To move the trace cursor to any valid T value on the current
function, enter the number. When you enter the first digit, a
T=
prompt and the number you entered are displayed in the bottom-
left corner of the screen. You can enter an expression at the
T=
prompt. The value must be valid for the current viewing
window. When you have completed the entry, press Í to
move the cursor.
ZOOM operations in Par graphing work the same as in Func
graphing. Only the X (Xmin, Xmax, and Xscl) and Y (Ymin,
Ymax, and Yscl) window variables are affected.
The T window variables (Tmin, Tmax, and Tstep) are only
affected when you select
ZStandard. The VARS ZOOM
secondary menu ZT/Zq items 1:ZTmin, 2:ZTmax, and 3:ZTstep
are the zoom memory variables for Par graphing.
CALC operations in Par graphing work the same as in Func
graphing. The CALCULATE menu items available in Par
graphing are 1:value, 2:dy/dx, 3:dy/dt, and 4:dx/dt.
