HP 97 Fixed number format question Message #1 Posted by Mike on 26 May 2004, 9:38 p.m. I have just recieved an HP 97. The fixed number format displays only two decimal places. I have tried to change it, but still only two? Am I doing something wrong? Mike 1111

Re: HP 97 Fixed number format question Message #2 Posted by Randy on 26 May 2004, 10:18 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike I dunno. What'cha do? {Sorry, couldn't resist} [FIX] [DSP] [4] should yield a 0.0000 display. Change the number of places to suit. [ENG] [DSP] [n] [SCI] [DSP] [n] for other formats were n is the number of decimals you want. Enjoy one of the best...

And, if you want only... Message #3 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 27 May 2004, 2:32 a.m., in response to message #1 by Mike ... changing the number of digits after the separator (i.e., keeping current format), [DSP]n will do as a stand-alone operation. OR, if you want changing only the number format (i.e., keeping current number of digits after the separator), [IFX], [SCI] or [ENG] will do, as stand-alone keystrokes. I just wanted to add to Randy's explanation that the key sequences can be used separately. Success! Luiz (Brazil) Edited: 27 May 2004, 2:32 a.m.
