6. Binary, octal and hexadecimal values

M

¦§ ¥¤

Use the M key to set the number base. When you use bases other than 10, you can only enter numbers valid for the base—eg, in binary mode you can only enter 1 and 0.

M¦ sets the mode to hexadecimal. In hexadecimal mode, A to F keys are enabled. Note that b and d in hexadecimal mode are shown in lower case to distinguish them from numbers.

M§ sets the mode to octal.

M¥ sets the mode to binary.

M¤ sets the mode to decimal.

Note: When using a number base other than 10, any fractional part is truncated.
