A dream calculator of the mid-70's, priced at $2,500 in today's dollars (2025), right on your iPhone! RPN-67 SD is the iPhone version of RPN-67 Pro, the first complete simulation of Hewlett-Packard's legendary HP-67 programmable calculator for the iPad. Produced from 1976 to 1982, the HP-67 was a huge success among scientists, engineers and other professionals. Thousands of programs were written for it. Now you can run them right on your iPhone, with more ease and faster than ever before. To get you started quickly, run the built-in program cards, or choose from the large number of programs available as free downloads from our website. What users said: “This version permits you to use your virtual HP-67 just as you could the original – hand-held and highly portable. Congratulations to the developer for providing such an excellent and aesthetically pleasing software product." "This was my first scientific calculator in real life. It is great to have the simulator on my iPhone. The special features added make it into a HP-41 or 42S! It comes packaged with some great samples. Am having great fun with it." Features: • Virtual program and data cards • Virtual paper tape printer supports all HP-97 printer modes • Powerful database-driven card manager • Create, label, and organize a virtually unlimited number of cards • Use iTunes to effortlessly save entire card collections on your Mac/PC • Sharing: e-mail, AirDrop, Dropbox, copy, paste, print • Editable listing shows labels, targets of branches, and errors • E-mail listings and let the recipient paste the text right into RPN-67 • Print listings on any AirPrint-compatible printer • Program listing on paper tape shows subroutine nesting • Edit paper tape • E-mail paper tape, or print it via AirPrint • Cut/copy/paste displayed value or program steps • Paste existing HP-67 listings into RPN-67 SD and run them • "Live" display of stack, memory registers, flags • Show and edit program instructions • Fast: 1.5 seconds vs. 6 minutes (program HM-05, determinant of 5x5 matrix) • Low-battery indicator (iPhone charge 10% or less) • Optional high-contrast mode for working in bright ambient light • Compatible with RPN-67 Pro and RPN-97 Pro While RPN-67 SD works like a real HP-67, changing a simple setting will turn the app into a super-charged HP-67: • Up to 999 program steps, 8 subroutine levels, 6 additional flags (F4...F9) • 100 additional registers • 100 additional labels • 100 built-in constants and conversions • More than 150 additional powerful operations and functions Plus: • 15 commands to print and manipulate any range of extended registers • Unrestricted register arithmetic • Exchange x with any register • Complex numbers, hyperbolic functions • Non-volatile memory - stack, registers, program, flags, paper tape • Status indicators for prefix keys (f, g, h, STO, RCL, etc.) • Display showing thousands separators (optional) • Text output on simulated paper tape in 10 colors, even simple plotting • Stack-of-stack: push/pop the entire stack on internal stack (4 levels) • Single-step into subroutines (optional) • Powerful debugging aids, including 10 breakpoints with counters • Keycodes translated to command names while entering or single-stepping a program • Change the duration of the PAUSE command • Compress constants in programs into a single step (reversible) RPN-67 SD comes with more than 130 programs pre-installed, including HP Standard Pac, HP Business Decisions Pac, HP Math Pac I, HP Stat Pac I, and HP Surveying Pac I. The simulator has been verified to correctly run the examples given in HP Civil Engineering Pac I, HP Clinical Lab Pac, HP E.E. Pac I, HP Games Pac I, HP M.E. Pac I, HP Navigation Pac I, as well as large number of programs published in Users' Library Solutions. For more information and free program downloads visit the RPN-67 website: cuveesoft.ch/rpn67

Bit Converter allows you to easily convert between bits, bytes, kilobits, kilobytes, megabits, megabytes, gigabits, gigabytes, terabits, terabytes, petabits, petabytes, exabits, exabytes, zettabits, zettabytes, yottabits, yottabytes. Enter the value and unit and the calculator will perform the conversion to all units. Notes: The value of K (Kilo) during calculations can take two values 1024 or 1000, depends on which type of calculation you want to perform. Consider using K = 1024 when you are considering storage capacity, whether in hard disk, DVDs, flash drives or other devices and storage media. K = 1000 should be used when you are thinking of throughput, e.g. the speed at which information is transferred. The difference between a kilobyte (KB) and a kilobit (Kb). Bytes are used to describe storage, whereas bits are used to describe data transmission speeds. Example: If a computer has 1 KB of disk space is saying that it has 1024 B of space, now the throughput of the network card is 1 KB/s then it mean that it transmits data to 1000 B/s. Bits Bit (b) is a unit of measurement used in the binary system to store or transfer data, such as the speed of an internet connection or the quality scale of an audio or a video recording. A 0 or a 1 is typically used to denote a bit. A byte is 8 bits long. In addition to yes/no, true/false, plus/minus, and other values, a bit can also be represented by others. A bit is one of the essential units used in digital communication, computer technology, information technology, and for storing, processing, and transmitting many forms of data. Byte The byte, which is widely used in information technology, digital technology, and other related sectors, is the fundamental unit of digital information transfer and storage. It is one of the most fundamental data measuring units in programming and one of the smallest units of memory in computer technology. As 1 byte can send 256 commands, the early computers were built with processors that supported this format. 8 bits make up a byte, which functions as a single unit for the storing, processing, or transfer of digital data. Bit Converter add support for Dark Mode. Bit Converter is a tiny app that conserves storage space and also work offline.
