Selecting the floating point number system in scien- tific notation

The calculator has two settings for displaying a floating point number:

FLO_A (FLOAT A) and FLO_B (FLOAT B). In each display set- ting, a number is automatically displayed in scientific notation outside the following preset ranges:

• FLO_A ~02: 0.000000001

X 9,999,999,999

• FLO_B ~03: 0.01 X

9,999,999,999
