APPENDIX D: THE WP 34S EMULATOR ON YOUR COMPUTER

For the emulator, run \trunk\windows\bin\wp34sgui.exe – it features the identical
function set as your WP 34S calculator. While tactile feedback, boot speed, pocketability
and battery life suffer, some things become easier, e.g. printing (see below). What else is
different?
Typically the emula-
tor is operated by the
computer mouse.
You click on
respective areas of
the keyboard image
instead of pressing
keys. Right clicking
on a key area is a
shortcut to its green
h-shifted label. And
there is one important
extra: a right click on
the WP logo top right
opens a menu as
seen here.
It contains links to the
project website and
the manual (under
<Help>) as well as to
three different skins
for the emulator.
The 'medium' skin is shown several times in this manual; the other two are smaller and
are displayed overleaf. All three skins are printed to scale here.
Furthermore, this menu allows you to import or export numbers, export
the complete 'LCD' screen as a picture to the clipboard for use in other computer
applications.
If your computer has a numeric keypad, the digit and arithmetic operation keys there
are shortcuts to the corresponding 'keys' of the emulator. The up and down cursor keys
