You can convert from any unit in a category to any other unit in the same category.

Attempting to convert from a unit in one category (such as “AREA”) to a unit in another category (such as “TIME”) results in a Conversion ERROR.

See the “Unit Conversion Command List” (page 2-50) for information about the units included in each category.

 is a command that links the two conversion commands. This command is always available at () of the Conversion menu.

Real numbers or a list that contains real number elements only can be used as the value being converted from. When values being converted from are input into a list (or when list memory is specified), conversion calculation is performed for each element in the list and calculation results are returned in list format (ListAns screen).

A complex number cannot be used as a value to be converted from. An error occurs if even a single element of a list being used as the value being converted from contains a complex number.

Example 1 To convert 50cm to inches

D(cm)()(LENG)CA(in)U

* fx-7400GII: (CONV)
