Engineering Format ({ })
ENG format displays a number in a manner similar to scientific notation, except
that the exponent is a multiple of three (there can be up to three digits before the
" " or " " radix mark). This format is most useful for scientific and engineering
calculations that use units specified in multiples of 10
kilo–units.)
After the prompt, _, type in the number of digits you want after the first
significant digit. For 10 or 11 places, press
For example, in the number
significant digits after the first significant digit you see when the calculator is
set to ENG 4 display mode. The "3" following the "

When you continue pressing
the decimal point three place to the right and convert the exponent to the next
lower multiples of 3;
shifting the decimal point three place to the left and convert the exponent to the
next higher multiples of 3.
ALL Format ({ })
ALL format displays a number as precisely as possible (12 digits maximum). If all
the digits don't fit in the display, the number is automatically displayed in scientific
format: 123,456.

Changing the number of displayed decimal places affects what you see, but it
does not affect the internal representation of numbers. Any number stored
internally always has 12 digits.
For example, in the number 14.8745632019, you see only "14.8746" when the
display mode is set to FIX 4, but the last six digits ("632019") are present
internally in the calculator.
