Figure 11-4: Converter

This application allows you to make conversions between different units of measure, which in- clude: length, area, volume, mass, velocity, tem- perature, power, energy, and currency.

The converter main screen shows two identical lists containing the units that may be converted. From this application, you can convert, for example, inches to feet, inches to centimeters, kilometers to miles, etc.

When you enter a number or quantity to be con- verted, it appears at the bottom left of the screen in the input field. The cursor will always be in the input field. The result will appear to the right of the original, in the result field (see Figure 11-4).

The darkened frames within the lists indicate the specific measurement that is currently being converted.

To make a conversion:

•Press Conversion type to open a list of units of measure. Select one of the units by scroll- ing the list and press OK.

‚When the main view returns, scroll the selec- tion frame in the original units list to the unit you want to convert from. Change between lists by pressing Change list.

ƒScroll the selection frame in the converted units list (on the right) to the units you want to convert to.

„Enter the amount to be converted. Any amount you enter will automatically appear in the input field. The result will appear in the result field.

If you select Currency as the quantity, the com- mand Rates will appear. As there are no pre-set exchange rates in the communicator, you will have to set the base currency and the exchange rate before you can use the currency converter.

•In the Currency conversion main view, press Rates, then Base currency.
