Special Calculator Buttons
The Calculator includes several buttons to help you perform calculations.
Calculator Menu Commands
The Calculator supports the Copy and Paste commands. You can use these commands to
copy a value from the Calculator and paste it into another application on your SPT 1500
terminal. Similarly, you can copy values from other applications on your SPT 1500 terminal,
such as Expense, and paste the values into the Calculator. For additional information on the
Copy and Paste commands, see Using Menus on page 2-17.
Recent Calculations
The Recent Calculations command enables you to review the last series of calculations, and
is particularly useful for confirming a series of “chain” calculations.
Clears the last number you entered. Use this button if you
make a mistake while entering a number in the middle of a
calculation. This button enables you to re-enter the number
without starting the calculation over.
Clears the entire calculation and enables you to begin a
fresh calculation.
Toggles the current number between a negative and
positive value. If you want to enter a negative number,
enter the number first and then press the +/- button.
Places the current number into Memory. Each
new number you enter with the M+ button is
added to the total already stored in memory. The number
that you add can be either a calculated value, or any
number you enter by pressing the number buttons. Pressing
this button has no effect on the current calculation (or
series of calculations); it merely places the value into
memory until it is recalled.
Recalls the stored value from memory and inserts it in the
current calculation.
Removes any value that is stored in the Calculator memory.
