All of the pale yellow button functions have a built in "calculator" for solving that function. Click the button to open the calculator.  The cursor starts off in the top most text box unless otherwise stated. For those functions that do not require all inputs move around by pressing the Enter or Tab key, click the [Enter <—] button, or click on the desired text box. To see what Multiple-Entry Calculators are available, Click this link.

Using the calculators requires the use of the keyboard to input your data:

The Backspace key works as expected.

The Esc key clears the text box you're in.

To input numbers that require a minus (-) sign, you can use either minus sign (hyphen) on the keyboard or the CHS (Change Sign) key on the keyboard (\).

To enter numbers multiplied by a power of 10, enter the number then press the letter E on the keyboard and enter the exponent. The letter E performs the same function as the EEX Button on the main calculator.

Use the Enter or Tab key to select your input and continue (the [Enter <—] button works as well).

While in the "calculator" you can change the units used for the calculation, once changed these units will remain selected until REC is closed. Of course you can also change the units and designate them as the default units.

Making additional calculations becomes quite easy; some of the functions let you select which Value to Use in the next calculation while the more complicated functions require selecting which Value you want to re-calculate (Calc).

When you're finished with a calculation you can click on:

[Add to Xreg] copy the solution to the Running Tape Display (RTD) in the main calculator.

[Clear] to reset the "calculator" to initial conditions.

[Exit] to return to the main calculator.

The "calculator" will remain active until exited.
