4.5 PROGRAM AREAS AND CALCULATION MODES
This unit contains a total of 10 program areas are all utilized in the same manner, and 10 independent programs can
be input. One main program (main routine) and a number of secondary programs (subroutines) can also be stored. The
total number of steps available for storage in program areas P0 through P9 is 400 maximum. Specification of a pro-
gram area is performed as follows:
RUN mode: Press any key from 0 through 9 after pressing the Prog key. Then press
.
Example:
P0
P8
*** In this mode, program execution begins when
is pressed.
WRT mode: Use or to move the cursor under the program area to be specified and press .
Only the numbers of the program areas that do not yet contain programs will be displayed. “_” symbols indicate
program areas which already contain program.
Example:
4.5.1 Program area and calculation mode specification in the WRT mode
Besides normal function calculations, to perform binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal calculations and
conversions, standard deviation calculations, and regression calculations in a program, a calculation mode
must be specified. Program mode specification and program area specification are performed at the same
time. First the WRT mode is specified (
), and then a calculation mode is specified. Next,
the program area is specified, and, when is pressed, the calculation mode is memorized in the
program area.
Henceforth, stored programs will be accompanied with the calculation mode.
Example: Memorizing the BASE-N mode in P2
As shown above, the calculation mode will be memorized into a program area.
4.5.2 Cautions concerning the calculation modes
All key operations available in each calculation mode can be stored as programs, but, depending on the
calculation mode, certain commands of functions cannot be used.
