setTable() CATALOG

setTable(modeNameString, settingString) ⇒ string

Sets the table parameter modeNameString to

settingString, and returns the previous setting

of the parameter. Storing the previous setting

lets you restore it later.

modeNameString is a character string that

specifies which parameter you want to set. It

must be one of the parameters from the table

below.

settingString is a character string that

specifies the new setting for the parameter. It

must be one of the settings listed below for

the specific parameter you are setting.

setTable("Graph <ì>

Table","ON")

¸"OFF"

setTable("Independent","AUTO")

¸"ASK"

¥&

Note: Capitalization and blank spaces

are optional when entering parameters.

Parameter Name Settings

"Graph <-> Table" "Off", "On"

"Independent" "Auto", "Ask"

setUnits() CATALOG

setUnits(list1) ⇒ list

Sets the default units to the values specified

in list1, and returns a list of the previous

defaults.

• To specify the built-in SI (metric) or

ENG/US system, list1 uses the form:

{"SI"} or {"ENG/US"}

• To specify a custom set of default units,

list1 uses the form:

{"CUSTOM", "cat1", "unit1" [ , "cat2", "unit2", …]}

where each cat and unit pair specifies a

category and its default unit. (You can

specify built-in units only, not user-defined

units.) Any category not specified will use

its previous custom unit.

All unit names must begin with an

underscore _.

TI-89: ¥ 

TI-92 Plus: 2 

You can also select units from a menu by

pressing:

TI-89: 2 9

TI-92 Plus: ¥ À

setUnits({"SI"}) ¸

{

"SI" "

rea" "NONE"

"Capacitance" "_F" ...

}

setUnits({"CUSTOM","Length",

"_cm","Mass","_gm"

})

{

"SI" "Lengt

" "_m"

"Mass" "_

g" ...

}

Note: Your screen may display different

units.

• To return to the previous custom default

units, list1 uses the form:

{"CUSTOM"}

If you want different defaults depending on

the situation, create separate lists and save

them to unique list names. To use a set of

defaults, specify that list name in setUnits().

You can use setUnits() to restore settings

previously saved with setUnits() !var or with

getUnits() !var.
