4. DISPLAY FORMAT AND
DECIMAL SETTING FUNCTION
For convenient and easy operation, this model can be used in one of five display modes.
The selected display status is shown in the lower left part of the display (Format
Indicator).
Note: If more 0's (zeros) than needed are displayed when the ON/C key is pressed, check
• Floating decimal point format 1/2 (N1/N2 is displayed)
Valid values beyond the maximum range are displayed in the form of [10-digit
(mantissa) + 2-digit (exponent)]
• Fixed decimal point format (FIX is displayed)
Displays the fractional part of the calculation result according to the specified
number of decimal places.
• Scientific notation (SCI is displayed)
Frequently used in science to handle extremely small or large numbers.
• Engineering scientific notation (ENG is displayed)
Convenient for converting between different units.
<Example>
Let's compare the display result of
[10000 ÷ 8.1 =] in each display format.
(specifies normal mode)
Note: The calculator has two settings for displaying a
floating point number: NORM1 (default setting) and
NORM2. In each display setting, a number is
automatically displayed in scientific notation outside a
preset range:
• NORM1: 0.000000001 ≤ x ≤ 9999999999
• NORM2: 0.01 ≤ x ≤ 9999999999
