Expressions and Functions

You can program some values as expressions. Parentheses enclose expressions. The 3500i displays an error message if the expression is incorrectly entered. Expressions follow the standard mathematics order of operations (multiplication, division, addition and subtraction).

An expression must contain an operator or use a function.
