WP 34s vs TIMPS (Track Inspection)

WP 34s is the most powerful and complete implementation of a classic RPN scientific calculator. Now available on iOS too (see the support site for other emulators and for the real stuff). The function set of the WP 34S is based on the most powerful programmable RPN calculators built so far and we expanded the set, incorporating programmer functions (base 2, 8 & 16), a fraction mode, probability distributions, a stopwatch... We also included numerous additional useful functions for mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, programming, I/O, etc., such as: + Euler’s Beta and Riemann’s Zeta functions, Bernoulli and Fibonacci numbers, Lambert’s W, the error function, and the Chebyshev, Hermite, Laguerre, and Legendre orthogonal polynomials (no more need to carry heavy printed tables), + many statistical distributions and their inverses: Poisson, Binomial, Geometric, Cauchy-Lorentz, Exponential, Logistic, Weibull, Lognormal, and Gaussian, + programmable sums and products, first and second derivatives, solving quadratic equations for real and complex roots, + testing for primality, + integer computing in fifteen bases from binary to hexadecimal, + extended date and time operations and a stopwatch3 based on a real-time clock, + financial operations such as mean rate of return and margin calculations, + 88 conversions, mainly from old Imperial to universal SI units and vice versa, + 50 fundamental physical constants as accurate as used today by national standards institutes such as NIST or PTB, plus a selection of important constants from mathematics, astronomy, and surveying, + Greek and extended Latin letters covering the languages of almost half of the world’s population (upper and lower case in two font sizes), plus mathematical symbols.

App Overview: Track Inspection, Maintenance, Scheduling and Planning System (TIMPS) is designed to help railroad personnel, maintenance supervisors, and inspection teams to plan, schedule and manage tracks and other assets inspections/tests. Perform testing of all track assets as per the frequencies prescribed by the railroad and regulatory authorities like FRA/TC requirements. Key Features: The mobile app is powered with numerous features that help achieve end to end solution. These include: • Basic server setup to access cloud data • Data synchronization between mobile app and cloud-based server • Online and Offline asset test performance • Filling up Job briefings, where required, prior to performing tests • Data validations at various points • Cloud based configurations to enforce railroad rules • User profile updates including password change, signature setting, and profile picture • Existing inspections color-coded views to show available, upcoming, expiring and overdue asset tests along with number of days remaining • Performance of tests along with asset condition and test results in the shape of forms and reports • Multi sessions support for execution of any inspection before it is finally closed • Enable users to report asset defect/deficiency along with images, voice and textual notes. The user can also specify applicable remedial actions • Map view support to see assets location and/or defect reporting point location on map • Support to modify/update asset locations to more accurate positions using map • Dashboard view to show active job briefings, inspections and maintenance along with number of defects/deficiencies reported during inspection • Robust support for maintenance activities planning and execution including material management where applicable • On-site Work order creation and execution • Multiple user check-in/check-out support for maintenance/work orders completion. Also support for work order approval process where required • Various data filters and search functions for enhanced user experience • Interface to access and print different reports directly from cloud including line inspection reports, detailed switch reports, track disturbance reports, CWR maintenance records, job briefings and many other custom reports • Active inspection reports: i) ‘Time & GPS Report’, ii) ‘Time & GPS Map Report’ • Fully compatible with iPad devices of all generations
