kDegree, Minute, Second (Sexagesimal) Calculations
You can perform calculations using sexagesimal values, and you can convert between
sexagesimal and decimal.
AInputting Sexagesimal Values
The following is basic syntax for inputting a sexagesimal value.
{Degrees}
${Minutes} ${Seconds} $
Example: To input 2°30´30˝
2$30$30$w
• Note that you must always input something for the degrees and minutes, even if they are
zero.
Example: To input 0°00´30˝, press
0$0$30$.
ASexagesimal Calculation Examples
The following types of sexagesimal calculations will produce sexagesimal results.
• Addition or subtraction of two sexagesimal values
• Multiplication or division of a sexagesimal value and a decimal value
Example 1: 2°20´30˝ + 39´30˝ = 3°00´00˝
2$20$30$+
0$39$30$w
Example 2: 2°20´00˝ × 3.5 = 8°10´00˝
2$20$*

Calculation History and Replay
Calculation history maintains a record of each calculation you perform, including the
expressions you input and calculation results.You can use calculation history in the COMP,
CMPLX, and BASE Modes.
kAccessing Calculation History
The `symbol in the upper right corner of the display indicates that there is data stored in
calculation history. To view the data in calculation history, press
f. Each press of fwill
scroll upwards (back) one calculation, displaying both the calculation expression and its
result.
Example:
1+1w2+2w
3+3w
f
f
While scrolling through calculation history records, the
$symbol will appear on the display,
which indicates that there are records below (newer than) the current one. When this
symbol is turned on, press
cto scroll downwards (forward) through calculation history
records.
Important!
• Calculation history records are all cleared whenever you press
p, when you change to a
different calculation mode, and whenever you perform any reset operation.
• Calculation history capacity is limited. Whenever you perform a new calculation while
calculation history is full, the oldest record in calculation history is deleted automatically to
make room for the new one.
