3-128 Full Command and Function Reference
PRLCD
Type: Command
Description: Print LCD Command: Prints a pixel-by-pixel image of the current display (excluding the
annunciators).
The width of the printed image of characters in the display is narrower using PRLCD than using
a print command such as PR1. The difference results from the spacing between characters. On
the display there is a single blank column between characters, and PRLCD prints this spacing.
Print commands such as PR1 print two blank columns between adjacent characters.
Access: …µ
PRLCD
Flags: I/O Device (-33), Printing Device (-34), Double-spaced Printing (-37), Linefeed (-38). Flag -38
must be clear. If flag -34 is set, flag -33 must be clear.
Input/Output: None

Description: Prompt Command: Displays the contents of “prompt” in the status area, and halts program
execution.

PROOT
Type: Command
Description: Polynomial Roots Command: Returns all roots of an n-degree polynomial having real or complex
coefficients.
For an n
th
-order polynomial, the argument must be a real or complex array of length n
+ 1
containing the coefficients listed from highest order to lowest. The result is a real or complex
vector of length n containing the computed roots.
PROOT interprets leading coefficients of zero in a limiting sense. As a leading coefficient
approaches zero, a root of the polynomial approaches infinity: therefore, if flag –22 is clear (the
default), PROOT reports an Infinite Result error if a leading coefficient is zero. If flag –22 is set,
PROOT returns a root of (MAXREAL,0) for each leading zero in an array containing real
coefficients, and a root of (MAXREAL,MAXREAL) for each leading zero in an array containing
complex coefficients.
Access: !Þ
POLYNOMIAL LLPROOT (Þis the left-shift of the 1key).
