WP 34S Displayformat

Hi Dieter,
thanks for your explanation.

Quote:2. If the number does not fit the display AND it is less than 10^–n, the display switches to SCI (or ENG if ENGOVR is set).

I didnt get the AND. My fault.

Quote:If I get you right, you want the SCI/ENG switch for ANY number that is below a certain threshold, e.g. below 0,01. So that for instance 0,00012345 is displayed as 1,2345 E–4 (or 123,45 E–6) although it would fit the display in FIX mode. I do not know how this could be accomplished.

Yes, that's what I want. My TI57 did it 35 years ago and I think every Casio or Sharp do so. When my students present me a result of 0,0001234kg or somethink like 1,45 * 10^0 meter, they are kidding me.

I can't believe it!
