HP 50g Self Test [ON] [F4] Individual tests can be performed by simultaneously pressing the ON key and the F4 key (the fourth key on the top row). Software build information is briefly displayed, then a test menu is displayed. 1.LCD 2.KEY 3.FLASH 4.SRAM 5.USB 6.RS232 7.BUZZER (Beep-Beep-Beep) 8.IRDA (Send & Receive) 9.CARD (SD Card) A.AUTOTEST (Merry-Go-Round, till battery is flat). Simultaneously press ON and F3 (the third key on the top row) to exit test mode.

HP 30b Bond Function The HP 30b includes two bond duration calculations: the modified duration and Macaulay duration. These measure a bond’s price sensitivity to fluctuations in interest rate movements by giving what is essentially a time value of money weighted average time to maturity. Macaulay duration is calculated by adding the results of multiplying the present value of each cash flow by the time it is received and dividing by the total price of the security.

HP 30b Built-in MIRR and FMRR Functions. The HP 30b comes with MIRR (Modified Internal Rate of Return) and Financial Management Rate of Return (FMRR). Both of these function take care of the problem found in basic IRR that occurs when the signs of cash flows switch from negative to positive to negative. MIRR and FMRR provide one rate of return that more accurately reflects the return an investor receives. They differ on how they manipulate any negative cash flows after the initial cash outlay.

The programming functions on the HP 30b are not provided (printed) on the keyboard. Programming commands are mapped to the shift-hold positions of the top 4 rows of keys. Programming template: Row 1 (Top): Six conditional test are present comparing two values. The test push value 1 if true or value 0 if false to the stack. Row 2: Conditional transfers are goto if true (displayed as GT in a program but GOTOT on the keyboard overlay) and goto if false (displayed as GF in a program, but GOTOF on the keyboard overlay), but note that these conditionals consume the argument on the stack.

We will attempt to explain what a program is, give the advantages of programming, and show how to create and run a sample program. On the HP 12c, a program is a sequence of keystrokes that is remembered by the calculator. When a sequence of keystrokes is to be repeated several times, a program could save a great deal of time. Instead of pressing all the keys each time, only one key needs to be pressed to start the program - the calculator does the rest.

hp 20b - Performing Complete Self Test Press ON PMT + all 3 button at the same time. Display ‘Tst Screen’ Press INPUT. Perform the screen test by pressing any key 12 times. It should return to Display ‘Tst Screen’. Press the DOWN arrow then INPUT. Display ‘Tst Keyboard’ Press INPUT. Perform the keyboard test. Press ON PMT + at the same time (3 button simultaneously). Press [ON/CE] key to exit test.

On the HP 30b, the [Shift] [PRGM] puts the calculator in a programming or program execution mode.

HP 30b Implementation of Black-Scholes Equation The Black-Scholes Equation was conceived by Fischer Black and Myron Scholes. It is commonly used today to determine the so-called fair value of options contracts.
