Extending aplets

Aplets are the application environments where you explore different classes of mathematical operations.

You can extend the capability of the hp 39g+ in the following ways:

Create new aplets, based on existing aplets, with specific configurations such as angle measure, graphical or tabular settings, and annotations.

Transmit aplets between hp 39g+ calculators via an infra red link.

Download e-lessons (teaching aplets) from Hewlett-Packard’s Calculator web site.

Program new aplets. See chapter 16, Programming, for further details.

Creating new aplets based on existing aplets

 

You can create a new aplet based on an existing aplet.

 

To create a new aplet, save an existing aplet under a new

 

name, then modify the aplet to add the configurations

 

and the functionality that you want.

 

Information that defines an aplet is saved automatically

 

as it is entered into the calculator.

 

To keep as much memory available for storage as

 

possible, delete any aplets you no longer need.

Example

This example demonstrates how to create a new aplet by

 

saving a copy of the built-in Solve aplet. The new aplet is

 

saved under the name “TRIANGLES” contains the

 

formulas commonly used in calculations involving

 

right-angled triangles.
