Chapter 7: Calculator.
In addition to previously described methods for opening the Calculator
from the Main Menu, you can also enter the shortcut command
c+B9B7B8 to open this application from anywhere in the Braille
Notetaker.
General information about the Calculator application:
1) Simple and scientific calculations can be performed.
2) Always use Computer Braille.
a) ** New ** with v1.4: The calculation line only supports computer
braille input, even when you have switched to a contracted braille.
3) Input figures and symbols and then press B8, or type the equals sign.
The calculation and result will be shown on the braille display.
4) To delete the previous calculation and carry out a new one, open the
menus by tapping S3 and select Edit > Clear Calculator Line.
Alternatively, use shortcut command e+B9.
5) When you open the calculator, the display will show either the last-
performed calculation, or a blank field containing "0".
6) Numbers and operators are input directly.
7) Decimals can be input either with a decimal point (default) or a
comma. The comma can be set as a user specific setting within menu
item, Tools > Options > Comma Instead of Decimal Point.
As with other VarioUltra applications, options can be found in the
Command Menu or via shortcut commands. Advanced mathematical
(scientific) functions can also be accessed in this manner, and are
addressed later in this chapter.
