Your calculator learns mathematical procedures or programs in the
Program (PGM) Mode. To set the calculator to the Program Mode,
press [ SHIFT ] [ PGM ]. PGM appears on the display.
Now enter your procedure as if you were just going to calculate it once
- except - press [ SHIFT ] [ [x] ] before entering variable data. You get
your first answer while you are still in the PGM mode.
Note : If you press [ SHIFT ] [ [x] ] then [ • ] or a number, and then [ EXP ],
[ +/ −], [ ) ] or [ CE ], both the number and the first function following the
number are treated as one variable - they are not written into the
program as steps.
Remember, you can enter a maximum of 40 steps. If you try to enter a
41st step, the calculator displays E . Press [ ON/C ] to clear the error.
To stop storing a program, press [ SHIFT ] [ PGM ] again. PGM
disappears and the calculator leaves the program mode. Press [ RUN ]
to begin repeating the same mathematical procedure with different
variables.
When you press [ RUN ], you can begin entering different variables.
Just enter each variable in the order in which it occurs in the formula
and press [ RUN ] after each variable. The answer appears on the
display.
Stored programs are automatically erased when you press [ SHIFT ]
[ PGM ]. So, unless you want to enter a new program, do not select the
program mode.
You can program your calculator to give you interim values in your
formula also. While programming the calculator (in PGM mode), press
[ = ] when you reach the point where you want the interim value
displayed. Then press [ SHIFT ] [ HALT ] and continue entering your
formula in the usual way.
When you run the program, press [ RUN ] after the calculator displays
an interim value to resume the program. You can use the same
method to program your calculator to run two or more formulas, one
after another.
