Units
and Conversions
Entry and display of special formats:
Feet-inches-fraction (e.g., 24' 7-3/16")
Inches-fraction (e.g., 287-5/8")
Degrees-minutes-seconds (e.g., 52.9.8)
Hours-minutes-seconds (e.g., 5:21:50)
Minutes-seconds (e.g., 125:32)
Fractions (e.g., 14-9/125, 32-1/2 kg)
Binary, octal, and hexidecimal (e.g., 101101, 55, 2D)
User-selectable inch fraction denominator (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64,
128, or 1000)
Converts among and computes with over 30 different units (ft, m,
lb, yd3, etc.), including both English/Imperial and SI/Metric
units
Computes directly with dimensional values (e.g., 70 lb/ft3
x 5 yd3 = 9450 lb)
Currency conversions with update of exchange rates over the Internet.
Supports 12 currencies.
Keypads and Entry Logic
Algebraic and RPN entry modes (user selectable)
Allows entry of feet-inches-fractions using the decimal key. For
example, to enter 4' 3-21/32", you would press [4] [.] [3]
[.] [2] [1]
Allows entry of any denominator (after entering numerator, just
press [.] to enter a new denominator)
Dedicated buttons for picking the units that you use most often
(you can assign the units that you want to these buttons)
Display Options
Choice of display precision, including fixed decimal places or significant
figures
Option to reduce inch fractions to the least common denominator
or leave them unreduced (e.g., 1/2" vs 16/32")
Option to show or not show a zero before inch fractions (e.g., 5'
0-3/4" vs 5' 3/4")
Additional Features
"Paperless tape" that keeps your last 20 entries (you
can also recall tape values to the main display)
Memory with 5 locations - all support store, recall, add (M+), and
subtract (M-)
Advanced math function keys including triginometric, logarithmic,
and power functions
Easy input and editing, including backspace and ability to click
the main display value to re-enter edit mode
Ability to print and/or save Solver results (Windows version only)
Automatically stores display, stack, tape, and memory values when
the software shuts down and restores these values when you restart
the calculator

Converts among and computes with over 200 different units (ft, m,
lb, ydLogarithmic - log, ln, 10x, ex
Power - x2, square root, yx, etc.), including
both English/Imperial and SI/Metric units
Computes directly with dimensional values (e.g., 70 lb/ft3
x 5 yd3 = 9450 lb)
Supports and converts among multiple bases: decimal (i.e., standard
base 10), binary, octal, and hexidecimal
Currency conversions with update of exchange rates over the Internet.
Supports 12 currencies.
Keypads and Entry Logic
Algebraic and RPN entry modes (user selectable)
Choice of feet-inchs-fraction entry modes using either the 16-key
keyboard or decimal delimited entry. For example, to enter 4' 3-21/32",
you would press:
With 16-key keypad: [4] [3] [2]
[1] [.] [3] [2]
With decimal delimited entry: [4] [.] [3] [.] [2] [1] [.] [3] [2]
Dedicated buttons for picking the units that you use most often
(you can assign the units that you want to these buttons)
Mini-keypad for easy entry when working with Solvers, Financial
Calculations, etc.
