-This needs tweaking for each calculator, some have ''alpha'' register names, some ''numeric''. The handling of the <loop> is different in each calculator,too. 
- 
-The PRG is run for 1 minute and the result is found in register 2 (or wherever).

-===== Fingerprinting ===== 
- 
-Each calculator handles the calculation of functions (SIN, COS etc) differently - different algorithms, different degrees of precision etc. 
- 
-One way of spotting similar underlying hard/firmware is to carry out a fixed chained calculation on each calculator and to observe the result. 
- 
-One common test is a sequence of SIN COS TAN ATAN ACOS ASIN on a relatively low starting number - such as 9 
- 
-<key>9</key><key>SIN</key><key>COS</key><key>TAN </key><key>ATAN</key><key> ACOS </key><key>ASIN </key> gives a number (hopefully) very close to the starting value of ''9'' - and the variance from ''9'' is a fingerprint that can be used to spot similarities between different models.
