HP-41CV

PROMPT

Display the ALPHA register and wait until the user enters a number and 
presses R/S

PSE

Pause the program for a second and display the X register. X can be modified 
during the pause and the program will continue if no key is pressed for one 
second

R

Rotate stack up

R-D

Convert radiants (2

π

) to degrees (360)

R-P

Convert rectangular coordinates (X,Y) to polar coordinates (X=angle, 
Y=length) using current trigonometry mode

RAD

Set trigonometry mode radiants (2

π

)

RCL

Get the value of a register to X. Addressing modes:
„RCL nn“ 

gets value of register nn (00 – 99)

„RCL SHIFT nn“  gets the value of the register which is addressed by register 

nn (indirect addressing)

„RCL . r“ 

gets a stack register where r is one of the keys labelled X, 
Y, Z, T or L (without pressing ALPHA)

„RCL SHIFT . r“  gets the value of the register which is addressed by register 

r=X, Y, Z, T or L (indirect addressing)

„RCL 

Σ

+“ 

is the same as „RCL 01“

„RCL 1/x“ 

is the same „RCL 02“ etc. up to

„RCL TAN“ 

is the same as „RCL 10“. This also works in USER mode

Registers 00 – 99 can be addressed directly. Higher registers must be 
accessed thru indirect addressing.
If the recalled register contains an ALPHA string it will be displayed but it will 
not overwrite the contents of the ALPHA register.
If a register contains an ALPHA string it cannot be used for indirect 
addressing

RDN

Rotate stack down (same as R

)

RND

Round the X register according to the number of valid digits as specified in 
the current ENG, SCI or FIX command

RTN

PRGM mode: Return to calling program or stop if at the top level
RUN mode: Go to line number 0 of the current program (=“GTO 000“)

SDEV

Calculate standard deviation of the data in the statistics registers. See 

Σ

REG

SCI

Select scientific display format rounded to n+1 valid digits. This does not 
affect the internal representation of the number.
See RCL for indirect addressing modes

SF

Set flag nn. See CF

SIN

Sine using current trigonometry mode

SIGN

Replace X with the sign of X, 1 or -1

SIZE

Specify number of data registers. Ie. „SIZE 050“ reserves space for 50 data 
registers (00 – 49) for STO/RCL operations. The remaining memory can be 
used for programs where one register can approximately hold 6 program 
steps.
Storage registers >99 can only be accessed using indirect addressing, see 
RCL command.
It is not possible to delete existing programs with the SIZE command. You 
may have to erase programs first before memory space can be assigned to 
data registers

SQRT

Square root

SST

PRGM mode: Go to next program step
RUN mode: Execute next program step. The command is displayed when the
