CALC 1 Overview

CALC 1 uses multiple calculators so each calculator has the most important keys for that task on the top row.

Focused Calculators

Each Focused Calculator has a different set of keys on the top row, with the SHIFT, STO and RCL keys related to the keys on the top row. Each Focused Calculator has it's own documentation.

The index of all Focused Calculators can be found here.

Formula Calculators

The top row of the Formula Calculators are for a single formula. The top left key (under the CALC 1 button) evaluates that formula. The other keys on the top row are for storing the parameter values.

The index of all Formula Calculators can be found here.

See the Formula Calculators General Help for details.

Form Calculators

Form Calculators let you view all of the values and labels at once. They share values with their corresponding Focused Calculators so you can easily switch between them without having to re enter values.
