| Clear modes |
Normal clear mode requires a Ctrl-C or clear button click to
be ready for a new sum. Auto-clear mode will clear the frame
when the first key is pressed after an equals. If you need to
alter the last value entered after pressing equals, click
over the entry box and type in the change. The clear mode is changed by clicking with adjust over clear button or in 'Options'. |
|
| Focus mode |
By default the input focus will be gained and lost as the pointer enters
or leaves Tally windows. Alternatively clicking in a Tally window will gain the focus. The focus type can be changed in 'Options'. |
|
| Tally mode | This is the normal calculator mode. | |
| Doubletake |
For re-checking a tally list. e.g. If you need to add up a lot
of receipts, use 'tally' mode first and then 'doubletake' to
make sure all entries were correct. Use the up/down cursor keys or buttons to move through the list. |
|
| Enter calc | This is for entering a formula. The variable value is entered as ?n where n is a number between 1 and 9 (inclusive). | |
| Exec calc | This performs the entered calculation replacing the ?n with the keyed entry values. | |
| Example calcs |
?1*9% - To find nine percent on a range of values. Use 'Enter
calc' to create the formula and then 'Exec calc' to enter
all the values to be worked upon. ?1*?2% - To find varying percentages on a range of values. |
|
| Saved calcs | On saving, the ?n variables can be assigned names instead. | |
| Options | Main window position can be stored by holding the 'Alt' button and clicking with Select on the icon bar icon, clear with Adjust. Initial window size can be minimized or maximised. The default clearance and focus modes can be set. The functionality of the Delete and End keys can either be dependent on which OS version is in use or forced to the old style of Delete left and Delete right. | |
