The CR key advances the cursor to the start of
the next line. If the cursor was in any location on the
last line, pressing the CR key will position the cursor to
the start of the first line in the data entry region
(column 2, line 3). The HC key returns the cursor to
the start of the first line in the data entry region
(column 2, line 3).
(20) Calculator Mode. Only the numeric, ¬,
®, HC, period, and mode keys and the keys printed
with alternate functions on the keyboard face are
active during the calculator mode.
If the calculator mode is selected for any of the
three pilot-input pages after power on initialization, an
asterisk will display in column 1, line 2 and a separator
(Ù ) in red will display in its standard position in column
11, line 2. Line 2 is the numeric entry line in the
calculator mode. The separator marks the extent of
the number that can be entered to the right of the
separator.
(a) Numeric Keys, Period, and Sign
Change. Each time a numeric key is pressed, the
number displays in the rightmost location of the
numeric entry line. Any previously entered data is
shifted to the left. A number can include a decimal
point (period) and a sign. Numbers can be entered to
within one space to the right of the separator. This
space is reserved for the sign when a maximum
number of digits is entered. All numbers are assumed
to be positive as they are entered. A positive number
has a space rather than a + sign preceding it, whereas
a negative number has a as the leading character.
After a number is entered, the sign can be changed by
pressing the V key whose alternate function is shown
as "+/-" for the calculator mode. If an attempt is made
to enter a number that is too large to fit to the right of
the separator, the leftmost character will be lost as the
new character enters from the right.
(b) Enter Function. When the U key is
pressed, the enter function is requested. By using the
enter function, up to 10 lines of information can be
restored on the screen below the numeric entry line.
These 10 storage lines are referred to as a data stack.
The asterisk in column 1 indicates the beginning of the
stack. The line following the asterisk is the end of the
stack. Each time the enter function is requested, the
end of the stack is cleared and all the data on the
screen down through the beginning of the stack
(designated by the asterisk in column 1) is moved
down one line, leaving the numeric entry line cleared.
When the beginning of the stack reaches the last line
on the screen, no more data can be entered into the
stack.
(c) Roll Up. When the P key is pressed,
the roll up function is requested. The roll up function
rolls all the data on the numeric entry line down to the
bottom of the page, and moves all the other data on
the screen up one line.
(d) Exchange Function. When the W key
is pressed, the exchange function is requested. This
function exchanges only the number to the right of the
separator on the numeric entry line with the number on
the next (third) line.
(e) Clear Entry Function. When the S
key is pressed, the clear entry function is requested.
this function clears only the number to the right of the
separator on the numeric entry line. No other data is
affected.
(f) Delete Line Function. When the X
key is pressed, the delete line function is requested.
This function deletes all the data on the numeric entry
line and moves the data on the bottom line of the
screen to the numeric entry line. All the lines from the
end of the stack (the line following the asterisk) to the
bottom of the page are moved down by one line and a
blank line is entered at the end of the stack.
If the beginning of the stack (identified by an
asterisk in column 1) is at the bottom of the page, no
action occurs when the delete line function is
requested. In this case, the numeric entry line
contains the end of the stack whose number can be
cleared by pressing CLE.
(g) Beginning Of Stack (BOS) Function.
When the CR key is pressed, the BOS function is
requested. This function rolls up each line on the
screen until the beginning of stack line displays in the
numeric entry line.
(h) Set
Beginning
of
Stack
(SBS)
Function. When the Y key is pressed, the SBS
function is requested. When this function is requested,
the asterisk designating the beginning of the stack is
cleared from its current position and set to column 1
line 2, the numeric entry line.
(i) Add Operation. When the Z key is
pressed, this operation adds the number on the
numeric entry line to the number on the third line and
replaces the number on the third line with the result.
The number on the numeric entry line is cleared.
(j) Subtract Operation. When the - key
is pressed, this operation subtracts the number on the
numeric entry line from the number on the third line
and replaces the number on the third line with the
