Dimensional function Keys
m
Millimeters —
Identifies entry as millimeters, with
repeated presses toggling between linear, area and
volume units. Converts dimensional value to units of
millimeters, with repeated presses toggling between
millimeters and meters.
g 5
Centimeters (cm) —
Identifies entry as
centimeters, with repeated presses toggling
between linear, area and volume units.
g 9
Meters (m) —
Identifies entry as meters, with repeat
-
ed presses toggling between linear, area and volume
units.
g 7
Feet
—
Identifies entry as Feet, with repeated press
-
es of
g 7
toggling between linear, area and volume
units. Also used with
i
and
/
for entering Feet-Inch
values. Repeated presses of
g 7
during conversions
toggle between fractional Feet-Inch and decimal Feet.
i
Inch —
Identifies entry as Inches, with repeated
presses toggling between linear, area and volume
units. Entry can be whole or decimal numbers. Also
used with
/
for entering fractional Inch values (e.g.,
9 i 1 / 2
). Repeated presses during conversions
toggle between fractional and decimal Inches.
/
Fraction Bar —
Used to enter fractions. Fractions
can be entered as proper (1/2, 1/8, 1/16) or improper
(3/2, 9/8). If the denominator (bottom) is not entered,
the calculator’s fractional accuracy setting is
automatically used. Results are always shown in
typical dimensional fractional format.
B
1/1000” (mils) —
Multiplies a dimensionless entry by
0.001 Inch and displays the result as Inches. Converts
a linear entry to decimal Inches. For both methods,
the result is rounded and displayed to three decimal
places.
