HP 40G manual Aplets E-lessons, Setting a mode, Press+20@ to return to Home

Setting a mode

This example demonstrates how to change the angle measure from the default mode, radians, to degrees for the current aplet. The procedure is the same for changing number format and decimal mark modes.

1.Press >6+,)7@MODES to open the HOME MODES input form.

The cursor (highlight) is in the first field, Angle Measure.

2.Press &+226ato display a list of choices.

3.Press *k,￿to select Degrees,￿and press￿2.a. The angle measure changes to degrees.

4.Press￿>+20(@ to return to HOME.

H I N T Whenever an input form has a list of choices for a field, you can press >￿@ to cycle through them instead of using &+226a.

Aplets (E–lessons)

Aplets are the application environments where you explore different classes of mathematical operations. You select the aplet that you want to work with.

Aplets come from a variety of sources:

•Built-in the HP 39G/40G (initial purchase).

•Aplets created by saving existing aplets, which have been modified, with specific configurations. See “Creating new aplets based on existing aplets” on page 16-1.

•Downloaded from HP’s Calculators web site.

•Copied from another calculator.
