Input Screen
Input Screen
Loan Pro’s Input screen is used to enter data, perform
calculations, and move amounts to other applications.
The Screen
The screen is similar to a calculator’s keypad. The following
have similar functionality:
•
0 – 9
•
Decimal Point
•
Backspace (<--): backs up one digit at a time. This works for numbers that are currently
being entered, not for numbers recalled from the Main, Amortization or Summary screens.
•
CE/C: the first tap clears the current number in the display, the second tap clears the current
calculation.
•
+/– (sign): converts between positive number and negative number.
•
Math (+, –, x, ÷, =): performs standard mathematical functions.
•
Mem: Loan Pro offers a single memory location, which can be accessed from the mem
button. To store the current number to memory, choose M+ (note the Memory indicator in
the view window). To recall the number stored in memory, select MR. To clear the memory
location, choose MC. If you store a value to memory without clearing it first, you will add
the number in the view window to the number stored in memory. For instance, with 30
stored in memory and 5 showing in the view window, selecting M+ will change the value in
memory to 35.
Finally, there are two sets of menus in the Input screen: the Edit and Options menus. To access a
menu, tap the menu icon to the left of the Graffiti input area. The Edit menu consists of three
items:
•
Copy: copies the currently displayed number to the system clipboard. Use this to move data
to other applications, such as Infinity Softworks powerOne™ line of calculators. This copies
the entire number, not just the displayed decimal places.
•
Paste: pastes the current item in the system clipboard to the Input screen’s display.
•
Graffiti Help: displays help on drawing Graffiti characters.
The Options menu also contains three items:
•
Input Help: online help for Loan Pro Lite’s Input screen.
•
Keystroke Help: online help for using Graffiti to enter numbers.
•
About Loan Pro Lite: information about Loan Pro Lite and Infinity Softworks.
