Reset The Reset is used to reset the calculator to the factory default settings ( initialization ) or the Deleting Setup settings, variable eActivities, programs or add-ins. Often, a reset is required before exams. The following example deletes all data but retains installed additional programs ( Add-ins ) in memory. System settings open the system application.
Main Menu and Menu Navigation Application areas can be opened from the Main menu. [ MENU ] Main Menu With the key [ MENU ] , one can return to the Main menu. Opening and Closing an application Use the Cursor keys ( ^ ) ( < ) ( > ) to the desired application and open the application with [ EXE ] Alternatively, each application-icon is assigned a number or letter, which will take one directly to the application ( without using the [ ALPHA ] key.
Basic Settings and Commands In the SETUP, default settings of each application can be changed. [ OPTN ] [ VARS ] Using the keys , depending on the application, commands and variables are entered SETUP In the SETUP, the basic settings for each application is set: [ SHIFT ] [ MENU ] ( SETUP ) Important settings in SETUP of RUN-MATRIx- application:...
RUN-MAT Applications: Simple Calculations ( Simple ) calculations are performed in the RUN-MATRIx-application. Input Mode The input Mode “Math” ( Natural Display ) is set in the applications RUN-MATRIx, TABLE, GRAPH, DYNOGRAPH nd EQUATIONS default. To select the Input Mode, the SETUP of each application is opened: [ SHIFT ] [ MENU ] [ F1 ] ( Input mode: Math ) .
Input Options Inputs, also in already-running calculations, can be edited and changed. Inserting and Deleting Entries To insert: Place the cursor at the position the expression should be inserted. Make entries. Overwrite: [ SHIFT ] [ DEL ] To Delete: Place the cursor to the right of the expression to be deleted.
Calculating with commands Command Structure Every calculation with a command has a specific structure: Command ( Term, Parameter ) . The number of parameters may vary according to the command. Parameters are seperated with [ , ] Example Calculation of zeros: SolveN ([ OPTN ] [ F4 ] [ F5 ]) : SolveN ( Term or Equation [ , Variable ] [ ,lower bound ] [ , upper bound ]) The lower and upper bound of the Variable may be omitted.
Working with Variables/Squares Since all calculations are numerically performed, the calculations with Variables must be assigned one value. Assigning Variable values To assign values to variables, the key [ --> ] must be used. Value --> Variable ( letters from A-Z with [ ALPHA ] - key ) Calculating with Variables Assigned values from 123 to the Variable A.
