Flash CPE is a periodic table. It contains more datas that any other periodic table and is provided as a flash App. It contains also main datas about more that 1600 isotops! It's very easy to use with its board you can browse using arrows and shortcuts.
First of all, here's how to install it:
Note: you must have TIConnect installed, or any other link program that supports FlashApps. Only TIConnect method will be detailled here.
-unzip the 9xk file into the directory of your choice.
-launch TIConnect, then click on the TIDeviceExplorer icon
-drag&drop CPE2K3v3.9xK file into TIDeviceExplorer's window. Transfer should begin in a moment:
-Once transfert has ended, the about screen should appear.
To launch it, use "FLASH APPLICATIONS" menu if you dont use app desktop, or if you use it select Flash CPE v3's icon :
-Press [ENTER] key! FlashCPE v3's main board should appear!
Tools menu can be accessed with the [F1] key.
It contains basic functions for the App itself:
- "Remove App" : this is to remove the FlashCPE app from your machine, if anyway you'd want it!
- "Data size" : gives you detailled informations about the data's size and number of known isotops & elements
- "About" : displays the about screen
- "Contact" : gives you informations you need to contact the author (me!)
- "Quit" : leaves the app (you'd guessed it, no?)
This menu can be used to acces the great amount of datas contained in FlashCPE. All the datas are gathered in categories.
Here's the categories and what they contains:
-History
-Discoverer
-Discovery date
-name's root
-Base datas:
-Symbol
-Molar mass
-Other properties
-Cost
-State
-Crystal properties
-Crystal structure
-List isotops
-Infos on element
-Bulk properties
-Color
-Density
-Hardness
-Molar volumes
-Velocity of sound
-Electrical conductivity
-Optical properties
-Reflectivity
-Refractive index
-Thermal properties
-Melting pont
-Boiling point
-Critical point
-Specifical heat
-Thermical conductivity
-Heap of fusion
-Heat of vaporisation
-Heat of atomization
-Electronic datas
-Electronic structure
-Electronegativities
-Electronic affinities
-Radius
-Fundamental state
-Ionizations
-Oxydation levels
-First ion
-Second ion
-Third ion
-Polarizability
You can also access main datas by pressing [ENTER] on an element, a small window that contains main datas will appear:
It contains row, column, block, symbol, z, name, molar mass, electronic structure, oxydation levels and electronegativity!
The two small squares on the top right hand corner are Toxicity box and Syntheticity box (see Tc for an example of a synthetic element).
Export menu can be used to export ID Cards, Textrider formatted and standard. The first one is best viewed with textrider, the second one with the TIOS text viewer.
The third item, "Datas..." diaplays a list that allows you to export the most of the datas contained in FlashCPE. Some of them will be automatically converted to numbers list (molar masses, electronegativities...), some of them won't (symbols, roots...).
Use the higllight menu to highlight (huh!) parts of the board:
Use [UP] and [DOWN] key to change family.
Use these items to search for:
-Name
-Symbol
-All datas (note: this engine WILL NOT search among names or symbols!)
-Jump to an element knowing its Z
With Names/Symbols search engines, using the [F1] key to switch between First Char/Whole name mode.
If you use first char mode, only the first letter of what you typed will be used. A list of Names/Symbols beginning with the letter will be displayed.
If you use the whole name mode, engines will search for the exact Name/Symbol you typed.
-General help displays general help (huuuuh!)
-Cristaline structure displays a box containing abbreviations used in "Crystal Properties" box.
-Decays contains a submenu that displays 6 different boxes about decay modes:
-Alpha
-Betas
-Gamma
-Spontaneous fission
-Isomeric transition
-Electronic capture

Tips:
-use Diamond+left/right to go to the board's edge
-use 2nd + to go the the first/last element
-use any letter from A to Z (from a to z too :-P) to jump to the nearest element beginning with the letter you typed.
Here's how to use isotops windows:
Select any element you want. Let's say Gallium.
Press [Diamond + B] or [F1 + 5 + Enter]. This window appears:
Tip : underlined elements are natural.
Select one of the isotops you want, for example 67Ga31, the window that appear displays informations about this isotop:
The heavy bar under the title contains:
-Decay time, if applicable
-Aboundance, if applicable
-Mass, if applicable
-Isotop content (p stands for protons, e- for electrons and n for neutrons), in all cases.
Then comes the decay modes. It lists the decay modes of the isotop, if of course it's not stable!
Neither I nor anyone else but you can be liable to anything that can happen or should happen to your hardware and software or to anything else.
I provide quality softwares, and Flash CPE was [heavily] beta-tested and should be crash free. Im also not responsible of what can/should happen by using datas provided here. Any damage caused by this is only liable to you.
This software is provided as a freeware, but i'd be glad to receive sometimes a mail from users.
