Function Summary and Index

=Turns the calculator's display on and off (page 18). It is also used in resetting Continuous Memory (page 63), changing the digit separator (page 61), and in various tests of the calculator's operation (pages 261).

Complex

Functions

}Real exchange

imaginary. Activates Complex mode (establishing an imaginary stack) and exchanges the real and imaginary X-registers (page 124).

VUsed to enter complex numbers. Activates Complex mode (establishing an imaginary stack) (page 121). Also used with mto indirectly dimension matrices (page 174). (For Index register functions, refer to Index Register Control keys,

page 263.)%Displays

the contents of the imaginary X-register while the key is held (page 124).

F8 Sets flag 8, which activates Complex mode (page 121).

"8 Clears flag 8, deactivating Complex mode (page 121).

Conversions

;Converts polar magnitude r and angle θ in X- and Y-registers respectively to rectangular x- and y- coordinates (page 31). For operation in Complex mode, refer to page 134.

:Converts x, y

rectangular coordinates placed in X- and Y- registers respectively to polar magnitude r and angle θ (page 30). For operation in Complex mode, refer to page 134.

hConverts decimal hours (or degrees) to hours, minutes, seconds (or degrees, minutes, seconds) (page 27).

ÀConverts hours, minutes, seconds (or degrees, minutes, seconds) to decimal hours (or degrees) (page 27).

rConverts degrees to radians (page 27).

dConverts

radians to degrees (page 27).

Digit Entry

vEnters a copy of number in X-register (display) into Y-register; used to separate multiple number entries (pages 22, 37).

Change sign of number or exponent of 10 in display (pages 19, 124).
