Engineering Format ({EN}). ENG format displays a number in a
manner similar to scientificnotation, but the exponent is a multiple of
three (and therefore there can be one, two, or three digits before the
decimal point). This is most useful for scientific and engineering cal
culations
that use units
specified
in
multiples
of
103
(such
as
micro-,
milli-,
and
kilo-units).
After the prompt,
ENG
_, specify the number of digits you want
after
the first significant digit. (The integer part will always be less than
1,000.) For 10 or 11 digits, press Q 0 or Q 1.
Digits after first significant digit Power of 10 (multiple of 3)

ALL Format
({RLL}).
ALL
format displays a number as preciselyas
possible (12 digits maximum). If not all digits fit in the display, the
number is automatically displayed in scientific format.

Changing the number of displayed decimal places affects what you
see, but it does not affect the internal representation of numbers. The
number stored internally always has 12 digits.
