Miscellaneous keys and functions are listed in alphabetical order below.
(∧Open parenthesis. In RPN mode, this is stack roll up. |
|
∨)Close parenthesis. In RPN mode, this is stack roll down. |
|
;Dual purpose separator key used to enter two values. This key can either be used to separate between real and imaginary components of a complex number input, or used to enter list data value pairs when used in conjunction with the [DAT] key. |
|
.Decimal point input key. Note that DreamCalc can be configured to display numbers using a comma decimal separator, however, the key graphic remains unchanged. |
|
ACAll Clear. Clears the input expression and resets the calculator error state. In RPN mode, the stack is cleared. |
|
AnsRecalls the result of when [ENTER] was last pressed. In RPN mode, this functions acts as "LstX". |
|
CLMEMClear Memory. Separate areas of memory may be cleared individually by selecting from the on-screen menu. |
|
CONSTConstant shift key—provides access to a sub-set of natural physical constants from the main keypad. You will find constant abbreviations shown above the keys. Example: [CONST] [ENTER] Displays: 2.71... (Natural Number e) |
|
COPYCopies the display value to the clipboard. You can also use CTRL-C. The value is copied using your PC's regional setting for the decimal point. If you wish to copy the input expression string, press CTRL-E instead. |
|
DELDelete or backspace. Once the input digits have been exhausted, pressing [DEL] will backspace through the entire expression input. DEL can also be used to step back from an error condition. |
|
DRGCDRGC allows the input value to be converted to the units designated by the calculator's current angle mode. Example: Sine of 45 degrees in radians mode. Put the calculator into the radian mode by selecting Modes->Angle Mode->Radians. Now key in: [sin] 45 [DRGC] and select Deg [ENTER] Displays: 0.70710678118654752 |
|
EEXExponent input. Puts the calculator into exponent input mode. |
|
ENTERIn algebraic modes, this key is "equals". In RPN mode, ENTER pushes the display value up the stack. |
|
M-Subtracts the display value from the consecutive MEM register. |
|
M+Adds the display value from the consecutive MEM register. |
|
MODEProvides on-screen access to the calculator's mathematical configuration. The key may be pressed multiple times to page through menu screens. |
|
OFFPower off—acts like the window's caption bar [X] button. |
|
PASTEPaste the value held in the Windows clipboard into the calculator. The clipboard value may hold a complex number, and is translated using your PC's regional setting for decimal point and thousand separators. Alternatively, press CTRL-V. |
|
SHIFTShift key—provides access to secondary functions labeled above the keys. |
|
S-MODEStatistical mode change key. Allows convenient access to change the statistical mode via the keypad. |
|
STOStore memory key. [STO] can be pressed in conjunction with keys labeled A - F, MEM and numeric keys 0 - 9, to store the current display value in one of the calculator's memory registers. |
|
RCLRecall memory key. [RCL] can be pressed in conjunction with keys labeled A - F, MEM and numeric keys 0 - 9, to recall value from one of the calculator's memory registers. |
|
RndRounds the display value internally to the precision used in the numeric display. Rnd is particularly useful when in fixed precision modes. |
|
X⇔YThis key is primarily intended for use in RPN mode, and exchanges the values in the X and Y stack registers. Although not as useful in algebraic modes, it may be used to exchange values either side of a binary function. |
