What I find really amazing about this calculator series is the design, which is actually quite timeless and very elegant. If one calculator series deserves a design award it’s this series. Only HEWLETT PACKARD can create heavy duty casing with such elegance.
The calculators in this series are: The HP 11C is a programmable scientific calculator. Programmable variant of the HP 10C. It has all the required scientific functions such as trigonometric functions (including the parabolic variants). Also present are statistical functions (including a random number function).
As a programmable calculator, the HP 11C is adequately equipped. Its advanced functions include labels, including 5 labels (A to E) which can be executed directly from the keyboard (one-stroke if the calculator is put in "User" mode). Other important advanced functions are loops, comparisons and indirect addressing. The calculator’s program memory however is quite small, a maximum of about 200 program steps (at the expense of data all but one of the data registers). For practical use, the calculator has about 63 to about 100 program steps available.
Programs and data are stored in constant memory and are not lost when the calculator is switched off.
