Shortcut to toggle between standard and fix? Message #1 Posted by J.C. Boco on 4 Mar 2006, 4:33 p.m. Is tehre a way to toggle between standard display and fix (say 3 digits) display? I have this output and it's hard to read. I use the DET determinate function on ii j k 3 4 3 5 2 4 The result (I'm making it up) is say 1.235335653ii + 1.and then it runs off the screen. I want to see the j value and the k value. I figure if I can set it to 3 digit FIX, there is room to see everything. but it's a pain to do that, and almost equally painful to just enter edit mode and scroll to the right.

Message #5 Posted by Marcus von Cube, Germany on 9 Mar 2006, 2:23 a.m., in response to message #4 by J.C.Boco A simple approach could be a custom menu: {{"FIX3" << 3 FIX >>} STD} 'CST' STO> Pressing [left shift][mode] (custom) results in the display of two functions: [FIX3] and [STD] which activate two different display formats when pressed.

Prange (Michigan) on 9 Mar 2006, 7:14 p.m., in response to message #5 by Marcus von Cube, Germany Or a program like the following could be used to toggle between display modes. \<< IF -49. FS? THEN STD ELSE 3. FIX END \>> From FIX or ENG mode, this switches to STD mode, and from STD or ENG mode, it switches to 3 FIX mode. Use it in a custom menu, assign it to a user key, or just store it in a variable. Regards, James
