Section 4: Display Control 51
As indicated in the above examples, display rounding occurs on numbers with
more decimal places than the number specified by your mode setting. In i
mode, specifying seven or more digits to the right of the decimal point (i7,
8, or 9) will move rounding to the internally held decimal place that cannot be
displayed.

Keystrokes Display
´i7
1.234567 02
Rounding occurs at
seventh decimal digit;
display cannot show
seventh decimal digit in
i mode, so no
rounding occurs in the
display.
´i8
1.234567 02
Rounds to eighth
decimal digit. No change
in displayed decimal
digits.
´i9
1.234567 02
Rounds to ninth decimal
digit. No change in
displayed decimal digits.
Engineering Notation Display
^ (engineering) displays numbers in an engineering notation format which
operates the same as i notation format except:
• In engineering notation, the first significant digit is always present in the
display. The number key you press after ´^ specifies the number
of additional digits to which you want to round the display.
• Engineering notation shows all exponents in multiples of three.

If one or more trailing 9’s exist internally following the last digit allowed in the display
setting, rounding may be propagated in the displayed digits for i7 and 8 display
settings. For example, 1.00000094 in i7 will not cause rounding in the displayed
version of the number, but 1.00000095 (...95 to...99) in i7 will cause rounding in
the displayed digits.
