STo specify the number of significant digits (Sci)

Example

To specify three significant digits

Press the number key that corresponds to the number of significant digits you want to specify

 

(n = 0 to 9). Specifying 0 makes the number of significant digits 10.

• Displayed values are rounded off to the number of significant digits you specify.

STo specify the normal display (Norm 1/Norm 2)Press (Norm) to switch between Norm 1 and Norm 2.Norm 1: 10–2(0.01) > x, x 1010Norm 2: 10–9(0.000000001) > x, x 1010STo specify the engineering notation display (Eng mode)

Press (Eng) to switch between engineering notation and standard notation. The indicator “/E” is on the display while engineering notation is in effect.

You can use the following symbols to convert values to engineering notation, such as 2,000 (= 2 × 103) μ 2k.

E (Exa)

σ 1018

 

m (milli)σ 10–3
P (Peta)

σ 1015

 

Μ (micro)σ 10–6
T (Tera)

σ 1012

 

n (nano)σ 10–9
G (Giga)

σ 109

 

p (pico)σ 10–12
M (Mega)

σ 106

 

f (femto)

σ 10–15

k (kilo)

σ 103

 

 

 

•The engineering symbol that makes the mantissa a value from 1 to 1000 is automatically selected by the calculator when engineering notation is in effect.

4.Function Calculations

IFunction Menus

This calculator includes five function menus that give you access to scientific functions not printed on the key panel.

•The contents of the function menu differ according to the mode you entered from the Main Menu before you pressed the * key. The following examples show function menus that appear in the RUN • MAT (or RUN) or PRGM mode.
