TRIG Layout

LOG Layout |

HYP Layout

MIX Layout |
In the Settings View (see below) the additonal scientific
functions can be assigned to the"Shift" number keys.
Four common layouts can be used :
- "TRIG" for trigonometric
functions.
- "HYP" for hyperbolic functions.
- "LOG" for logarithmic functions.
- "MIX" layout for trigonometric
and natural logarithm functions.
Also, all scientific functions are available in
the "MATH" menu, including Polar to Rectangular,
Combinations and Permutations calculations. |
