Before you read this chapter, you should be reasonably familiar with the
majority of the built-in aplets.
As has been discussed before, the designers of this calculator provided a set
of standard aplets for you to use, changing the capabilities of the calculator
as you change aplet. These standard aplets will cover most, if not all, of your
requirements but to a certain extent you can also modify them to suit your
needs and copy them for your friends. No programming is generally required
and, unless you want to learn about the programming language of the
hp 39g+, there is no reason to worry about it.
As well as making small modifications to the standard aplets, you can
download additional aplets written by people who do enjoy programming.
These aplets come via the Internet, but you may be able to obtain them from
your teacher, from other hp 39g+ users, or from a PC or Mac onto which they
have been copied. Once aplets have been copied from the Internet (onto a
PC or Mac) the software and cable provided with your hp 39g+ can be used
to download the aplets to the hp 39g+.
The information which follows is discussed in the following order...
•
creating a copy of a standard aplet
•
copying from hp 39g+ to hp 39g+ via the infra-red link.
•
downloading from the Internet using the Connectivity Kit.
•
saving notes, aplets and sketches via the Connectivity Kit.
•
capturing screens using the Connectivity Kit.
•
editing Notes with the Aplet Development Kit.
The creation of new aplets on the hp 39g+ via programming is covered in
the chapter which follows this one on page 212.

Calculator Tip
Aplets which were written for the hp 38g or stored from an
hp 38g are not compatible with the hp 39g, hp 40g or
hp 39g+. On the other hand, aplets are freely
interchangeable between any of the hp 39g, hp 40g and
hp 39g+. A free utility is available which will convert hp 38g
aplets into hp 39g+ aplets. Many of the aplets on web
sites are available in both formats but far more are
available for the hp 39g+.
