The GLX displays very large and very small numbers using scientific notation.
You can also input any number using scientific notation. On the GLX, the letter
E, when it is placed between two numbers (with no spaces) is interpreted as
meaning “times 10 raised to the power of….”
The letter E can always be input by pressing the decimal point key ( ) twice,
even when the GLX is not in multipress text input mode.
Below are some examples of scientific notation and their normal equivalents.
5E2 = 500
1.234E5 = 123400
56.789E1 = 567.89
6.518E-3 = 0.006518
A lowercase e can be used interchangeably with uppercase E:
4.35e5 = 4.35E5 = 435000
A number expressed in scientific notation must not have a space adjacent to the
E. The number to the left of the E can contain a decimal point, but one is not
required. The number to the right of the E must not contain a decimal point.

The Graph, Table, Calculator, Sensors, Output, Notes, Meter, and Stopwatch
screens can all be printed on certain models of printers

connected to the GLX’s
USB port. In these screens, select the print command (or commands) from the
menu.
To install a printer on the GLX, simply connect it to the GLX’s USB port using
the cable that came with your printer. Drivers for compatible printers are factory
installed on the GLX and updated whenever the GLX receives a firmware update
(see page 93).
