Viewing a Variable without Recalling It
The
º È
function shows you the contents of a variable without putting that
number in the X–register. The display is labeled for the variable, such as:


If the number is too large to fit completely in the display with its label, it is rounded
and the rightmost digits are dropped. (An exponent is displayed in full.) To see the
full mantissa, press
º Î
.
In Fraction–display mode (
¹ É
), part of the integer may be dropped. This
will be indicated by "…" at the left end of the integer. To see the full mantissa,
press
º Î
. The integer part is the portion to the left of the radix (

or

).
º È
is most often used in programming, but it is useful anytime you want to
view a variable's value without affecting the contents of the stack.
To cancel the VIEW display, press
~
or
Å
once.
Reviewing Variables in the VAR Catalog
The
¹ u
(memory) function provides information about memory:
 



where nn,nnn is the number of bytes of available memory.
Pressing the {

} menu key displays the catalog of variables.
Pressing the {

} menu key displays the catalog of programs.
To review the values at any or all non–zero variables:
1. Press
¹ u
{VAR}.
2. Press
Ø
or
×
to move the list and display the desired variable. (Note
the

annunciators, indicating that the
Ø
and
×
keys are active. If
Fraction–display mode is active,

does not indicate accuracy.)
To see all the significant digits of a number displayed in the {

} catalog,
press
º Î
. (If it is a binary number with more than 12 digits, use the
Ö
and
Õ
keys to see the rest.)
