Running the program

4.Press j to return to the PROG mode menu.

5.Press 0, select the program ‘NBASE’ and press e.

•The program prompts you to enter a decimal number and then displays it in binary format.

•Press any key to display the number in pental format, then press any key to see it in octal format, and again press any key to see it in hexadecimal format.

•Be careful when using the Wait command in NBASE program mode. Numbers followed by Wait are processed according to the current number base, binary, pental, octal, decimal or hexadecimal.

To specify the wait time in decimal format, define a variable (e.g., T = 5) for the wait time beforehand and use it in the Wait command (i.e., Wait T).
