registers) in the X-register.
CRFLD Creates a data file. Requires file name in the ALPHA register and file length in the X-register.
DELCHR Deletes the number of characters indicated by the X-register from the current record, starting from the character pointer.
DELREC Deletes the current record in the working ASCII file.
EMDIR Displays a list of the files in extended memory and returns the number of registers that remain unused.
FLSIZE Returns the number of registers in a file. Requires file name in the ALPHA register.
GETAS Copies an ASCII file from an HP-IL mass storage device to extended memory. Requires the source file name and (if different) the destination file name, in the ALPHA register.
GETP Replaces the last program in main memory with the contents of the program file named in the ALPHA register.
GETR Copies an entire data file into main memory, beginning with register 00. Requires file name in the ALPHA register.
GETREC Clears the ALPHA register and copies up to 24 characters from the current record in the working ASCII file to the ALPHA register.
GETRX Copies registers from the working data file to a block of main memory specified by a number in the form bbb.eeein the X-register.
GETSUB Copies the program file named in the ALPHA register to the end of program storage in main memory.
GETX Copies the current register in the working data file to the X-register.
INSCHR Inserts the contents of the ALPHA register into the current record ahead of the current character position.
INSREC Inserts the contents of the ALPHA register ahead of the current record as a new record.
POSFL Scans the working ASCII file for a match with the string in the ALPHA register. Returns pointer index (rrr.eee) to the X-register if a match is found, -1 if no match is found.
PURFL Purges the file named in the ALPHA register.
RCLPT Recalls the pointer index from the working file to the X-register. The pointer index is in the form rrr (register number) for data files, rrr.ccc (record number and character position) for ASCII files, or bbbb (number of bytes) for length of program file.
RCLPTA Recalls the pointer index or length of program from the file named in the ALPHA register to the X-register.
SAVEAS Copies an ASCII file from extended memory to an HP-IL mass storage device. Requires the source file name and (if different) the destination file name in the ALPHA register.
SAVEP Copies the program named in the ALPHA register to extended memory.
SAVER Copies all the data registers in main memory to the data file named in the ALPHA register.
SAVERX Copies the block of main memory data registers specified by the number in the X-register (bbb.eee) to the working data file, starting at the current pointer position.
SAVEX Copies the contents of the X-register to the working file at the current pointer position.
SEEKPT Positions the pointer or pointers in the working file using an index number in the X-register. Requires index in the form rrr (register number) for data files or rrr.ccc (record number and character position) for ASCII files.
SEEKPTA Positions the pointer or pointers in the file named In the ALPHA register using an index number in the X-register. Requires index in the form rrr (register number) for data files or rrr.ccc (record number and character position) for ASCII files.
