    Awesome review - I don’t think I appreciated my calculator as much as I should have when I studied electrical engineering in the early 90s! Super review. The solar power was cool back then.

    tengo mi fx 61f desde el 1992 y funciona perfecto aún. gracias por el video!

    Nice work as usual

    One can program the fx-5800P or some other model to do automatic impedance calculations. Basically create default programs for capacitive reactance, inductive reactance, parallel and series combinations. Then use them to do complex combination calculations. On 5800P I can do the same calculations almost as fast as in the 61F.

      Yes in the video I show doing that on the HP 42S.

    Thank you for this thorough review! I'd love to get my hands on one of these but so far I just really like my fx-4500p(a)'s due to (among others) the "permanent" engineering mode (with k m n p etc). And missing functionality such as the parallell resistor key or specific formulas I just write my own programs for :) I pretty much use the machine daily on my electronics engineering job (but I don't miss the complex functions), can't believe I've found these machines sooner, thank you (and ledudu) for introducing them to me!

    I had trouble leaving the Base-N mode can you please help me with that?

      I don't have my Caxio fx-61F with me right now, but from memory if you type in a number with a decimal point it switches out of Base-N mode. Let me know if this works.

    The fx-61f is a treasured calculator. Have you heard about the ElectriCalc Pro from Calculated Industries? I wonder how they compare.

      Hi Eddie, no I haven’t. I presume it is device aimed at electricians - it would be interesting to compare the functionality. Someone else also mentioned the Sharp el- 5803, a much older calculator from the 70s that apparently had some electronics related functions.

      The ElectricPro is for electricians rather than electronics engineers. It calculates voltage drops for various wires sizes, power factor, ohms law etc.. All revelative basic calculations compared to the impedance calculations that the FX-61F can do.

    Nice! When you think about it it is odd that there were not more engineering specialized calculators, would have thought replacing all those slide rules would have been one of the larger markets! Though I much preferred your HP based implementation, particularly if you extended it with shortcuts for the SI prefixes. Maybe this is the answer: engineers preferred to 'roll their own' using a programmable scientific machine?

    There no 1 Engineer calculator that cover all engineer fields?

    • @CalculatorCulture
      @CalculatorCulture  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The HP 48SX/GX had a very extensive range of expansions cards that covered a lot of engineering fields. There is a list in this thread www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-6571.html
