The Setup Views; The Modes View - HP 39g Master Manual

SETUP
The views
The SETUP views, above PLOT, SYMB and NUM,
are used to customize their respective views. For
example, the PLOT SETUP screen controls things
like axes, labels etc. Their use changes in
different aplets, so for more information see the
explanations in the chapters dealing with the various aplets, particularly with
the Function aplet on page 55.
In particular, the SYMB SETUP key is only used in one place, which is to
choose the data model for bivariate statistics in the Statistics aplet. It is not
available in the other aplets and trying to access it will result only in a quick
flash of an exclamation mark on the screen to say "You've done something
wrong!".
Information on the use of the SKETCH and NOTE keys
(above APLET and VEIWS) can be found in the
chapters "Using the Sketchpad" and "Using the Notepad Catalog" on pages
184 & 178. Briefly, any aplet (except for the Quad & Trig Explorer aplets)
has a note and a sketch associated with it, which are usually blank unless
you have added to them.
The main use for them comes with aplets downloaded from the Internet.
Instructions for using the aplet are sometimes included with the aplet in note
form, and sometimes as an accompanying sketch.
MODES
The view
The MODES view (see right) controls the
numeric format used in displaying numbers
and angles in aplets. At the bottom of the
screen you will see that one of the screen keys
has been given the function
this key pops up a menu of choices from which
you can select the option which suits you. The
default angle setting is radians.
. Pressing
Calculator Tip
If you don't want to use the menu then, rather than
pressing , highlight the field and then press the '
key repeatedly. This will cycle through the choices without
popping up a menu. This can be much faster if the menu
has only a few choices.
