“Aplet view configuration” on page 1-18 for further
information.
In addition to these aplets, which can be used in a variety
of applications, the HP 40gs is supplied with two
teaching aplets: Quad Explorer and Trig Explorer. You
cannot modify configuration settings for these aplets.
A great many more teaching aplets can be found at HP’s
web site and other web sites created by educators,
together with accompanying documentation, often with
student work sheets. These can be downloaded free of
