Notation
%Z displays the Numeric Notation mode
menu.
• FLO (default): Displays results in floating notation,
with digits to the left and right of the decimal point.
• SCI: Displays results in scientific notation. The
format of scientific notation is n x 10^p, where
1
{n<10 and p is an integer.
• ENG: Engineering notation (exponent is a multiple
of 3).
These modes affect only the display of results, and not
the internally stored results.
M lets you enter a value in scientific notation,
regardless of the numeric notation mode. Press J
before entering a negative exponent.
