100 Section 8: Program Branching and Controls
Flag 9. An overflow condition (described on page 61) automatically sets
flag 9. Flag 9 causes the display to blink or, if a program is running, waits
until execution is complete and then starts blinking the display.
Flag 9 may be cleared in three ways:
Press | " 9 (the common procedure for clearing flags).
Press −. This will only clear flag 9 and stop the blinking—it will
not clear the display.
Turn the calculator off. (Flag 9 is not cleared if the calculator turns
itself off.)
If you set flag 9 manually (F 9), it causes the display to blink
irrespective of the overflow status of the calculator. As usual, a program
will run to completion before the display starts blinking. Therefore, flag 9
can be used as a programming tool to provide a visual signal for a selected
condition.
