Please see the
index of operations
for the commands printed on white background, and
the
catalog of unit conversions
for those printed on yellow.
Some commands and modes use the display in a special way. They are listed below in
order of falling priority:
1.
VERS
generates a display similar to the one shown on the title page of this manual.
Pressing any key will delete this message and return to previous state.
2.
SHOW
displays the full mantissa of
x
, i.e. all sixteen digits present internally. E.g.
returns
.
Pressing any key will return to previous display.
3.
STATUS
shows the status of 30 user flags very concisely in one display, allowing an
immediate status overview after some training. If e.g. flags 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 14, 17,
19, and 23 are set, and labels B, C, and D are defined in program memory, STATUS
will display this:
Within the numeric section, each row of horizontal bars in the mantissa shows the
status of 10 flags. When a flag is set, the respective bar turns black. So here the top
row of bars indicates flags 0 and 1 are clear, 2 and 3 set, and flag 4 clear. Then, the
divider II separates the first group of five flags from the next. Top row bars on its right
side indicate flags 5 and 7 are set. Next row of bars shows flags 11, 13, 14, 17, 19
are set, and in the lowest row only flag 23 is set. All other flags in the range from 10
to 29 are clear.
Scrolling down by
will display flags 10 - 39, then 20 - 49 etc. until 70 - 99, 80 - D,
and 90 - D. Scrolling up by
reverts this. Alternatively, pressing a digit, e.g. 5, will
show up to 30 flags starting with 10 times this digit, e.g. flags 50 - 79. The numeric
exponent always indicates the status of the hotkeys top left on the keyboard
– if all
four labels are used in program memory then
ALL
will be displayed there.
The status will be displayed until any key is pressed but
,
, or a digit.
4. During
command input
, the dot matrix displays the command chosen until input is
completed, i.e. until all required trailing parameters are entered. The prefixes
,
,
and
are shown until they are resolved. If you pressed any of

erro-
neously, recovery is as easy as follows:
