How do you set to Double Precision mode for 34S? - zeno333 - 01-16-2017 02:10 AM How do you set the 34S to Double Precision mode...I know its probably in the documentation, but cant seem to find it. RE: How do you set to Double Precision mode for 34S? - Paul Dale - 01-16-2017 03:35 AM In the MODE catalogue. Press D and you'll get to DBLOFF, you want DBLON which is immediately below.

As usual: press ENTER or XEQ. Dieter RE: How do you set to Double Precision mode for 34S? - Paul Dale - 01-16-2017 08:25 AM Perhaps you need the manual - Pauli RE: How do you set to Double Precision mode for 34S? - Leonid - 01-16-2017 04:49 PM BTW there is no way to programmatically displays the 18 trailing digits in DP mode? RE: How do you set to Double Precision mode for 34S? - Paul Dale - 01-16-2017 09:37 PM I'm sure a program could be written to display the extra digits: To get the second 12 digits: set round to zero mode, round to 12 digits, subtract from the original number. Do this again to get the final 10 digits.

The round mode is set by the RM command which is part of the MODE menu. (01-16-2017 09:37 PM)Paul Dale Wrote: round to 12 digits, Round to 12 significant digits. This is accomplished by the RSD command that can be found in the X.FCN menu. (01-16-2017 09:37 PM)Paul Dale Wrote: subtract from the original number. Yes. ;-) So all in all it's a procedure like this: Code: RM 4 // set round mode to truncation Dieter |
