Data Entry
Value Key Display Description
  shift C lists 0 Clears the x and y lists.
33 = (CHN, ALG) or ENTER (RPN) 33.0000 Enters y value.
2 Σ+ 1.0000 Append x and y to lists x and y.
42 = or ENTER 42.0000 Enters y value.
3 Σ+ 2.0000 Append x and y to lists x and y.
Repeat for the remaining data.

Data can be verified and corrected using the List Manager.
