• A coffee cup indicates that no alarms are pending
• An alarm clock means you have at least one pending alarm
• A bell means you have a past-due alarm
Next, the alarm text of your next pending (or past-due) alarm is shown.
On the far right, the number of pending alarms is shown in parentheses.
The 2nd line displays your memory status.
On the far left, free (available for use) main Program Memory and free Extended Memory are
shown as xxx/yyy.
On the far right on line 2 is the current 41 SIZE status, indicating how many data storage registers
have been allocated.
The 3rd line displays information about your current Program and Printer status.
Starting from the left, the program’s name (topmost global Alpha label), current line number and
max number of lines is displayed.
On the far right of line-3, the current printer status is displayed following the PRN: label as follows:
MAN Manual Print Mode
TRA Trace Print Mode
NRM Normal Print Mode
OFF The Printer has been disabled (via CF 21 – note, this is reset to ON following each turn-
on)
N/A The Printer Module has not been plugged-in (see section 4.2)
See the HP-82160A HP-IL Module manual section ‘Flags and the Printer’ on pp. 9-10 for use and
meaning of the various Printer modes and controls described above, activated using Flags 15, 16
and 21. All modes described there are supported except for the ‘TRACE with stack’ option. Other
print modes (e.g. Double-wide and Lower-case) are controlled using the other flags described in this
section.
If you have the Thermal Printer module installed, and no thermal printer is being
used, program execution will not halt when encountering a VIEW or AVIEW
instruction. See the HP-82160A HP-IL Module manual section ‘Printing During
Program Execution’ on pp. 28-29 for details about how to control your desired
behavior. You may of course also simply Unplug the Thermal Printer module to
have default (expected) behavior when not using a printer.
