Subject: ee apps qwik docs (save this) Hi everyone, here is the Electrical Engineering Apps I promised. This file has NOT been coded by UCODE, please do not attempt to run uudecode to retrieve this file. Instead, cut off the headers of this message up to and including the lines that say CUT here which I have placed at the TOP and Bottom of the file. Choose a file name that is typical of an hp variable name ie. EEAPPS. The first line of the ASCII text file should read %%HP: T(1)A(D)F(.); and the last line should read END. To transfer these programs from your PC to your HP you must have access to a PC link program such as KSRV48.EXE as well as a serial port cable which connects from the HP 48 GX to a PC. These programs will only be found useful for EE ET and EET majors for your circuit analysis 1&2 and solid state courses. Some apps will also be found useful for more advanced courses and also for working engineering professionals. If your are not an EE major, you probably wont have much use for any of the apps in this collection but if you are interested in programming you can see some programming techniques I have used. The author of these programs (Fred Anderson) does NOT claim to be an GENIUS or does he guarantee the accuracy of these APPS. The programs widely very in complexity, some APPS containing two lines of code while some are well over 1k long. Many of these APPS have been widely used by a number of other students who also proclaimed these APPS to be quite useful. All of the source code may be viewed and modified on an HP as seen fit. The author (me) Fred Anderson encourages you to freely distribute these programs to anyone who may find them useful. Heres some quick docs that might help you get started with the software I wrote. First Directory contains a few small progams that will be used in later programs so they are on the first level. EET -- a subdir with more EE programs CAP -- enter the Xc (reactance) on the stack and CAP will put your reactance into appropriate phasor notation. This is useful when your adding a series of caps and resistors together CST -- a CUSTOM menu that can be accessed by your CST button containing all of the MOST essential programs. IND -- same as CAP but does the appropriate phase notation for an inductor also very useful for addition. KILO -- simple multiplier of 1E3 MICRO -- MULTIPLIES BY 1E-6 MILI -- MULTIPLIES BY 1E-3 SRT -- nice program for sorting all your directors and programs in your current directory. Very useful STAK -- you can display up to 10 levels of the stack on the graphics screen. Also very useful under the EET directory you will see the programs IDST -- current divider rule, first enter in however many resistor branches you have and then enter the total number of current that you will be dividing. This will return the amount of current going through each branch. No limit on number of branches. VDST -- voltage divider rule. Resistors in a series will each have a voltage drop according to the size of the resistor. Enter in each resistor value then enter the supply voltage and VDST will calculate the voltage drop accross each resistor. VZVZ OHMS LAW CALULATION Y>DELTA DELTA>Y ENTER IN THREE RESISTOR VALUES AND THIS WILL PERFORM THE LENGTHY EQUATION OF CONVERTING BETWEEN THE TWO. ZADDP ENTER IN A SERIES OF RESISTORS AND REACTANCE VALUES THAT WITH TO ADD IN PARALLEL, REPEATE THE PROGRAM UNTIL YOU HAVE JUST ONE VALUE 1K OHMS RES 10K OHMS 740 OHMS 540 OHMS ZADDP ZADDP ZADDP ZADDP RETURNS A VALUE OF 232.4 (OHMS). This also works for addition of capacitor in series.(make sure you have the caps in their proper phasor notation.) ZADDS ADDS STUFF IN SERIES. UNDER THE ac directory there are many useful programs including : BRIDGE -- THIS NIFTY PROGRAM CALCULATES A BALANCED BRIDGE PROBLEM. PUSH THE BUTTON AND ENTER IN EACH Z1 Z2 & Z3 (THEY ALL MUST BE IN COMPLEX FORM (X,Y) FOR THE PROGRAM TO WORK. THIS PROGRAM WILL CALCULATE WHAT VALUE OF Z4 YOU NEED TO MAKE Z1 AND Z3 IN SERIES BALANCED WITH Z2 AND Z4. IMPSP -- INPEDANCE CONVERSION FROM SERIAL TO PARALLEL (ENTER VALUES IN COMPLEX FORM) (X,y) MESH --- MESH ANALYSIS (WORKS WITH ONLY TWO LOOPS) NODAL --- NODAL ANALYSIS PWEQ -- POWER EQUATIONS, ENTER IN A VOLTAGE AND AN IMPEDANCE AND IT WILL RETURN SOME USEFUL INFO. VP>R VR>P CONVERSION BETWEEN VP (VOLTAGE PEAK) AND VOLTAGE ROOT MEAN SQUARE RMS XC -- CAPACITOR REACTANCE, ENTER IN FREQUENCY ON STACK THEN ENTER THE CAP VALUE AND IT WILL RETURN THE REACTANCE VALUE XL -- SAME AS ABOVE BUT WORKS FOR INDUCTORS XC -1 -- ANTI-REACTANCE CONVERSION, ENTER FREQUENCY AND REACTANCE VALUE ON STACK AND WILL RETURN FACE VALUE OF THE CAP. XL- 1 -- SAME AS ABOVE BUT WORKS FOR INDUCTORS. w>F F>w -- conversion between Rad/Sec and frequency microF -- great little program. hit the button, enter in the those confusing three digit code on ceramic disk capacitors and this will return the actual value of the Cap in microFarads ztzl -- small program returns the complex conjugate of a complex number I will discuss the AC filters, power correction, resonance, and thevinin program directories in a later post. have fun
