    What if you choose HP products to enhance your productivity?

    What if you choose HP products to enhance your productivity?

    For example: PASCAL/1000, a modern computer language that makes
    programs simple to write, easy to debug, and inexpensive to maintain.

    Pascal/1000 is Hewlett-Packards new, high-level, structured
    programming language for HP 1000 computers. By structured, we mean
    that a Pascal program is written in modules in much the same way that
    a building is put together with standard building blocks.

    Who uses Pascal? Those concerned about a programs total cost: the time
    spent designing, coding, debugging, and maintaining it. In all these
    areas, Pascal/1000 offers real benefits.

    In the design phase, Pascals inherently independent modular structure
    promotes efficient, logi- cal program design, and maximizes team
    programming efforts.

    In coding a Pascal program, data typing and statement control
    constructs are tools that help the programmer express the program
    logic clearly, thus avoiding logic errors and decreasing the testing
    time.

    During debugging, Pascal aids the programmer with extensive error
    checking.

    Pascals control and data structuring facilities provide a level of
    readability invaluable for program maintenanceoften an area of major
    software costs.

    The result? Increased programmer productivity.

    Pascal/1000s compiler is a full implementation of standard Pascal plus extensions of the language such as separate compilation, double-word
    integer and double-precision real data types, predefined procedures
    for random I/O, and the ability to link Pascal programs to external
    Pascal, FORTRAN, or assembly subroutines. (And to interface with HP
    graphics, data base management, and communications software.) The
    Pascal/1000 software package price is $4000*.

    For example: HPs new digital wand. It reads bar codes and transforms
    them into data a microprocessor can understand.

    Anyone using a keyboard or pushbuttons for data entry could benefit
    from using bar codes. Bar code scanning is two to four times faster
    than key entry, and because it eliminates keying errors and contains
    built-in checksums to prevent misreadings, it is more accurate as
    well.

    HPs new HEDS-3000 digital bar code wand compounds the advantages of
    bar code data entry with its speed, reliability, low cost, and ease of
    use. Contained in its 5.2-inch (13.3-cm) length is all the circuitry
    needed to scan bar code and convert it to microprocessor-compatible
    digital output. The heart of the wand is a precision optical sensor. Signal-conditioning circuitryan analog amplifier, a digitizing
    circuit, and an output transistorprovide TTL- and CMOS-compatible
    logic-level output.

    As part of a portable data entry system, the wand can be used to read
    shelf tags for inventory control and order entry. Another interesting
    and very practical use for the wand is an input device for computers
    and programmable calculators. It can read programs and data printed in
    bar code form, and load them into the computer in a matter of seconds.
    (HP is making its own use of this faculty: the wand will soon be
    available as an input device for the HP-41C fully programmable
    hand-held calculator.) Not magic but close to it, the HEDS-3000 wand
    has a unit price of $99.50* in quantities up to 99.
