This is a small collection of simple single purpose
calculators that I've used for electronic design. Each calculator
does one specific calculation and conversion. If you are looking
for a super conversion calculator that can do cubits to angstroms,
search for "versaverter" with your favorite search engine.
These calculators are not burdened with a lot of whizzy features
and
they don't take up much screen space.
The calculators work by actively watching the blanks and recalculating
if possible whenever any of the fields are updated. There are no
calculate or enter keys. Some calculators permit units to follow
numbers and it will be documented with each calculator. The calculators
can have the results selected and copied into the clipboard.
The calculators are provide in Tcl/Tk source code. Tcl/Tk, is
an open source environment and binaries/source code for most operating
systems can be obtained from ActiveState.
On a Windows machine, once the Tcl/Tk environment is installed, double
click on the calculator to launch it. On Linux, use command line:
wish <calc filename>.tcl.
