Status test for Casio calculators FX-880p and FX-850p.

In our lovely calculators are some programs from the library not documented in the manual and not in the paper enclosure in the list of programs that comes with the calculator.

Some of these hidden programs, are:

  • 0400 ->Testing program of the calculator.
  • 0800 ->Program for the printer.
  • 0900 -> Converter of PB100 to FX-850P.

To run the program you have to push the number of the program and then the key “LIB”.

 

Of these three, the one that seems most interesting to me is the 0400, the testing program.

It informs you of the memory installed on the Casio, and also it tells you how much memory you have installed in the expansion module.

Test casio 1

 Test the RAM and the ROM and it tells you whether they are fine. Test casio 2 It shows all the pixels of the calculator lit in three different screens, for you to make you see easily whether there was a dead pixel.Test casio 3Test casio 4Test casio 5 Finally, it takes a “Printer CHECK” that I am not actually sure whether it means a check out of the port, or to plug a printer to check it out. Test casio 6

The exact code of the program is in the popular annex at the manual of Alchemist

    Hello, I have a big problem occur with my FX-880P.
    When I want to run a program such as P0, I got the message “OM error P0-1”.
    Then I try to check the Library Number 5050 which is quardratic equation, it appears “OM error”.
    Could you please tell me how to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance.

      Sorry for late answer, I was traveling

      OM error

      MEANING

      a) lnsufficient memory ar system overflow.

      b) Erroneous CLEAR statement specífication.

      CORRECTION

      a) Shorten program and check array dimensioning.

      b) Check CLEAR statement value.

      c) Use RAM expansíon pack.
