QuikRuler III 27
You can use the calculator to transform your measurements in various ways. For example,
suppose you are using a drawing to estimate the amount of carpeting that will be required
for an entire floor of an office building. You want to add 5 percent to the measurement, to
account for waste, mistakes and so on. You would follow these steps:
1. Measure the area where carpeting is required.
2. Click on the buttons.
3. Select the button to display the total.
You can also use the QuikRuler Menu numeric keypad as a traditional calculator to add,
subtract, multiply and divide numbers independently of your measurements. You can do
this at any time, even while you are using QuikRuler III functions.
Editing Data on the Display
QuikRuler III provides several ways of editing and correcting the data on the display.
