Accuracy Indicators
The accuracy of a displayed fraction is indicated by the
S
and
T
annunciators at the top of the display. The calculator compares the value of
the fractional part of the internal 12–digit number with the value of the
displayed fraction:

If no indicator is lit, the fractional part of the internal 12–digit value
exactly matches the value of the displayed fraction.

If
T
is fit, the fractional part of the internal 12–digit value is slightly less
than the displayed fraction — the exact numerator is no more than 0.5
below the displayed numerator.
