Anyone has experience with industrial (pocket) calculators?

[sandra]

Hey,

so I'm going to start a new job next Monday (and I'm happy to - unemployment in GER is huge, the official figure of 4 mio is a joke) and this will include doing phone support for people who work with industiral calculators in chemical laboratories .

Of course i will get training, yet i think it can't do much harm if I preinformed myself.

Has one of you gained first hand experience with these calculators? They're from Hewlett Packard.

I'd have thought that calculators were a thing of the past but apparently this is not entirely the case.

Not familiar with that calculator but often many of the HP calculators will have emulations that can be run on the computer that will allow you to learn more about the calculator without actually having one.

A good starting point would be:
