PART III
In this part, you will learn another way to store values, how to use the one finger toolbar button, change base and change the form in which your numbers display. For example, always show results as a decimal. Or, you may want to work with angles in degrees instead of radians. To change most settings we can use the Basic Format dialog box or just click the status bar.
We usually call these format settings “mode settings”. Mode settings control how the ClassPad Manager handles math and other settings.
Important: What are your ClassPad’s mode settings? Your status bar (along
the bottom of this window) might say: Alg Standard Real Rad
This means your ClassPad is set to:
•Algebra mode
•Standard number output
•Real numbers only
•Radian Mode (not degrees)
