I About this User’s Guide  
S Model-specific Function and Screen Differences  
This User’s Guide covers multiple different calculator models. Note that some of the functions  
described here may not be available on all of the models covered by this User’s Guide. All of  
the screen shots in this User’s Guide show the fx-9860Gɉ SD screen, and the appearance of  
the screens of other models may be slightly different.  
S Math natural input and display  
Under its initial default settings, the fx-9860Gɉ SD, fx-9860Gɉ, or fx-9860G AU PLUS  
is set up to use the “Math input/output mode”, which enables natural input and display of  
math expressions. This means you can input fractions, square roots, differentials, and other  
expressions just as they are written. In the “Math input/output mode”, most calculation results  
also are displayed using natural display.  
You also can select a “Linear input/output mode” if you like, for input and display of  
calculation expressions in a single line. The initial default setting of the fx-9860Gɉ SD, fx-  
9860Gɉ, and fx-9860G AU PLUS input/output mode is the Math input/output mode.  
The examples shown in this User’s Guide are mainly presented using the Linear input/output  
mode. Note the following points if you are using an fx-9860Gɉ SD, fx-9860Gɉ, or fx-9860G  
AU PLUS.  
• For information about switching between the Math input/output mode and Linear input/  
output mode, see the explanation of the “Input/Output” mode setting under “Using the Setup  
Screen” (page 1-26).  
• For information about input and display using the Math input/output mode, see “Using the  
Math Input/Output Mode” (page 1-10).  
S For owners of models not equipped with a Math input/output mode  
(fx-7400Gɉ, fx-9750Gɉ)...  
The fx-7400Gɉ and fx-9750Gɉ do not include a Math input/output mode. When performing  
the calculations in this manual on these models, use the linear input mode.  
fx-7400Gɉ and fx-9750Gɉ owners should ignore all explanations in this manual concerned  
with the Math input/output mode.  
S
V()  
The above indicates you should press

keys  through . The operation assigned to each function key changes according to  
v
the mode the calculator is in, and current operation assignments are indicated by function  
menus that appear at the bottom of the display.  
• This User’s Guide shows the current operation assigned to a function key in parentheses  
following the key cap for that key. (Comp), for example, indicates that pressing  
selects {Comp}, which is also indicated in the function menu.  
• When (E) is indicated in the function menu for key , it means that pressing  displays  
the next page or previous page of menu options.  
S Menu Titles  
• Menu titles in this User’s Guide include the key operation required to display the menu  
being explained. The key operation for a menu that is displayed by pressing * and then  
{LIST} would be shown as: [OPTN]-[LIST].  
(E) key operations to change to another menu page are not shown in menu title key  
operations.  
S Command List  
The PRGM Mode Command List (page 8-37) provides a graphic flowchart of the various  
function key menus and shows how to maneuver to the menu of commands you need.  
Example: The following operation displays Xfct: [VARS]-[FACT]-[Xfct]  
S E-CON2  
This manual does not cover the E-CON2 mode. For more information about the E-CON2

I Normal Display  
The calculator normally displays values up to 10 digits long. Values that exceed this limit are  
automatically converted to and displayed in exponential format.  
S How to interpret exponential format  
1.2E+12 indicates that the result is equivalent to 1.2 s 1012. This means that you should move  
the decimal point in 1.2 twelve places to the right, because the exponent is positive. This  
results in the value 1,200,000,000,000.  
1-4  
1.2E–03 indicates that the result is equivalent to 1.2 s 10–3. This means that you should move  
the decimal point in 1.2 three places to the left, because the exponent is negative. This results  
in the value 0.0012.  
You can specify one of two different ranges for automatic changeover to normal display.  
Norm 1 ................... 10–2 (0.01) > |x|, |x|  1010  
Norm 2 ................... 10–9 (0.000000001) > |x|, |x|  1010  
All of the examples in this manual show calculation results using Norm 1.  
See page 2-11 for details on switching between Norm 1 and Norm 2.  
I Special Display Formats  
This calculator uses special display formats to indicate fractions, hexadecimal values, and  
degrees/minutes/seconds values.  
S Fractions  
12  
.................... Indicates: 456  
23  
S Hexadecimal Values  
................... Indicates: 0ABCDEF1(16), which equals  
180150001(10)  
S Degrees/Minutes/Seconds  
.................... Indicates: 12° 34’ 56.78”  
• In addition to the above, this calculator also uses other indicators or symbols, which are  
described in each applicable section of this manual as they come up.

 AꢄBꢅCꢄ@?U  
1-5  
I Editing Calculations  
Use the B and C keys to move the cursor to the position you want to change, and then  
perform one of the operations described below. After you edit the calculation, you can execute  
it by pressing U. Or you can use C to move to the end of the calculation and input more.  
• You can select either insert or overwrite for input*1. With overwrite, text you input replaces  
the text at the current cursor location. You can toggle between insert and overwrite by  
performing the operation:  
overwrite.  
#(INS). The cursor appears as “ ” for insert and as “ ” for  
*1 With all models except the fx-7400Gɉ/fx-9750Gɉ, insert and overwrite switzng is possible  
only when the Linear input/output mode (page 1-29) is selected.

I Using Replay Memory  
The last calculation performed is always stored into replay memory. You can recall the  
contents of the replay memory by pressing B or C.  
If you press C, the calculation appears with the cursor at the beginning. Pressing B causes  
the calculation to appear with the cursor at the end. You can make changes in the calculation  
as you wish and then execute it again.  
• Replay memory is enabled in the Linear input/output mode only. In the Math input/output  
mode, the history function is used in place of replay memory. For details, see “History  
Function” (page 1-17).  
Example 1  
To perform the following two calculations  
4.12 s 6.4 = 26.368  
4.12 s 7.1 = 29.252

BBBB  
#(INS)  
EꢆCU  
Fꢆ@  
U
After you press  , you can press D or A to recall previous calculations, in sequence from  
the newest to the oldest (Multi-Replay Function). Once you recall a calculation, you can use  
C and B to move the cursor around the calculation and make changes in it to create a new  
calculation.  
Example 2  
 @ABꢄCDEU  
ABCꢅDEFU  
 
D (One calculation back)  
D (Two calculations back)  
• A calculation remains stored in replay memory until you perform another calculation.  
• The contents of replay memory are not cleared when you press the   key, so you can  
recall a calculation and execute it even after pressing the   key.  
I Making Corrections in the Original Calculation

4. Using the Math Input/Output Mode  
Important!  
• The fx-7400Gɉ and fx-9750Gɉ are not equipped with a Math input/output mode.  
Selecting “Math” for the “Input/Output” mode setting on the Setup screen (page 1-29) turns on  
the Math input/output mode, which allows natural input and display of certain functions, just as  
they appear in your textbook.  
• The operations in this section all are performed in the Math input/output mode.  
- The initial default setting for the fx-9860Gɉ SD/fx-9860Gɉ/fx-9860G AU PLUS is the Math  
input/output mode. If you have changed to the Linear input/output mode, switch back to the  
Math input/output mode before performing the operations in this section. See “Using the  
Setup Screen” (page 1-26) for information about how to switch modes.  
- The initial default setting for the fx-9860G Slim/fx-9860G SD/fx-9860G/fx-9860G AU is  
the Linear input/output mode. Switch to the Math input/output mode before performing the  
operations in this section. See “Using the Setup Screen” (page 1-26) for information about  
how to switch modes.  
• In the Math input/output mode, all input is insert mode (not overwrite mode) input. Note that  
the  
#(INS) operation (page 1-6) you use in the Linear input/output mode to switch to  
insert mode input performs a completely different function in the Math input/output mode. For  
more information, see “Using Values and Expressions as Arguments” (page 1-14).  
1-10  
• Unless specifically stated otherwise, all operations in this section are performed in the  
RUNMAT mode.

S When the calculation does not fit within the display window  
Arrows appear at the left, right, top, or bottom edge of the  
display to let you know when there is more of the  
calculation off the screen in the corresponding direction.  
When you see an arrow, you can use the cursor keys to  
scroll the screen contents and view the part you want.  
S Math Input/Output Mode Input Restrictions  
Certain types of expressions can cause the vertical width of a calculation formula to be greater  
than one display line. The maximum allowable vertical width of a calculation formula is about  
two display screens (120 dots). You cannot input any expression that exceeds this limitation.  
S Using Values and Expressions as Arguments  
A value or an expression that you have already input can be used as the argument of a  
function. After you have input “(2+3)”, for example, you can make it the argument of ,  
resulting in  
.
(2+3)  
Example  
1. Move the cursor so it is located directly to the left of the part of the expression that you want  
to become the argument of the function you will insert.  
2. Press  
#(INS).  
• This changes the cursor to an insert cursor ().  
3. Press  
V() to insert the function.  
• This inserts the function and makes the parenthetical expression its argument.  
As shown above, the value or expression to the right of the cursor after  
#(INS) are  
pressed becomes the argument of the function that is specified next. The range encompassed  
as the argument is everything up to the first open parenthesis to the right, if there is one, or  
everything up to the first function to the right (sin(30), log2(4), etc.).

S Editing Calculations in the Math Input/Output Mode  
The procedures for editing calculations in the Math input/output mode are basically the same  
as those for the Linear input/output mode. For more information, see “Editing Calculations”  
(page 1-6).  
Note however, that the following points are different between the Math input/output mode and  
the Linear input/output mode.  
• Overwrite mode input that is available in the Linear input/output mode is not supported by  
the Math input/output mode. In the Math input/output mode, input is always inserted at the  
current cursor location.  
• In the Math input/output mode, pressing the # key always performs a backspace operation.  
• Note the following cursor operations you can use while inputting a calculation with Math  
input/output mode.  
To do this:  
Press this key:  
Move the cursor from the end of the calculation to the beginning  
Move the cursor from the beginning of the calculation to the end

I Using Undoing and Redoing Operations  
You can use the following procedures during calculation expression input in the Math input/  
output mode (up until you press the U key) to undo the last key operation and to redo the  
key operation you have just undone.  
- To undo the last key operation, press: ?#(UNDO).  
- To redo a key operation you have just undone, press: ?#(UNDO) again.  
• You also can use UNDO to cancel an   key operation. After pressing   to clear an  
expression you have input, pressing ?#(UNDO) will restore what was on the display  
before you pressed  .  
• You also can use UNDO to cancel a cursor key operation. If you press C during input and  
then press ?#(UNDO), the cursor will return to where it was before you pressed C.  
• The UNDO operation is disabled while the keyboard is alpha-locked. Pressing  
?#(UNDO) while the keyboard is alpha-locked will perform the same delete operation  
as the # key alone.  
Example  
@ꢄ6@C  
#
?#(UNDO)  
A
 
?#(UNDO)  
I Math Input/Output Mode Calculation Result Display  
Fractions, matrices, and lists produced by Math input/output mode calculations are displayed  
in natural format, just as they appear in your textbook.  
Sample Calculation Result Displays  
• Fractions are displayed either as improper fractions or mixed fractions, depending on the  
“Frac Result” setting on the Setup screen. For details, see “Using the Setup Screen” (page  
1-26).  
1-16  
• Matrices are displayed in natural format, up to 6 × 6. A matrix that has more than six rows or  
columns will be displayed on a MatAns screen, which is the same screen used in the Linear  
input/output mode.  
• Lists are displayed in natural format for up to 20 elements. A list that has more than 20  
elements will be displayed on a ListAns screen, which is the same screen used in the Linear  
input/output mode.  
• Arrows appear at the left, right, top, or bottom edge of the display to let you know when there  
is more data off the screen in the corresponding direction.  
You can use the cursor keys to scroll the screen and view the data you want.  
• Pressing (DEL)(DEL L) while a calculation result is selected will delete both the result  
and the calculation that produced it.  
• The multiplication sign cannot be omitted immediately before an improper fraction or mixed  
fraction. Be sure to always input a multiplication sign in this case.

Example: (32)–1  
ꢉBV  
(x )  
I History Function  
The history function maintains a history of calculation expressions and results in the Math  
input/output mode. Up to 30 sets of calculation expressions and results are maintained.  
@ꢄAU  
AU  
You can also edit the calculation expressions that are maintained by the history function and  
recalculate. This will recalculate all of the expressions starting from the edited expression.  
Example  
To change “1+2” to “1+3” and recalculate  
Perform the following operation following the sample shown above.  
DDDDB#BU  
1-17  
• The value stored in the answer memory is always dependent on the result produced by  
the last calculation performed. If history contents include operations that use the answer  
memory, editing a calculation may affect the answer memory value used in subsequent  
calculations.  
- If you have a series of calculations that use the answer memory to include the result of the  
previous calculation in the next calculation, editing a calculation will affect the results of all  
the other calculations that come after it.  
- When the first calculation of the history includes the answer memory contents, the answer  
memory value is “0” because there is no calculation before the first one in history.  
I Using the Clipboard for Copy and Paste in the Math Input/Output Mode  
You can copy a function, command, or other input to the clipboard, and then paste the  
clipboard contents at another location.  
• In the Math input/output mode, you can specify only one line as the copy range.  
• The CUT operation is supported for the Linear input/output mode only. It is not supported for  
the Math input/output mode.  
S To copy text  
1. Use the cursor keys to move the cursor to the line you want to copy.  
2. Press  
G(CLIP). The cursor will change to “ ”.  
3. Press (CPY·L) to copy the highlighted text to the clipboard.  
S To paste text  
Move the cursor to the location where you want to paste the text, and then press  
H(PASTE). The contents of the clipboard are pasted at the cursor position.

I Restart and Reset  
S Restart  
Should the calculator start to act abnormally, you can restart it by pressing the RESTART  
button (P button). Note, however, that you should only use the RESTART button only as a last  
resort. Normally, pressing the RESTART button reboots the calculator’s operating system, so  
programs, graph functions and other data in calculator memory is retained.

Important!  
The calculator backs up user data (main memory) when you turn power off and loads the  
backed up data when you turn power back on.  
When you press the RESTART button, the calculator restarts and loads backed up data.  
This means that if you press the RESTART button after you edit a program, graph function, or  
other data, any data that has not been backed up will be lost.  
S Reset  
Use reset when you want to delete all data currently in calculator memory and return all mode  
settings to their initial defaults.  
Before performing the reset operation, first make a written copy of all important data.  
For details, see “Reset” (page 12-3).  
I Low Battery Message  
If the following message appears on the display, immediately turn off the calculator and  
replace batteries as instructed.  
If you continue using the calculator without replacing batteries, power will automatically turn  
off to protect memory contents. Once this happens, you will not be able to turn power back on,  
and there is the danger that memory contents will be corrupted or lost entirely.  
• You will not be able to perform data communications operations after the low battery  
message appears.

• Enter arithmetic calculations as they are written, from left to right.  
• Use the  key to input the minus sign before a negative value.  
• Calculations are performed internally with a 15-digit mantissa. The result is rounded to a 10-  
digit mantissa before it is displayed.  
• For mixed arithmetic calculations, multiplication and division are given priority over addition  
and subtraction.

• Even after you specify the number of decimal places or the number of significant digits,  
internal calculations are still performed using a 15-digit mantissa, and displayed values are  
stored with a 10-digit mantissa. Use Rnd of the Numeric Calculation Menu (NUM) (page  
2-12) to round the displayed value off to the number of decimal place and significant digit  
settings.  
• Number of decimal place (Fix) and significant digit (Sci) settings normally remain in effect

message to appear on the display. Further operation of the calculator is impossible while an  
error message is displayed. For details, see the “Error Message Table” on page A-1.  
• Most of the calculator’s keys are inoperative while an error message is displayed. Press )  
to clear the error and return to normal operation.  
I Memory Capacity  
Each time you press a key, either one byte or two bytes is used. Some of the functions that  
require one byte are: @, A, B, sin, cos, tan, log, In, , and P.  
Some of the functions that take up two bytes are d/dx(, Mat, Xmin, If, For, Return, DrawGraph,  
SortA(, PxIOn, Sum, and an .  
+1  
• The required number of bytes to input functions and commands is different in the Linear  
input/output mode and the Math input/output mode. For details about the number of bytes  
required for each function in the Math input/output mode, see page 1-11.

I Memory  
S Variables (Alpha Memory)  
This calculator comes with 28 variables as standard.You can use variables to store values you  
want to use inside of calculations. Variables are identified by single-letter names, which are  
made up of the 26 letters of the alphabet, plus r and Q. The maximum size of values that you  
can assign to variables is 15 digits for the mantissa and 2 digits for the exponent.  
• Variable contents are retained even when you turn power off.  
S To assign a value to a variable  
[value] ? [variable name] U  
Example 1  
To assign 123 to variable A  
 @AB??T(A)U  
2-6  
Example 2  
To add 456 to variable A and store the result in variable B  
 ?T(A)ꢄCDE?  
?J(B)U  
S To assign the same value to more than one variable  
[value]? [first variable name]?ꢅ(~) [last variable name]U  
You cannot use “r” or “Q” as a variable name.  
Example  
To assign a value of 10 to variables A through F  
 @???T(A)  
?ꢅ(~)?R(F)U  
S String Memory  
You can store up to 20 strings (named Str 1 to Str 20) in string memory. Stored strings can be  
output to the display or used inside functions and commands that support the use of strings as  
arguments.  
For details about string operations, see “Strings” (page 8-18).  
Example  
To assign string “ABC” to Str 1 and then output Str 1 to the display  
?( A -LOCK)$(”)T(A)  
 
J(B)((C)$(”)?(Releases Alpha Lock.)  
?)(E)(Str)*@U  
(Str)*@U  
* fx-7400GII: (Str)  
String is displayed justified left.  
• Perform the above operation in the Linear input/output mode. It cannot be performed in the  
Math input/output mode.  
S Function Memory  
[OPTN]-[FMEM]  
Function memory is convenient for temporary storage of often-used expressions. For longer  
term storage, we recommend that you use the GRAPH mode for expressions and the PRGM  
mode for programs.  
• {STO}/{RCL}/{fn}/{SEE} ... {function store}/{function recall}/{function area specification as a  
variable name inside an expression}/{function list}  
2-7  
S To store a function  
Example  
To store the function (A+B) (A–B) as function memory number 1  
?T(A)?J(B)  
?T(A)?J(B)  
*(E)(E)(FMEM)*  
(STO)@U  
* fx-7400GII: (FMEM)  
)))  
• If the function memory number to which you store a function already contains a function, the  
previous function is replaced with the new one.  
You can also use ? to store a function in function  
memory in a program. In this case, you must enclose the  
function inside of double quotation marks.  
S To recall a function  
Example  
To recall the contents of function memory number 1  
 *(E)(E)(FMEM)*  
(RCL)@U  
* fx-7400GII: (FMEM)  
• The recalled function appears at the current location of the cursor on the display.  
S To recall a function as a variable  
 B??T(A)U  
@??J(B)U  
*(E)(E)(FMEM)*(fn)  
@ꢄAU  
* fx-7400GII: (FMEM)  
S To display a list of available functions  
*(E)(E)(FMEM)*

S To delete a function  
Example  
To delete the contents of function memory number 1  
 
*(E)(E)(FMEM)*  
(STO)@U  
* fx-7400GII: (FMEM)  
• Executing the store operation while the display is blank deletes the function in the function  
memory you specify.  
I Answer Function  
The Answer Function automatically stores the last result you calculated by pressing  
U (unless the U key operation results in an error). The result is stored in the answer  
memory.  
• The largest value that the answer memory can hold is 15 digits for the mantissa and 2 digits  
for the exponent.  
• Answer memory contents are not cleared when you press the   key or when you switch  
power off.  
S To use the contents of the answer memory in a calculation  
Example  
123 + 456 = 579  
789 – 579 = 210  
 @ABꢄCDEU  
FGHꢅ  
(Ans)U  
fx-7400GII, fx-9750GII users...  
• The answer memory contents are not changed by an operation that assigns values to Alpha  
memory (such as: D??J(B)U).  
fx-9860GII SD, fx-9860GII, fx-9860G AU PLUS, fx-9860G Slim users...  
• In the Math input/output mode, the operation to recall answer memory contents is different  
from the operation in the Linear input/output mode. For details, see “History Function” (page  
1-17).  
• Performing an operation that assigns a value to an Alpha memory (such as  
D??J(B)U), answer memory contents are updated in the Math input/output mode  
but not in the Linear input/output mode.  
2-9  
I Performing Continuous Calculations  
Answer memory also lets you use the result of one calculation as one of the arguments in the  
next calculation.  
Example  
1 w 3 =  
1 w 3 s 3 =  
 @ꢇBU  
(Continuing)

I Simplification  
[OPTN]-[CALC]-[Simp]  
The “Simp” function can be used to simplify fractions manually. The following operations can  
be used to perform simplification when an unsimplified calculation result is on the display.  
• {Simp} U ... This function automatically simplifies the displayed calculation result using the  
smallest prime number available. The prime number used and the simplified result are  
shown on the display.  
• {Simp} n U ... This function performs simplification according to the specified divisor n.  
2-21  
Under initial default settings, this calculator automatically simplifies fraction calculation results  
before displaying them. Before performing the following examples, use the Setup screen to  
change the “Simplify” setting from “Auto” to “Manual” (page 1-29).  
• When “a+bi” or “rQ” is specified for the Setup screen “Complex Mode” setting, fraction  
calculation results always are simplified before being displayed, even if the “Simplify” setting  
is “Manual”.

I Solve Calculations  
[OPTN]-[CALC]-[Solve]  
The following is the syntax for using the Solve function in a program.  
Solve( f(x), n, a, b)  
(a: lower limit, b: upper limit, n: initial estimated value)  
There are two different input methods that can be used for Solve calculations: direct  
assignment and variable table input.  
With the direct assignment method (the one described here), you assign values directly to  
variables. This type of input is identical to that used with the Solve command used in the  
PRGM mode.  
2-22  
Variable table input is used with the Solve function in the EQUA mode. This input method is  
recommended for most normal Solve function input.  
An error (Time Out) occurs when there is no convergence of the solution.  
For information about Solve calculations, see page 4-4.  
You cannot use a quadratic differential, 3, maximum/minimum value or Solve calculation  
expression inside of any of the above functions.  
• Pressing   during calculation of Solve (while the cursor is not shown on the display)  
interrupts the calculation.  
I Solving an f(x) Function  
[OPTN]-[CALC]-[SolvN]  
You can use SolvN to solve an f(x) function using numerical analysis. The following is the input  
syntax.  
SolveN (left side [=right side] [,variable] [, lower limit, upper limit])  
• The right side, variable, lower limit and upper limit all can be omitted.  
• “left side[=right side]” is the expression to be solved. Supported variables are A through Z, r,  
and Q. When the right side is omitted, solution is perform using right side = 0.  
• The variable specifies the variable within the expression to be solved for (A through Z, r, Q).  
Omitting a variable specification cause X to be used as the variable.  
• The lower limit and upper limit specify the range of the solution.You can input a value or an  
expression as the range.  
• The following functions cannot be used within any of the arguments.

Solve(, d /dx , FMin(, FMax(, 3(  
Up to 10 calculation results can be displayed simultaneously in ListAns format.  
• The message “No Solution” is displayed if no solution exists.  
• The message “More solutions may exist.is displayed when there may be solutions other  
than those displayed by SolvN.

Input the tolerance value.  
@$ꢆDꢈU  
Using Differential Calculation in a Graph Function  
• Omitting the tolerance (tol) value when using the differential command inside of a graph  
function simplifies the calculation for drawing the graph. In such a case, precision is  
sacrificed for the sake of faster drawing. The tolerance value is specified, the graph is drawn  
with the same precision obtained when you normally perform a differential calculation.  
You can also omit input of the derivative point by using the following format for the differential  
graph:Y2=d/dx(Y1). In this case, the value of the X variable is used as the derivative point.  
Differential Calculation Precautions  
• In the function f(x), only X can be used as a variable in expressions. Other variables  
(A through Z excluding X, r, Ƨ) are treated as constants, and the value currently assigned to  
that variable is applied during the calculation.  
• Input of the tolerance (tol) value and the closing parenthesis can be omitted. If you omit  
tolerance (tol) value, the calculator automatically uses a value for tol as 1E–10.  
• Specify a tolerance (tol) value of 1E–14 or greater. An error (Time Out) occurs whenever no  
solution that satisfies the tolerance value can be obtained.  
• Pressing   during calculation of a differential (while the cursor is not shown on the display)  
interrupts the calculation.  
2-24  
• Inaccurate results and errors can be caused by the following:  
- discontinuous points in x values  
- extreme changes in x values  
- inclusion of the local maximum point and local minimum point in x values  
- inclusion of the inflection point in x values  
- inclusion of undifferentiable points in x values  
- differential calculation results approaching zero  
• Always use radians (Rad mode) as the angle unit when performing trigonometric differentials.  
You cannot use a differential, quadratic differential, integration, 3, maximum/minimum value,  
Solve, RndFix or logab calculation expression inside a differential calculation term.  
• In the Math input/output mode, the tolerance value is fixed at 1E–10 and cannot be changed.

Quadratic differential calculations produce an approximate differential value using the following  
second order differential formula, which is based on Newton’s polynomial interpretation.  
2 f(a + 3h) – 27 f(a + 2h) + 270 f(a + h) – 490 f(a) + 270 f(a h) – 27 f(a –2h) + 2 f(a – 3h)  
f ''(a) =

• Input of the tolerance (tol) value and the closing parenthesis can be omitted.  
• Specify a tolerance (tol) value of 1E–14 or greater. An error (Time Out) occurs whenever no  
solution that satisfies the tolerance value can be obtained.  
• The rules that apply for linear differential also apply when using a quadratic differential  
calculation for the graph formula (see page 2-24).  
• Inaccurate results and errors can be caused by the following:  
- discontinuous points in x values  
- extreme changes in x values  
- inclusion of the local maximum point and local minimum point in x values  
- inclusion of the inflection point in x values  
- inclusion of undifferentiable points in x values  
- differential calculation results approaching zero  
You can interrupt an ongoing quadratic differential calculation by pressing the   key.  
• Always use radians (Rad mode) as the angle unit when performing trigonometric quadratic  
differentials.  
You cannot use a differential, quadratic differential, integration, 3, maximum/minimum value,  
Solve, RndFix or logab calculation expression inside of a quadratic differential calculation  
term.  
• With quadratic differential calculation, calculation precision is up to five digits for the  
mantissa.  
• In the Math input/output mode, the tolerance value is fixed at 1E–10 and cannot be changed.

You can use only one variable in the function for input sequence ak  
.
• Input integers only for the initial term (A) of sequence ak and last term (B) of sequence ak  
.
• Input of n and the closing parentheses can be omitted. If you omit n, the calculator  
automatically uses n = 1.  
• Make sure that the value used as the final term B is greater than the value used as the initial  
term A. Otherwise, an error will occur.  
To interrupt an ongoing 3 calculation (indicated when the cursor is not on the display), press

• In the function f(x), only X can be used as a variable in expressions. Other variables (A  
through Z excluding X, r, Ƨ) are treated as constants, and the value currently assigned to  
that variable is applied during the calculation.  
• Input of n and the closing parenthesis can be omitted.  
• Discontinuous points or sections with drastic fluctuation can adversely affect precision or  
even cause an error.  
• Inputting a larger value for n increases the precision of the calculation, but it also increases  
the amount of time required to perform the calculation.  
• The value you input for the end point of the interval (b) must be greater than the value you  
input for the start point (a). Otherwise an error occurs.  
You can interrupt an ongoing maximum/minimum calculation by pressing the   key.  
You can input an integer in the range of 1 to 9 for the value of n. Using any value outside this  
range causes an error.  
You cannot use a differential, quadratic differential, integration, 3, maximum/minimum value,  
Solve, RndFix or logab calculation expression inside of a maximum/minimum calculation  
term.

Calculations with Integers  
You can use the RUN • MAT (or RUN) mode and binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal  
settings to perform calculations that involve binary, octal, decimal and hexadecimal values.You  
can also convert between number systems and perform bitwise operations.  
You cannot use scientific functions in binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal calculations.  
You can use only integers in binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal calculations, which  
means that fractional values are not allowed. If you input a value that includes a decimal part,  
the calculator automatically cuts off the decimal part.  
• If you attempt to enter a value that is invalid for the number system (binary, octal, decimal,  
hexadecimal) you are using, the calculator displays an error message. The following shows  
the numerals that can be used in each number system.  
Binary: 0, 1

Note, however, that “a+bi” and “rQ” cannot be used in the Linear input/output mode.  
Matrix Calculation Precautions  
• Determinants and inverse matrices are subject to error due to dropped digits.  
• Matrix operations are performed individually on each cell, so calculations may require  
considerable time to complete.  
• The calculation precision of displayed results for matrix calculations is p1 at the least  
significant digit.  
• If a matrix calculation result is too large to fit into Matrix Answer Memory, an error occurs.  
You can use the following operation to transfer Matrix Answer Memory contents to another  
matrix (or when Matrix Answer Memory contains a determinant to a variable).  
MatAns m Mat A  
In the above, A is any variable name A through Z. The above does not affect the contents of  
Matrix Answer Memory.  
9. Metric Conversion Calculations

command 2} to specify the unit being converted to.  
 is a command that links the two conversion commands. This command is always available  
at () of the Conversion menu.  
• Real numbers or a list that contains real number elements only can be used as the value  
being converted from. When values being converted from are input into a list (or when list  
memory is specified), conversion calculation is performed for each element in the list and  
calculation results are returned in list format (ListAns screen).  
• A complex number cannot be used as a value to be converted from. An error occurs if even  
a single element of a list being used as the value being converted from contains a complex  
number.

1. Inputting and Editing a List  
When you enter the STAT mode, the “List Editor” will appear first.You can use the List Editor to  
input data into a list and to perform a variety of other list data operations.  
S To input values one-by-one  
Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the list  
name, sub name or cell you want to select. Note that A  
does not move the highlighting to a cell that does not  
contain a value.  
The screen automatically scrolls when the highlighting is located at either edge of the screen.  
The following example is performed starting with the highlighting located at Cell 1 of List 1.  
1. Input a value and press U to store it in the list.  
BU  
• The highlighting automatically moves down to the next  
cell for input.  
2. Input the value 4 in the second cell, and then input the  
result of 2 + 3 in the next cell.  
CUAꢄBU  
You can also input the result of an expression or a complex number into a cell.  
You can input values up to 999 cells in a single list.  
3-1  
S To batch input a series of values  
1. Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to another  
list.  
2. Press  
pressing  between each one. Press  
inputting the final value.  
( { ), and then input the values you want,  
( } ) after  
( { )EꢊFꢊG  
( } )  
3. Press U to store all of the values in your list.  
U
• Remember that a comma separates values, so you should not input a comma after the final  
value of the set you are inputting.  
Right: {34, 53, 78}  
Wrong: {34, 53, 78,}  
You can also use list names inside of a mathematical expression to input values into another  
cell. The following example shows how to add the values in each row in List 1 and List 2, and  
input the result into List 3.  
1. Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the name  
of the list where you want the calculation results to be  
input.  
2. Press * and input the expression.  
*(LIST)(List)@ꢄ  
*(LIST)(List)AU  
You can also use  
@(List) in place of *(LIST)(List).  
I Editing List Values  
S To change a cell value  
Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the cell whose value you want to change. Input  
the new value and press U to replace the old data with the new one.  
S To edit the contents of a cell  
1. Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the cell whose contents you want to edit.  
2. Press (E)(EDIT).  
3. Make any changes in the data you want.  
3-2  
S To delete a cell  
1. Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the cell you want to delete.  
2. Press (E)(DEL) to delete the selected cell and cause everything below it to be shifted  
up.  
• The cell delete operation does not affect cells in other lists. If the data in the list whose cell  
you delete is somehow related to the data in neighboring lists, deleting a cell can cause  
related values to become misaligned.  
S To delete all cells in a list  
Use the following procedure to delete all the data in a list.  
1. Use the cursor key to move the highlighting to any cell of the list whose data you want to  
delete.  
2. Pressing (E)(DEL A) causes a confirmation message to appear.  
3. Press (Yes) to delete all the cells in the selected list or (No) to abort the delete  
operation without deleting anything.  
S To insert a new cell  
1. Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the location where you want to insert the  
new cell.  
2. Press (E)(INS) to insert a new cell, which contains a value of 0, causing everything  
below it to be shifted down.  
• The cell insert operation does not affect cells in other lists. If the data in the list where you  
insert a cell is somehow related to the data in neighboring lists, inserting a cell can cause  
related values to become misaligned.  
I Naming a List  
You can assign List 1 through List 26 “sub names” of up to eight bytes each.  
S To name a list  
1. On the Setup screen, highlight “Sub Name” and then press (On)).  
2. Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the SUB cell of the list you want to name.  
3-3  
3. Type in the name and then press U.  
To type in a name using alpha characters, press  
mode.  
? to enter the ALPHA-LOCK  
Example:YEAR  
(Y)A(E)T(A)E(R)U  
• The following operation displays a sub name in the RUN • MAT (or RUN) mode.  
@(List) n ( [ )? ( ] )U  
(n = list number from 1 to 26)  
• Though you can input up to 8 bytes for the sub name, only the characters that can fit within  
the List Editor cell will be displayed.  
• The List Editor SUB cell is not displayed when “Off” is selected for “Sub Name” on the Setup  
screen.  
I Sorting List Values  
You can sort lists into either ascending or descending order. The highlighting can be located in  
any cell of the list.  
S To sort a single list  
Ascending order  
1. While the lists are on the screen, press (E)(TOOL)(SRT A).  
2. The prompt “How Many Lists?:” appears to ask how many lists you want to sort. Here we will  
input 1 to indicate we want to sort only one list.  
@U  
3. In response to the “Select List List No:” prompt, input the number of the list you want to sort.  
@U  
Descending order  
Use the same procedure as that for the ascending order sort. The only difference is that you  
should press (SRT D) in place of (SRT A).  
S To sort multiple lists  
You can link multiple lists together for a sort so that all of their cells are rearranged in  
accordance with the sorting of a base list. The base list is sorted into either ascending  
order or descending order, while the cells of the linked lists are arranged so that the relative  
relationship of all the rows is maintained.  
3-4  
Ascending order  
1. While the lists are on the screen, press (E)(TOOL)(SRT A).  
2. The prompt “How Many Lists?:” appears to ask how many lists you want to sort. Here we will  
sort one base list linked to one other list, so we should input 2.  
AU  
3. In response to the “Select Base List List No:” prompt, input the number of the list you want  
to sort into ascending order. Here we will specify List 1.  
@U  
4. In response to the “Select Second List List No:” prompt, input the number of the list you  
want to link to the base list. Here we will specify List 2.  
AU  
Descending order  
Use the same procedure as that for the ascending order sort. The only difference is that you  
should press (SRT D) in place of (SRT A).  
You can specify a value from 1 to 6 as the number of lists for sorting.  
• If you specify a list more than once for a single sort operation, an error occurs.  
An error also occurs if lists specified for sorting do not have the same number of values  
(rows).  
2. Manipulating List Data  
List data can be used in arithmetic and function calculations. In addition, various list data  
manipulation functions make manipulation of list data quick and easy.  
You can use list data manipulation functions in the RUN • MAT (or RUN), STAT, TABLE,  
EQUA and PRGM modes.  
I Accessing the List Data Manipulation Function Menu  
All of the following examples are performed after entering the RUN • MAT (or RUN) mode.  
Press * and then (LIST) to display the list data manipulation menu, which contains the  
following items.  
{List}/{LmM}/{Dim}/{Fill}/{Seq}/{Min}/{Max}/{Mean}/{Med}/{Aug}/{Sum}/{Prod}/{Cuml}/  
{%}/{ }  
Note that all closing parentheses at the end of the following operations can be omitted.  
S To transfer list contents to Matrix Answer Memory  
[OPTN]-[LIST]-[LmM]  
(Not included on the fx-7400GII)  
*(LIST)(LmM)(List) <list number 1-26> (List) <list number 1-26> ...  
(List) <list number 1-26> U  
You can skip input (List) in the part of the above operation.  
• All the lists must contain the same number of data items. If they don’t, an error occurs.  
Example: List m Mat (1, 2)U  
3-5  
Example  
To transfer the contents of List 1 (2, 3, 6, 5, 4) to column 1, and the  
contents of List 2 (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) to column 2 of Matrix Answer  
Memory  
 *(LIST)(LmM)  
(List)@ꢊ(List)AꢈU  
S To count the number of data items in a list  
*(LIST)(Dim)(List) <list number 1 - 26> U  
• The number of cells a list contains is its “dimension.”  
[OPTN]-[LIST]-[Dim]  
Example  
To count the number of values in List 1 (36, 16, 58, 46, 56)  
 *(LIST)(Dim)  
(List)@U  
S To create a list by specifying the number of data items  
[OPTN]-[LIST]-[Dim]  
Use the following procedure to specify the number of data in the assignment statement and  
create a list.  
<number of data n> ?*(LIST)(Dim)(List) <list number 1 - 26> U (n = 1 - 999)  
Example  
To create five data items (each of which contains 0) in List 1  
 D?*(LIST)(Dim)  
(List)@U  
You can view the newly created list by entering the STAT  
mode.  
S To replace all data items with the same value  
[OPTN]-[LIST]-[Fill]  
*(LIST)(Fill) <value> (List) <list number 1 - 26> U  
Example  
To replace all data items in List 1 with the number 3  
 *(LIST)(Fill)  
Bꢊ(List)@ꢈU  
The following shows the new contents of List 1.  
3-6  
S To generate a sequence of numbers  
[OPTN]-[LIST]-[Seq]  
*(LIST)(Seq) <expression>  <variable name>  <start value>  <end value>  
 <increment> U  
• The result of this operation is stored in ListAns Memory.  
Example  
To input the number sequence 12, 62, 112, into a list, using the function  
f(x) = X2. Use a starting value of 1, an ending value of 11, and an  
increment of 5.  
 *(LIST)(Seq)TV  
Tꢊ@ꢊ@@ꢊDꢈU  
Specifying an ending value of 12, 13, 14, or 15 produces the same result as shown above  
since they are less than the value produced by the next increment (16).  
S To find the minimum value in a list  
[OPTN]-[LIST]-[Min]  
*(LIST)(E)(Min)(E)(E)(List) <list number 1 - 26> U  
Example

3-7  
S To calculate the median of data items of specified frequency  
[OPTN]-[LIST]-[Med]  
This procedure uses two lists: one that contains values and one that indicates the frequency  
(number of occurrences) of each value. The frequency of the data in Cell 1 of the first list is  
indicated by the value in Cell 1 of the second list, etc.  
• The two lists must contain the same number of data items. If they don’t, an error occurs.  
*(LIST)(E)(Med)(E)(E)(List) <list number 1 - 26 (data)> (List)  
<list number 1 - 26 (frequency)> U  
Example  
To calculate the median of values in List 1 (36, 16, 58, 46, 56), whose  
frequency is indicated by List 2 (75, 89, 98, 72, 67)  
 *(LIST)(E)(Med)  
(E)(E)(List)@ꢊ  
(List)AꢈU  
S To combine lists  
[OPTN]-[LIST]-[Aug]  
You can combine two different lists into a single list. The result of a list combination operation  
is stored in ListAns memory.  
*(LIST)(E)(Aug)(E)(E)(List) <list number 1 - 26> (List)

I Error Messages  
• A calculation involving two lists performs the operation between corresponding cells.  
Because of this, an error occurs if the two lists do not have the same number of values  
(which means they have different “dimensions”).  
• An error occurs whenever an operation involving any two cells generates a mathematical  
error.  
I Inputting a List into a Calculation  
There are three methods you can use to input a list into a calculation.  
• Specification of the list number of a list created with List Editor.  
• Specification of the sub name of a list created with List Editor.  
• Direct input of a list of values.  
S To specify the list number of a list created with List Editor  
1. In the RUN • MAT (or RUN) mode, perform the following key operation.  
 *(LIST)(List)  
• Enter the “List” command.  
2. Enter the list number (integer from 1 to 26) you want to specify.  
S To specify the sub name of a list created with List Editor  
1. In the RUN • MAT (or RUN) mode, perform the following key operation.  
 *(LIST)(List)  
• Enter the “List” command.  
2. Enter the sub name of the list you want to specify, enclosed in double quotes (" ").  
Example: "QTY"  
3-10  
S To directly input a list of values  
You can also directly input a list of values using {, }, and .  
Example  
To input the list: 56, 82, 64  
( { )DEꢊGAꢊ  
EC  
( } )  
S To assign the contents of one list to another list  
Use ? to assign the contents of one list to another list.  
Example  
To assign the contents of List 3 (41, 65, 22) to List 1  
*(LIST)(List)B?(List)@U  
In place of (LIST)(List)B operation in the above procedure, you could input  
( { )C@ꢊEDꢊAA ( } ).  
S To recall the value in a specific list cell  
You can recall the value in a specific list cell and use it in a calculation. Specify the cell number  
by enclosing it inside square brackets.  
Example  
To calculate the sine of the value stored in Cell 3 of List 2  
Q*(LIST)(List)A ( [ )B ( ] )U  
S To input a value into a specific list cell  
You can input a value into a specific list cell inside a list. When you do, the value that was  
previously stored in the cell is replaced with the new value you input.  
Example  
To input the value 25 into Cell 2 of List 3  
AD?*(LIST)(List)B ( [ )A  
( ] )U  
I Recalling List Contents  
Example  
To recall the contents of List 1  
*(LIST)(List)@U  
• The above operation displays the contents of the list you specify and also stores them in  
ListAns Memory. You can then use the ListAns Memory contents in a calculation.  
3-11  
S To use list contents in ListAns Memory in a calculation  
Example  
To multiply the list contents in ListAns Memory by 36  
*(LIST)(List) (Ans) BEU  
• The operation *(LIST)(List) (Ans) recalls ListAns Memory contents.  
• This operation replaces current ListAns Memory contents with the result of the above  
calculation.  
I Graphing a Function Using a List  
When using the graphing functions of this calculator, you can input a function such as Y1 =  
List 1X. If List 1 contains the values 1, 2, 3, this function will produces three graphs:Y = X,  
Y = 2X, Y = 3X.  
There are certain limitations on using lists with graphing functions.  
I Inputting Scientific Calculations into a List  
You can use the numeric table generation functions in the TABLE mode to input values that  
result from certain scientific function calculations into a list. To do this, first generate a table  
and then use the list copy function to copy the values from the table to the list.  
2
Example  
To use the TABLE mode to create a number table for the formula (Y1 = x  
–1), and then copy the table to List 1 in the STAT mode  
2
1. In the TABLE mode, input the formula Y1 = x –1.  
2. Create the number table.  
3. Use C to move the highlighting to the Y1 column.  
4. Press *(LMEM).  
5. Press @U.  
6. Enter the STAT mode to confirm that TABLE mode column Y1 has been copied to List 1.  
3-12  
I Performing Scientific Function Calculations Using a List

• Simultaneous Linear Equation with Two Unknowns:  
a1x + b1y = c1  
a2x + b2y = c2  
• Simultaneous Linear Equation with Three Unknowns:  
a1x + b1y + c1z = d1  
a2x + b2y + c2z = d2  
a3x + b3y + c3z = d3  
1. From the Main Menu, enter the EQUA mode.  
2. Select the SIML (Simultaneous) mode, and specify the number of unknowns (variables).  
You can specify from 2 to 6 unknowns.  
3. Sequentially input the coefficients.  
• The cell that is currently selected for input is highlighted. Each time you input a coefficient,  
the highlighting shifts in the sequence:  
a1 m b1 m c1 m an m bn m cn m (n = 2 to 6)  
• You can also input fractions and values assigned to variables as coefficients.  
• You can cancel the value you are inputting for the current coefficient by pressing ) at  
any time before you press U to store the coefficient value. This returns to the coefficient  
to what it was before you input anything. You can then input another value if you want.  
• To change the value of a coefficient that you already stored by pressing U, move the  
cursor to the coefficient you want to edit. Next, input the value you want to change to.  
• Pressing (CLR) clears all coefficients to zero.  
4. Solve the equations.

Because of this, precision is reduced as the value of the determinant approaches zero. Also,  
simultaneous equations with three or more unknowns may take a very long time to solve.  
• An error occurs if the calculator is unable to find a solution.  
• After calculation is complete, you can press (REPT), change coefficient values, and then  
re-calculate.

having to solve the equation.  
1. From the Main Menu, enter the EQUA mode.  
2. Select the SOLV (Solver) mode, and input the equation as it is written.  
• If you do not input an equals sign, the calculator assumes that the expression is to the left  
of the equals sign, and there is a zero to the right.  
• An error occurs if you input more than one equals sign.  
3. In the table of variables that appears on the display, input values for each variable.  
• You can also specify values for Upper and Lower to define the upper and lower limits of  
the range of solutions.  
• An error occurs if the solution falls outside the range you specify.  
4. Select the variable for which you want to solve to obtain the solution.  
“Lft” and “Rgt” indicate the left and right sides that are calculated using the solution.*1  
*1 Solutions are approximated using Newton’s method. Lft and Rgt values are displayed for  
confirmation, because Newton’s method may produce results that are the real solution.  
The closer the difference between the Lft and Rgt values is to zero, the lower degree of  
error in the result.  
Example  
An object thrown into the air at initial velocity V takes time T to reach  
height H. Use the following formula to solve for initial velocity V when  
H = 14 (meters), T = 2 (seconds) and gravitational acceleration is G =  
9.8 (m/s2).  
H = VT – 1/2 GT2

I How to draw a simple graph (1)  
To draw a graph, simply input the applicable function.  
1. From the Main Menu, enter the GRAPH mode.  
2. Input the function you want to graph.  
Here you would use the V-Window to specify the range and other parameters of the graph.  
See page 5-2.  
3. Draw the graph.

Example  
To graph y = 3x  
 K GRAPH  
 BTVU  
 (DRAW) (or U)  
Press   to return to the screen in step 2 (Graph relation list). After drawing a graph, you  
can toggle between the Graph relation list and graph screen by pressing  
(GjT).  
I How to draw a simple graph (2)  
You can store up to 20 functions in memory and then select the one you want for graphing.  
1. From the Main Menu, enter the GRAPH mode.  
2. Specify the function type and input the function whose graph you want to draw.  
You can use the GRAPH mode to draw a graph for the following types of expressions:  
rectangular coordinate expression (Y=f(x)), polar coordinate expression, parametric  
function, rectangular coordinate expression (X=f(y)), inequality.  
(TYPE)(Y=) ... rectangular coordinates (Y=f(x) type)  
(r=) ... polar coordinates  
(Parm) ... parametric function  
(X=) ... rectangular coordinates (X=f(y) type)  
5-1  
(CONV)(Y=) to (Yb)  
(E)(X=) to (Xb) ... changes the function type  
(E)(Y>) to (Yb) .... Y inequality on left side  
(E)(E)(X>) to (Xb) .... X inequality on left side  
Repeat this step as many times as required to input all of the functions you want.  
Next you should specify which of the functions among those that are stored in memory  
you want to graph (see page 5-6). If you do not select specific functions here, the graph  
operation will draw graphs of all the functions currently stored in memory.  
3. Draw the graph.  
You can use the function menu that appears when you press (STYL) in step 2 of the  
above procedure to select one of the following line styles for each graph.  
( ) ... Normal (initial default)  
( ) … Thick (twice the thickness of Normal)  
( ) … Broken (thick broken)  
( ) … Dot (dotted)  
When simultaneously graphing multiple inequalities, you can use the “Ineq Type” setting  
on the Setup screen (  
K(SETUP)) to specify either of two fill ranges.  
(AND) ... Fills areas only where the conditions of  
all of the graphed inequalities are satisfied.  
This is the initial default.  
(OR) ..... Fills all areas where the conditions of the  
graphed inequalities are satisfied.  
Example  
Input the functions shown below and draw their graphs.  
Y1 = 2x – 3, r2 = 3sin2Q

2. Controlling What Appears on a Graph Screen  
I V-Window (View Window) Settings  
Use the View Window to specify the range of the x- and y-axes, and to set the spacing  
between the increments on each axis. You should always set the V-Window parameters you  
want to use before graphing.  
5-2  
S To make V-Window settings  
1. From the Main Menu, enter the GRAPH mode.  
2. Press  
(V-WIN) to display the V-Window setting screen.  
Rectangular coordinate parameter  
Xmin/Xmax … Minimum/maximum x-axis value  
Xscale … Spacing of x-axis increments  
Xdot … Value that corresponds to one x-axis dot  
Ymin/Ymax … Minimum/maximum y-axis value  
Yscale … Spacing of y-axis increments  
Polar coordinate parameter  
TQ min/TQ max ... Minimum/maximum T, Q values  
TQ ptch ... T, Q pitch  
3. Press A to move the highlighting and input an appropriate value for each parameter,  
pressing U after each.  
• {INIT}/{TRIG}/{STD} … V-Window {initial settings}/{initial settings using specified angle  
unit}/{standardized settings}  
• {STO}/{RCL} … V-Window setting {store}/{recall}  
After settings are the way you want them, press ) or  
)(QUIT) to exit the V-Window  
setting screen.  
• Pressing U without inputting anything while I (busy indicator) is displayed exits the  
V-Window setting screen.  
S V-Window Setting Precautions  
• Inputting zero for TQ ptch causes an error.  
• Any illegal input (out of range value, negative sign without a value, etc.) causes an error.  
• When TQ max is less than TQ min, TQ ptch becomes negative.  
• You can input expressions (such as 2P) as V-Window parameters.  
• When the V-Window setting produces an axis that does not fit on the display, the scale of  
the axis is indicated on the edge of the display closest to the origin.  
• Changing the V-Window settings clears the graph currently on the display and replaces it  
with the new axes only.  
• Changing the Xmin or Xmax value causes the Xdot value to be adjusted automatically.  
Changing the Xdot value causes the Xmax value to be adjusted automatically.  
• A polar coordinate (r =) or parametric graph will appear coarse if the settings you make in  
the V-Window cause the TQ ptch value to be too large, relative to the differential between  
the TQ min and TQ max settings. If the settings you make cause the TQ ptch value to be  
too small relative to the differential between the TQ min and TQ max settings, on the other  
hand, the graph will take a very long time to draw.  
• The following is the input range for V-Window parameters.  
–9.999999999E 97 to 9.999999999E 97

• Use the sketch Cls function (page 5-28) to clear a graph that was recalled from picture  
memory.  
5. Drawing Two Graphs on the Same Screen  
I Copying the Graph to the Sub-screen  
Dual Graph lets you split the screen into two parts. Then you can graph two different functions  
in each for comparison, or draw a normal size graph on one side and its enlarged version on  
the other side. This makes Dual Graph a powerful graph analysis tool.  
With Dual Graph, the left side of the screen is called the “main screen”, while the right side is  
called the “sub-screen”.  
SMain Screen  
The graph in the main screen is actually drawn from a function.  
SSub-screen  
The graph on the sub-screen is produced by copying or zooming the main screen graph.  
You can even make different V-Window settings for the sub-screen and main screen.  
S To copy the graph to the sub-screen  
1. From the Main Menu, enter the GRAPH mode.  
2. On the Setup screen, select “G+G” for Dual Screen.  
3. Make V-Window settings for the main screen.  
Press (RIGHT) to display the sub-graph settings screen. Pressing (LEFT) returns to  
the main screen setting screen.  
4. Store the function, and draw the graph in the main screen.  
5. Perform the Dual Graph operation you want.  
*(COPY) ... Duplicates the main screen graph in the sub-screen  
*(SWAP) ... Swaps the main screen contents and sub-screen contents  
• Indicators appear to the right of the formulas in the Graph relation list to tell where graphs  
are drawn with Dual Graph.  
Indicates sub-screen graph (on right side of display)  
Indicates graph drawn on both sides of display  
R
Performing a draw operation with the function marked “  
” in the above example screen  
B
causes the graph to be drawn on the right side on the display. The function marked “  
drawn on both sides of the graph.  
” is  
5-11

parametric functions, and inequalities.  
I Using Copy and Paste to Graph a Function  
You can graph a function by copying it to the clipboard, and then pasting it into the graph  
screen.  
There are two types of functions you can paste into the graph screen.  
Type 1 (Y= expression)  
A function with the Y variable to the left of the equal sign is graphed as Y=  
expression.  
Example: To paste Y=X and graph it  
• Any spaces to the left of Y are ignored.  
Type 2 (expression)  
Pasting this type of expression graphs Y= expression.  
Example: To paste X and graph Y=X  
• Any spaces to the left of the expression are ignored.  
S To graph a function using copy and paste  
1. Copy the function you want to graph to the clipboard.  
2. From the Main Menu, enter the GRAPH mode.  
3. On the Setup screen, change the “Dual Screen” setting to “Off”.  
4. Make V-Window settings.  
5. Draw the graph.

• Though there is no limit on the number of graphs you can draw by pasting a function, the  
total number of graphs supported by trace and other functions is 30 (number of graphs  
drawn using expression number 1 to 20, plus graphs drawn using pasted functions).  
• For the graph of a pasted function, the graph expression that appears when using trace or  
other functions is displayed in the format: Y= expression.  
• Re-executing a draw without clearing graph screen memory will redraw all the graphs,  
including those produced by pasting functions.  
7. Using Tables  
To enter the TABLE mode, select the TABLE icon on the Main Menu.  
I Storing a Function and Generating a Number Table  
S To store a function  
2
Example  
To store the function y = 3x – 2 in memory area Y1  
Use D and A to move the highlighting in the Table relation list to the memory area where  
you want to store the function. Next, input the function and press U to store it.  
S Variable Specifications  
There are two methods you can use to specify value for the variable x when generating a  
numeric table.  
• Table range method  
With this method, you specify the conditions for the change in value of the variable.  
• List  
With this method, the data in the list you specify is substituted for the x-variable to  
generate a number table.  
5-15  
S To generate a table using a table range  
Example  
To generate a table as the value of variable x changes from –3 to 3, in  
increments of 1  
K TABLE  
(SET)  
BUBU@U  
The numeric table range defines the conditions under which the value of variable x changes  
during function calculation.  
Start............ Variable x start value  
End ............. Variable x end value  
Step ............ Variable x value change (interval)  
After specifying the table range, press ) to return to the Table relation list.  
S To generate a table using a list  
1. While the Table relation list is on the screen, display the Setup screen.  
2. Highlight Variable and then press (LIST) to display the pop-up window.  
3. Select the list whose values you want to assign for the x-variable.  
• To select List 6, for example, press EU. This causes the setting of the Variable  
item of the Setup screen to change to List 6.  
4. After specifying the list you want to use, press ) to return to the previous screen.  
S Generating a Table  
Example  
To generate a table of values for the functions stored in memory areas  
Y1 and Y3 of the Table relation list  
Use D and A to move the highlighting to the  
function you want to select for table generation and  
press (SEL) to select it.  
The “=” sign of selected functions is highlighted on  
the screen. To deselect a function, move the cursor  
to it and press (SEL) again.  
Press (TABL) to generate a number table using  
the functions you selected. The value of variable x  
changes according to the range or the contents  
of the list you specified.  
The example screen shown here shows the results based  
on the contents of List 6 (–3, –2, –1, 0, 1, 2, 3).  
Each cell can contain up to six digits, including negative sign.  
5-16  
S To generate a differential number table  
Changing the setting of Setup screen’s Derivative item to On causes a number table that  
includes the derivative to be displayed whenever you generate a number table.  
Locating the cursor at a differential  
coefficient displays “dy/dx” in the top line,  
which indicates differential.  
• An error occurs if a graph for which a range is specified  
or an overwrite graph is included among the graph  
expressions.  
S Specifying the Function Type  
You can specify a function as being one of three types.  
• Rectangular coordinate (Y=)  
• Polar coordinate (r=)  
• Parametric (Parm)  
1. Press (TYPE) while the relation list is on the screen.  
2. Press the number key that corresponds to the function type you want to specify.  
• The number table is generated only for the function type specified on the relation list (Table  
Func). You cannot generate a number table for a mixture of different function types.  
I Editing Tables  
You can use the table menu to perform any of the following operations once you generate a  
table.  
• Change the values of variable x  
• Edit (delete, insert, and append) rows  
• Delete a table  
• Draw a connect type graph  
• Draw a plot type graph  
• {FORM} ... {return to Table relation list}  
• {DEL} ... {delete table}  
• {ROW}  
• {DEL}/{INS}/{ADD} ... {delete}/{insert}/{add} row  
• {G CON}/{G PLT} ... {connected type}/{draw plot type} graph draw  
• If you try to replace a value with an illegal operation (such as division by zero), an error  
occurs and the original value remains unchanged.  
• You cannot directly change any values in the other (non-x) columns of the table.  
5-17  
I Copying a Table Column to a List  
A simple operation lets you copy the contents of a numeric table column into a list.  
Use B and C to move the cursor to the column you want to copy. The cursor can be in any  
row.

Chapter 6 Statistical Graphs and  
Calculations  
Important!  
This chapter contains a number of graph screen shots. In each case, new data values were input in  
order to highlight the particular characteristics of the graph being drawn. Note that when you try to  
draw a similar graph, the unit uses data values that you have input using the List function. Because  
of this, the graphs that appear on the screen when you perform a graphing operation will probably  
differ somewhat from those shown in this manual.  
1. Before Performing Statistical Calculations  
Entering the STAT mode from the Main Menu displays the List Editor screen.  
You can use the List Editor screen to input statistical data and perform statistical calculations.  
Use D, A, B and C to move the  
highlighting around the lists.  
6
Once you input data, you can use it to produce a graph and  
check for tendencies.You can also use a variety of different  
regression calculations to analyze the data.  
• For information about using the statistical data lists, see  
“Chapter 3 List Function”.  
I Changing Graph Parameters  
Use the following procedures to specify the graph draw/non-draw status, the graph type, and  
other general settings for each of the graphs in the graph menu (GPH1, GPH2, GPH3).  
While the statistical data list is on the display, press (GRPH) to display the graph menu,  
which contains the following items.  
• {GPH1}/{GPH2}/{GPH3} ... graph {1}/{2}/{3} drawing*1  
• {SEL} ... {simultaneous graph (GPH1, GPH2, GPH3) selection}  
You can specify the multiple graphs.  
• {SET} ... {graph settings (graph type, list assignments)}  
*1 The initial default graph type setting for all the graphs (Graph 1 through Graph 3) is scatter  
diagram, but you can change to one of a number of other graph types.  
1. General graph settings  
[GRPH]-[SET]  
This section describes how to use the general graph settings screen to make the following  
settings for each graph (GPH1, GPH2, GPH3).  
• Graph Type  
The initial default graph type setting for all the graphs is scatter graph.You can select one of a  
variety of other statistical graph types for each graph.  
6-1  
• List  
The initial default statistical data is List 1 for single-variable data, and List 1 and List 2 for  
paired-variable data.You can specify which statistical data list you want to use for x-data and  
y-data.  
• Frequency  
Normally, each data item or data pair in the statistical data list is represented on a graph as  
a point. When you are working with a large number of data items however, this can cause  
problems because of the number of plot points on the graph. When this happens, you can  
specify a frequency list that contains values indicating the number of instances (the frequency)  
of the data items in the corresponding cells of the lists you are using for x-data and y-data.  
Once you do this, only one point is plotted for the multiple data items, which makes the graph  
easier to read.  
• Mark Type  
This setting lets you specify the shape of the plot points on the graph.  
S To display the general graph settings screen

2. Graph draw/non-draw status  
[GRPH]-[SEL]  
The following procedure can be used to specify the draw (On)/non-draw (Off) status of each of  
the graphs in the graph menu.  
S To specify the draw/non-draw status of a graph  
1. Pressing (GRPH)(SEL) displays the graph On/Off  
screen.  
• Note that the StatGraph1 setting is for Graph 1 (GPH1 of the graph menu), StatGraph2 is  
for Graph 2, and StatGraph3 is for Graph 3.  
2. Use the cursor keys to move the highlighting to the graph whose status you want to change,  
and press the applicable function key to change the status.  
• {On}/{Off} ... {On (draw)}/{Off (non-draw)}  
• {DRAW} ... {draws all On graphs}  
3. To return to the graph menu, press ).  
• V-Window parameters are normally set automatically for statistical graphing. If you want to  
set V-Window parameters manually, you must change the Stat Wind item to “Manual”.  
While the statistical data list is on the display, perform the following procedure.  
K(SET UP)(Man)  
)(Returns to previous menu.)  
Note that V-Window parameters are set automatically for the following types of graphs  
regardless of whether or not the Stat Wind item is set to “Manual”.  
Pie, 1-Sample Z Test, 2-Sample Z Test, 1-Prop Z Test, 2-Prop Z Test, 1-Sample t Test, 2-

Sample t Test, C GOF Test, C 2-way Test, 2-Sample F Test (x-axis only disregarded).  
• The default setting automatically uses List 1 data as x-axis (horizontal) values and List 2 data  
as y-axis (vertical) values. Each set of x/y data is a point on the scatter diagram.  
6-3  
2. Calculating and Graphing Single-Variable  
Statistical Data  
Single-variable data is data with only a single variable. If you are calculating the average height  
of the members of a class for example, there is only one variable (height).  
Single-variable statistics include distribution and sum. The following types of graphs are  
available for single-variable statistics.  
You can also use the procedures under “Changing Graph Parameters” on page 6-1 to make  
the settings you want before drawing each graph.  
I Normal Probability Plot  
This plot compares the data accumulated ratio with a normal distribution accumulated ratio.  
XList specifies the list where data is input, and Mark Type is used to select from among the  
marks {U / s / • } you want to plot.  
Press  , ) or  
)(QUIT) to return to the statistical data list.  
I Pie Graph  
You can draw a pie graph based on the data in a specific list. The maximum number of graph  
data items (list lines) is 20. The graph is labeled A, B, C, and so on, corresponding to lines 1,  
2, 3, and so on of the list used for the graph data.  
When “%” is selected for the “Display” setting on the general graph settings screen (page 6-3),  
a value showing the percentage is displayed for each of the alphabetic label letters.  
I Histogram  
XList specifies the list where the data is input, while Freq specifies the list where the data  
frequency is input. 1 is specified for Freq when frequency is not specified.  
U(DRAW)  
6-4  
The display screen appears as shown above before the graph is drawn. At this point, you can  
change the Start and Width values.  
I Med-box Graph  
This type of graph lets you see how a large number of  
data items are grouped within specific ranges. A box  
encloses all the data in an area from the first quartile  
minX  
(Q1) to the third quartile (Q3), with a line drawn at the  
median (Med). Lines (called whiskers) extend from  
either end of the box up to the minimum (minX) and  
maximum (maxX) of the data.  
Q1 Med Q3 maxX  
From the statistical data list, press (GRPH) to display the  
graph menu, press (SET), and then change the graph  
type of the graph you want to use (GPH1, GPH2, GPH3) to  
med-box graph.  
To plot the data that falls outside the box, first specify  
“MedBox” as the Graph Type. Then, on the same screen you  
use to specify the graph type, turn the Outliers item “On”,  
and draw the graph.  
• Changing the “Q1Q3 Type” setting on the Setup screen can cause the Q1 and Q3 positions  
to change, even when a Med-box graph is drawn based on a single list.  
I Bar Graph  
You can specify up to three lists for drawing a bar graph. The graph is labeled [1], [2], [3], and  
so on, corresponding to lines 1, 2, 3, and so on of the list used for the graph data.  
• Any of the following causes an error and cancels bar graph drawing.  
- A Condition ERROR occurs when drawing of multiple graphs is specified using the graph  
On/Off screen (page 6-3), and bar graph is specified for one of the graphs and a different  
graph type is specified for another graph.  
- A Dimension ERROR occurs when you draw a graph with two or three lists specified and  
the specified lists have a different number of list elements.  
- A Condition ERROR occurs when lists are assigned for Data1 and Data3, while “None” is  
specified for Data2.

With this calculation method, processing depends on whether the number of elements n in the  
population is an even number or odd number.  
When the number of elements n is an even number:  
Using the center point of the total population as the reference, the population elements are  
divided into two groups: a lower half group and an upper half group. Q1 and Q3 then become  
the values described below.

I Displaying Regression Calculation Results  
Whenever you perform a regression calculation, the regression formula parameter (such as a  
and b in the linear regression y = ax + b) calculation results appear on the display.You can use  
these to obtain statistical calculation results.  
Regression parameters are calculated as soon as you press a function key to select a  
regression type, while a graph is on the display.  
The following parameters are used by linear regression, logarithmic regression, exponential  
regression, and power regression.

6-10  
I Graphing Statistical Calculation Results  
While the parameter calculation result is on the display, you can graph the displayed  
regression formula by pressing (DRAW).  
I Linear Regression Graph  
Linear regression uses the method of least squares to plot a straight line that passes close to  
as many data points as possible, and returns values for the slope and y-intercept (y-coordinate  
when x = 0) of the line.  
The graphic representation of this relationship is a linear regression graph.

a .............regression constant term (y-intercept)  
b .............regression coefficient (slope)  
I Med-Med Graph  
When it is suspected that there are a number of extreme values, a Med-Med graph can be  
used in place of the least squares method. This is similar to linear regression, but it minimizes  
the effects of extreme values.

I Logarithmic Regression Graph  
Logarithmic regression expresses y as a logarithmic function of x. The standard logarithmic  
regression formula is y = a + b × In x, so if we say that X = In x, the formula corresponds to  
linear regression formula y = a + bX.  
(CALC)(E)(Log)

I Exponential Regression Graph  
Exponential regression expresses y as a proportion of the exponential function of x. The  
bx  
standard exponential regression formula is y = a × e , so if we take the logarithms of both  
sides we get In y = In a + bx. Next, if we say Y = In y, and A = In a, the formula corresponds to  
linear regression formula Y = A + bx.

I Power Regression Graph  
Power regression expresses y as a proportion of the power of x. The standard power  
b
regression formula is y = a × x , so if we take the logarithm of both sides we get In  
y = In a + b × In x. Next, if we say X = In x, Y = In y, and A = In a, the formula corresponds to  
linear regression formula Y = A + bX.

Sinusoidal regression is best applied for cyclical data.  
The following is the sinusoidal regression model formula.  
y = a·sin(bx + c) + d  
(CALC)(E)(Sin)  
(DRAW)  
Drawing a sine regression graph causes the angle unit setting of the calculator to automatically  
change to Rad (radians). The angle unit does not change when you perform a sine regression  
calculation without drawing a graph.  
• Certain types of data may take a long time to calculate. This does not indicate malfunction.  
I Logistic Regression Graph

While the statistical data list is on the display, recall the Setup screen to specify a LIST (“List 1”  
through “List 26”) for “Resid List”. Calculated residual data is stored in the specified list.  
The vertical distance from the plots to the regression model will be stored in the list.  
Plots that are higher than the regression model are positive, while those that are lower are  
negative.  
Residual calculation can be performed and saved for all regression models.  
Any data already existing in the selected list is cleared. The residual of each plot is stored in  
the same precedence as the data used as the model.  
I Displaying the Calculation Results of a Drawn Paired-Variable Graph

following procedures can be used to perform statistical calculations alone.  
S To specify statistical calculation data lists  
You have to input the statistical data for the calculation you want to perform and specify  
where it is located before you start a calculation. Display the statistical data and then press  
(CALC)(SET).  
The following is the meaning for each item.  
1Var XList.......location of single-variable statistic x values (XList)  
1Var Freq........location of single-variable frequency values (Frequency)  
2Var XList.......location of paired-variable statistic x values (XList)  
2Var YList .......location of paired-variable statistic y values (YList)  
2Var Freq........location of paired-variable frequency values (Frequency)  
• Calculations in this section are performed based on the above specifications.  
I Single-Variable Statistical Calculations  
In the previous example under “Displaying the Calculation Results of a Drawn Single-Variable  
Graph”, statistical calculation results were displayed after the graph was drawn. These were  
numeric expressions of the characteristics of variables used in the graphic display.  
These values can also be directly obtained by displaying the  
statistical data list and pressing (CALC)(1VAR).  
After this, pressing D or A scrolls the statistical calculation result display so you can view  
variable characteristics.  
For details on the meanings of these statistical values, see “Displaying the Calculation Results  
of a Drawn Single-Variable Graph” (page 6-6).

variable characteristics.  
For details on the meanings of these statistical values, see “Displaying the Calculation Results  
of a Drawn Paired-Variable Graph” (page 6-14).  
I Regression Calculation  
In the explanations from “Linear Regression Graph” to “Logistic Regression Graph”, regression  
calculation results were displayed after the graph was drawn. Here, each coefficient value of  
the regression line or regression curve is expressed as a number.  
You can directly determine the same expression from the data input screen.  
Pressing (CALC)(REG) displays a function menu, which contains the following items.  
• {ax+b}/{a+bx}/{Med}/{X^2}/{X^3}/{X^4}/{Log}/{ae^bx}/{ab^x}/{Pwr}/{Sin}/{Lgst} ...

S Estimated Value Calculation for Regression Graphs  
The STAT mode also includes a Y-CAL function that uses regression to calculate the estimated  
y-value for a particular x-value after graphing a paired-variable statistical  
regression.  
The following is the general procedure for using the Y-CAL function.  
1. After drawing a regression graph, press  
(G-SLV)(Y-CAL) to enter the graph  
selection mode, and then press U.  
If there are multiple graphs on the display, use D and A to select the graph you want,  
and then press U.  
• This causes an x-value input dialog box to appear.  
2. Input the value you want for x and then press U.  
• This causes the coordinates for x and y to appear at  
the bottom of the display, and moves the pointer to the  
corresponding point on the graph.  
6-17  
3. Pressing T or a number key at this time causes the x-value input dialog box to reappear  
so you can perform another estimated value calculation if you want.  
• The pointer does not appear if the calculated coordinates are not within the display range.  
• The coordinates do not appear if “Off” is specified for the “Coord” item of the Setup screen.  
• The Y-CAL function can also be used with a graph drawn by using DefG feature.  
S Regression Formula Copy Function from a Regression Calculation Result  
Screen  
In addition to the normal regression formula copy function that lets you copy the regression  
calculation result screen after drawing a statistical graph (such as Scatter Plot), the STAT  
mode also has a function that lets you copy the regression formula obtained as the result of a  
regression calculation. To copy a resulting regression formula, press (COPY).  
I Estimated Value Calculation ( , )  
After drawing a regression graph with the STAT mode, you can use the RUN • MAT (or RUN)  
mode to calculate estimated values for the regression graph’s x and y parameters.

5. Tests  
Important!  
Test calculations cannot be performed on the fx-7400GII.  
The Z Test provides a variety of different standardization-based tests. They make it possible to  
test whether or not a sample accurately represents the population when the standard deviation  
of a population (such as the entire population of a country) is known from previous tests. Z  
testing is used for market research and public opinion research, that need to be performed  
repeatedly.  
6-22  
1-Sample Z Test tests for the unknown population mean when the population standard  
deviation is known.  
2-Sample Z Test tests the equality of the means of two populations based on independent  
samples when both population standard deviations are known.  
1-Prop Z Test tests for an unknown proportion of successes.  
2-Prop Z Test tests to compare the proportion of successes from two populations.  
The t Test tests the hypothesis when the population standard deviation is unknown. The  
hypothesis that is the opposite of the hypothesis being proven is called the null hypothesis,  
while the hypothesis being proved is called the alternative hypothesis. The t Test is normally  
applied to test the null hypothesis. Then a determination is made whether the null hypothesis  
or alternative hypothesis will be adopted.  
1-Sample t Test tests the hypothesis for a single unknown population mean when the  
population standard deviation is unknown.  
2-Sample t Test compares the population means when the population standard deviations are  
unknown.  
LinearReg t Test calculates the strength of the linear association of paired data.  
With the C2 test, a number of independent groups are provided and a hypothesis is tested  
relative to the probability of samples being included in each group.  
2
The C2 GOF test (C one-way Test) tests whether the observed count of sample data fits  
a certain distribution. For example, it can be used to determine conformance with normal  
distribution or binomial distribution.  
The C2 two-way test creates a cross-tabulation table that structures mainly two qualitative  
variables (such as “Yes” and “No”), and evaluates the independence of the variables.  
2-Sample F Test tests the hypothesis for the ratio of sample variances. It could be used, for  
example, to test the carcinogenic effects of multiple suspected factors such as tobacco use,  
alcohol, vitamin deficiency, high coffee intake, inactivity, poor living habits, etc.  
ANOVA tests the hypothesis that the population means of the samples are equal when  
there are multiple samples. It could be used, for example, to test whether or not different  
combinations of materials have an effect on the quality and life of a final product.  
One-Way ANOVA is used when there is one independent variable and one dependent  
variable.  
Two-Way ANOVA is used when there are two independent variables and one dependent  
variable.

the hypothesis is not rejected.  
Temperature differential (B) level of significance P = 0.04222398836  
The level of significance (p = 0.04222398836) is less than the significance level (0.05), so the  
hypothesis is rejected.  
• Interaction (A s B) level of significance P = 2.78169946e-3  
The level of significance (p = 2.78169946e-3) is less than the significance level (0.05), so the  
hypothesis is rejected.

6. Confidence Interval  
Important!  
• Confidence interval calculations cannot be performed on the fx-7400GII.  
A confidence interval is a range (interval) that includes a statistical value, usually the  
population mean.  
A confidence interval that is too broad makes it difficult to get an idea of where the population  
value (true value) is located. A narrow confidence interval, on the other hand, limits the  
population value and makes it difficult to obtain reliable results. The most commonly used  
confidence levels are 95% and 99%. Raising the confidence level broadens the confidence  
interval, while lowering the confidence level narrows the confidence level, but it also  
increases the chance of accidently overlooking the population value. With a 95% confidence  
interval, for example, the population value is not included within the resulting intervals 5% of  
the time.  
When you plan to conduct a survey and then t test and Z test the data, you must also consider  
the sample size, confidence interval width, and confidence level. The confidence level changes  
in accordance with the application.  
1-Sample Z Interval calculates the confidence interval for an unknown population mean when  
the population standard deviation is known.  
2-Sample Z Interval calculates the confidence interval for the difference between two  
population means when the population standard deviations of two samples are known.  
1-Prop Z Interval calculates the confidence interval for an unknown proportion of successes.  
2-Prop Z Interval calculates the confidence interval for the difference between the proportion  
of successes in two populations.  
1-Sample t Interval calculates the confidence interval for an unknown population mean when  
the population standard deviation is unknown.  
2-Sample t Interval calculates the confidence interval for the difference between two  
population means when both population standard deviations are unknown.  
On the initial STAT mode screen, press (INTR) to display the confidence interval menu,  
which contains the following items.

7. Distribution  
Important!  
• Distribution calculations cannot be performed on the fx-7400GII.  
There is a variety of different types of distribution, but the most well-known is “normal  
distribution”, which is essential for performing statistical calculations. Normal distribution  
is a symmetrical distribution centered on the greatest occurrences of mean data (highest  
frequency), with the frequency decreasing as you move away from the center. Poisson  
distribution, geometric distribution, and various other distribution shapes are also used,  
depending on the data type.  
Certain trends can be determined once the distribution shape is determined.You can calculate  
the probability of data taken from a distribution being less than a specific value.  
For example, distribution can be used to calculate the yield rate when manufacturing some  
product. Once a value is established as the criteria, you can calculate normal probability when  
estimating what percent of the products meet the criteria. Conversely, a success rate target  
(80% for example) is set up as the hypothesis, and normal distribution is used to estimate the  
proportion of the products will reach this value.  
Normal probability density calculates the probability density of normal distribution from a  
specified x value.  
Normal cumulative distribution calculates the probability of normal distribution data falling  
between two specific values.  
Inverse normal cumulative distribution calculates a value that represents the location within  
a normal distribution for a specific cumulative probability.  
Student-t probability density calculates t probability density from a specified x value.  
Student-t cumulative distribution calculates the probability of t distribution data falling  
between two specific values.  
Inverse Student-t cumulative distribution calculates the lower bound value of a Student-t  
cumulative probability density for a specified percentage.  
Like t distribution, probability density (or probability), cumulative distribution and inverse  
cumulative distribution can also be calculated for C2, F, Binomial, Poisson, Geometric and  
Hypergeometric distributions.  
On the initial STAT mode screen, press (DIST) to display the distribution menu, which

I Common Distribution Functions  
• V-Window settings for graph drawing are set automatically when the Setup screen’s “Stat  
Wind” setting is “Auto”. Current V-Window settings are used for graph drawing when the “Stat  
Wind” setting is “Manual”.  
• After drawing a graph, you can use the P-CAL function to calculate an estimated p-value for  
a particular x value. The P-CAL function can be used only after a Normal Probability Density,  
2
Student-t Probability Density, Ƶ Probability Density, or F Probability Density graph is drawn.  
The following is the general procedure for using the P-CAL function.  
1. After drawing a distribution graph, press  
input dialog box.  
(G-SLV) (P-CAL) to display the x value  
2. Input the value you want for x and then press U.  
• This causes the x and p values to appear at the bottom of the display, and moves the  
pointer to the corresponding point on the graph.  
3. Pressing T or a number key at this time causes the x value input dialog box to reappear  
so you can perform another estimated value calculation if you want.  
4. After you are finished, press ) to clear the coordinate values and the pointer from the  
display.  
• Executing an analysis function automatically stores the x and p values in alpha variables X  
and P, respectively.

I Graphing in the TVM Mode  
After performing a financial calculation, you can use (GRPH) to graph the results as shown  
below.  
• Pressing  
(TRCE) while a graph is on the display activates Trace, which can be used  
to look up other financial values. In the case of simple interest, for example, pressing C  
displays PV, SI, and SFV. Pressing B displays the same values in reverse sequence.  
• Zoom, Scroll, and Sketch cannot be used in the TVM mode.  
• Whether you should use a positive or a negative value for the present value (PV) or the  
purchase price (PRC) depends on the type of calculation you are trying to perform.  
• Note that graphs should be used only for reference purposes when viewing TVM mode  
calculation results.  
• Note that calculation results produced in this mode should be regarded as reference values  
only.  
• Whenever performing an actual financial transaction, be sure to check any calculation results  
obtained using this calculator with against the figures calculated by your financial institution.

4. Cash Flow (Investment Appraisal)  
This calculator uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to perform investment appraisal  
by totalling cash flow for a fixed period. This calculator can perform the following four types of  
investment appraisal.  
• Net present value (NPV)  
• Net future value (NFV)  
• Internal rate of return (IRR)  
• Payback period (PBP)  
A cash flow diagram like the one shown below helps to visualize the movement of funds.

CF1  
CF0  
With this graph, the initial investment amount is represented by CF0. The cash flow one year  
later is shown by CF1, two years later by CF2, and so on.

In this formula, NPV = 0, and the value of IRR is equivalent to i × 100. It should be noted,  
however, that minute fractional values tend to accumulate during the subsequent calculations  
performed automatically by the calculator, so NPV never actually reaches exactly zero. IRR  
becomes more accurate the closer that NPV approaches to zero.

• The following describes the meaning of the MEMO screen display items.  
PRD ... number of days from d1 to d2  
N......... number of coupon payments between settlement date and maturity date  
A......... accrued days  
B......... number of days from settlement date until next coupon payment date (D−A)  
D ........ number of days in coupon period where settlement occurs  
• Each press of U while the MEMO screen is displayed cycles the Coupon Payment Day  
(CPD) display sequentially from the redemption year up to the purchase year. This is true  
only when the “Date Mode” setting on the “Setup” screen is “365”.  
11. Financial Calculations Using Functions  
Important!  
• The following operations cannot be performed on the fx-7400Gɉ.  
You can use special functions in the RUNMAT mode or PRGM mode to perform calculations  
that are the same as the TVM mode financial calculations.  
Example  
To calculate the total interest and principal paid for a 2-year (730-day)  
$300 loan at a simple annual interest rate of 5%. Use a Date Mode  
setting of 365.  
1. From the Main Menu, enter the RUNMAT mode.  
2. Press the keys as follows.  
*(E)(E)(E)(TVM)  
(SMPL)(SI)FB?ꢊDꢊ\  
B??ꢈU  
(SFV)FB?ꢊDꢊB??ꢈ\  
U
• Use the TVM mode Setup screen (  
K(SET UP)) to change the Date Mode setting.  
You also can use special commands (DateMode365, DateMode360) in the PRGM mode to  
change the setting.  
• For details about what you can do with the financial calculation functions and their syntax,  
see “Performing Financial Calculations in a Program” (page 8-35).

Chapter 8 Programming  
1. Basic Programming Steps  
Commands and calculations are executed sequentially, just like manual calculation multi-  
statements.  
1. From the Main Menu, enter the PRGM mode. When you do, a program list appears on the  
display.  
Selected program area  
(use D and A to move)  
Files are listed in the alphabetic sequence of their names.  
2. Register a file name.  
3. Input the program.  
4. Run the program.  
• The values to the right of the program list indicate the number of bytes used by each  
program.  
• A file name can be up to eight characters long.  
• The following are the characters you can use in a file name: A through Z, r, Q, spaces, [, ],  
8
{, }, ’, ”, ~, 0 through 9, ., +, –, ×, ÷  
• Registering a file name uses 32 bytes of memory.  
Example  
To calculate the surface area (cm2) and volume (cm3) of three regular  
octahedrons when the length of one side is 7, 10, and 15 cm,  
respectively  
Store the calculation formula under the file name OCTA.  
The following are the formulas used for calculating surface area S and volume  
V of a regular octahedron for which the length of one side A is known.

3. Editing Program Contents  
I Debugging a Program  
A problem in a program that keeps the program from running correctly is called a “bug”,  
and the process of eliminating such problems is called “debugging”. Either of the following  
symptoms indicates that your program contains bugs that require debugging.  
8-3  
• Error messages appearing when the program is run  
• Results that are not within your expectations  
S To eliminate bugs that cause error messages  
An error message, like the one shown to the right, appears  
whenever something illegal occurs during program execution.  
When such a message appears, press ) to display the place in the program where the  
error was caused. The cursor will be flashing at the location of the problem. Check the “Error  
Message Table” (page A-1) for steps you should take to correct the situation.  
• Note that pressing ) does not display the location of the error if the program is password  
protected.  
S To eliminate bugs that cause bad results  
If your program produces results that are not what you normally expect, check the contents of  
the program and make necessary changes.  
(TOP)... Moves the cursor to the top of the  
program  
(BTM)... Moves the cursor to the bottom of  
the program  
I Searching for Data Inside a Program  
Example  
To search for the letter “A” inside the program named OCTA  
1. Recall the program.  
2. Press (SRC) and input the data you want to find.  
(SRC)  
?T(A)  
3. Press U to begin the search. The contents of the  
program appear on the screen with the cursor located at  
the first instance of the data you specified.*1  
8-4  
4. Each press of U or (SRC) causes the cursor to jump  
to the next instance of the data you specified.*2  
*1 The message “Not Found” appears when the search data you specify cannot be found in the  
program.  
*2 If there are no more instances of the data you specified, the search operation ends.  
You cannot specify the newline symbol (=) or display command (<) for the search data.  
• Once the contents of the program are on the screen, you can use the cursor keys to move  
the cursor to another location before searching for the next instance of the data. Only the  
part of the program starting from the current cursor location is searched when you press U.  
• Once the search finds an instance of your data, inputting characters or moving the cursor  
causes the search operation to be cancelled.  
• If you make a mistake while inputting characters to search for, press   to clear your input  
and re-input from the beginning.  
4. File Management  
I Searching for a File  
S To find a file using initial character search  
Example  
To use initial character search to recall the program named OCTA  
1. While the program list is on the display, press (E)(SRC) and input the initial  
characters of the file you want to find.  
(E)(SRC)  
H(O)((C)(T)  
2. Press U to search.  
• The name that starts with the characters you input  
highlights.  
• If there is no program whose file name starts with the characters you input, the message  
“Not Found” appears on the display. If this happens, press ) to clear the error message.  
I Editing a File Name  
1. While the program list is on the display, use D and A to move the highlighting to the file  
whose name you want to edit and then press (E)(REN).  
2. Make any changes you want.  
3. Press U to register the new name and return to the program list.  
The program list is resorted according to the changes you made in the file name.  
• If the modifications you make result in a file name that is identical to the name of a program  
already stored in memory, the message “Already Exists” appears. When this happens, you  
can perform either of the following two operations to correct the situation.  
8-5  
- Press ) to clear the error and return to the file name editing screen.  
- Press   to clear the input file name and input a new one.  
I Deleting a Program  
S To delete a specific program  
1. While the program list is on the display, use D and A to move the highlighting to the  
name of the program you want to delete.  
2. Press (DEL).  
3. Press (YES) to delete the selected program or (NO) to abort the operation without  
deleting anything.  
S To delete all programs  
1. While the program list is on the display, press (DEL A).  
2. Press (YES) to delete all the programs in the list or (NO) to abort the operation  
without deleting anything.  
You also can delete all programs by entering the MEMORY mode from the Main Menu. See  
“Chapter 11 Memory Manager” for details.  
I Registering a password  
When inputting a program, you can protect it with a password that limits access to the program  
contents to those who know the password.  
You do not need to input the password to run a program.  
• The password input procedure is identical to that used for file name input.  
1. While the program list is on the display, press (NEW) and input the file name of the new  
program file.  
2. Press (0) and then input the password.  
3. Press U to register the file name and password. Now you can input the contents of the  
program file.  
4. After inputting the program, press  
)(QUIT) to  
exit the program file and return to the program list.  
Files that are password protected are indicated by an  
asterisk to the right of the file name.  
I Recalling a Password Protected Program  
1. In the program list, use D and A to move the highlighting to the name of the program you  
want to recall.  
2. Press (EDIT).  
3. Input the password and press U to recall the program.  
• Inputting the wrong password when recalling a password protected program causes the  
message “Mismatch” to appear.

I Basic Operation Commands  
? (Input Command)  
Function: Prompts for input of values for assignment to variables during program execution.  
Syntax: ? m <variable name>, "<prompt>" ? m <variable name>  
Example: ? m A=  
Description:  
• This command momentarily interrupts program execution and prompts for input of a value  
or expression for assignment to a variable. If you do not specify a prompt, execution of this  
command causes “?” to appear indicating the calculator is standing by for input. If a prompt  
is specified, “<prompt>?” appears to prompt input. Up to 255 bytes of text can be used for a  
prompt.  
• Input in response to the input command must be a value or an expression, and the  
expression cannot be a multi-statement.  
You can specify a list name, matrix name, string name, function memory (fn), graph (Yn), etc.  
as a variable name.  
< (Output Command)  
Function: Displays an intermediate result during program execution.  
Description:  
• This command momentarily interrupts program execution and displays alpha character text  
or the result of the calculation immediately before the command.  
• The output command should be used at locations where you would normally press the U  
key during a manual calculation.  
: (Multi-statement Command)  
Function: Connects two statements for sequential execution without stopping.  
Description:  
• Unlike the output command (<), statements connected with the multi-statement command  
are executed non-stop.  
• The multi-statement command can be used to link two calculation expressions or two  
commands.  
You can also use a carriage return indicated by = in place of the multi-statement command.  
= (Carriage Return)  
Function: Connects two statements for sequential execution without stopping.  
Description:  
• Operation of the carriage return is identical to that of the multi-statement command.  
You can create a blank line in a program by inputting a carriage return only. Using a carriage  
return in place of the multi-statement command makes the displayed program easier to read.  
’ (Comment Text Delimiter)  
Function: Indicates comment text inserted inside a program.  
Description: Anything following the apostrophe is treated as non-executable comment text.  
8-8  
I Program Commands (COM)  
If~Then~(Else~)IfEnd  
Function: The Then-statement is executed only when the If-condition is true (non-zero). The  
Else-statement is executed when the If-condition is false (0). The IfEnd-statement is always  
executed following either the Then-statement or Else-statement.  
Syntax:

Else <statement>  
<statement>  
Parameters: condition, numeric expression  
Description:  
(1) If ~ Then ~ IfEnd  
• When the condition is true, execution proceeds with the Then-statement and then  
continues with the statement following IfEnd.  
• When the condition is false, execution jumps to the statement following IfEnd.  
(2) If ~ Then ~ Else ~ IfEnd  
• When the condition is true, execution proceeds with the Then-statement and then jumps  
to the statement following IfEnd.  
• When the condition is false, execution jumps to the Else-statement and then continues  
with the statement following IfEnd.  
For~To~(Step~)Next  
Function: This command repeats everything between the For-statement and the Next-  
statement. The starting value is assigned to the control variable with the first execution, and  
the value of the control variable is changed according to the step value with each execution.  
Execution continues until the value of the control variable exceeds the ending value.  
Syntax: For <starting value> m <control variable name> To <ending value>  
_
:
^
Step <step value>  
Next  
Parameters:  
• control variable name: A to Z  
• starting value: value or expression that produces a value (i.e. sin x, A, etc.)  
• ending value: value or expression that produces a value (i.e. sin x, A, etc.)  
• step value: numeric value (default: 1)  
Description:  
• The default step value is 1.  
• Making the starting value less than the ending value and specifying a positive step value  
causes the control variable to be incremented with each execution. Making the starting  
value greater than the ending value and specifying a negative step value causes the control  
variable to be decremented with each execution.  
8-9  
Do~LpWhile  
Function: This command repeats specific commands as long as its condition is true (non-  
zero).  
Syntax:  
_
:
_
:
Do  
<statement>  
LpWhile  
<condition>  
numeric expression  
^
^
Parameters: expression  
Description:  
• This command repeats the commands contained in the loop as long as its condition is true  
(non-zero). When the condition becomes false (0), execution proceeds from the statement  
following the LpWhile-statement.  
• Since the condition comes after the LpWhile-statement, the condition is tested (checked)  
after all of the commands inside the loop are executed.  
While~WhileEnd  
Function: This command repeats specific commands as long as its condition is true (non-  
zero).  
Syntax:  
_
:
_
:
While  
<condition>  
<statement>  
WhileEnd  
numeric expression  
^
^
Parameters: expression  
Description:  
• This command repeats the commands contained in the loop as long as its condition is true  
(non-zero). When the condition becomes false (0), execution proceeds from the statement  
following the WhileEnd-statement.  
• Since the condition comes after the While-statement, the condition is tested (checked) before  
the commands inside the loop are executed.  
I Program Control Commands (CTL)  
Break  
Function: This command breaks execution of a loop and continues from the next command  
following the loop.  
Syntax: Break=  
Description:  
• This command breaks execution of a loop and continues from the next command following  
the loop.  
• This command can be used to break execution of a For-statement, Do-statement, and While-  
statement.  
8-10  
Prog  
Function: This command specifies execution of another program as a subroutine. In the  
RUNMAT (or RUN) mode, this command executes a new program.  
Syntax: Prog "file name"=  
Example: Prog "ABC"=  
Description:  
• Even when this command is located inside of a loop, its execution immediately breaks the  
loop and launches the subroutine.  
• This command can be used as many times as necessary inside of a main routine to call up  
independent subroutines to perform specific tasks.  
• A subroutine can be used in multiple locations in the same main routine, or it can be called  
up by any number of main routines.  
Main Routine

Prog "D"  
Prog "C"  
C
E
I
J
Prog "E"  
Prog "I"  
Prog "J"  
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4  
• Calling up a subroutine causes it to be executed from the beginning. After execution of the  
subroutine is complete, execution returns to the main routine, continuing from the statement  
following the Prog command.  
• A Goto~Lbl command inside of a subroutine is valid inside of that subroutine only. It cannot  
be used to jump to a label outside of the subroutine.  
• If a subroutine with the file name specified by the Prog command does not exist, an error  
occurs.  
• In the RUNMAT (or RUN) mode, inputting the Prog command and pressing U launches  
the program specified by the command.  
Return  
Function: This command returns from a subroutine.  
Syntax: Return=  
Description: Execution of the Return command inside a main routine causes execution of  
the program to stop. Execution of the Return command within a subroutine terminates the  
subroutine and returns to the program from which the subroutine was jumped to.  
Stop  
Function: This command terminates execution of a program.  
Syntax: Stop=  
Description:  
• This command terminates program execution.  
• Execution of this command inside of a loop terminates program execution without an error  
being generated.  
8-11  
I Jump Commands (JUMP)  
Dsz  
Function: This command is a count jump that decrements the value of a control variable by 1,  
and then jumps if the current value of the variable is zero.  
Syntax:  
Variable Value x 0  
_
:
^
Dsz <variable name> : <statement>  
Variable Value = 0  
<statement>  
Parameters: variable name: A to Z, r, Q  
[Example] Dsz B : Decrements the value assigned to variable B by 1.  
Description: This command decrements the value of a control variable by 1, and then tests  
(checks) it. If the current value is non-zero, execution continues with the next statement. If the  
current value is zero, execution jumps to the statement following the multi-statement command  
(:), display command (<), or carriage return (=).  
Goto~Lbl  
Function: This command performs an unconditional jump to a specified location.  
Syntax: Goto <label name> ~ Lbl <label name>  
Parameters: label name: value (0 to 9), variable (A to Z, r, Q)  
Description:  
• This command consists of two parts: Goto n (where n is a parameter as described above)  
and Lbl n (where n is the parameter referenced by Goto n). This command causes program  
execution to jump to the Lbl-statement whose n parameter matches that specified by the  
Goto-statement.  
• This command can be used to loop back to the beginning of a program or to jump to any  
location within the program.  
• This command can be used in combination with conditional jumps and count jumps.  
• If there is no Lbl-statement whose value matches that specified by the Goto-statement, an  
error occurs.  
Isz  
Function: This command is a count jump that increments the value of a control variable by 1,  
and then jumps if the current value of the variable is zero.  
Syntax:  
Variable Value x 0  
_
:
^
Isz <variable name> : <statement>  
Variable Value = 0  
<statement>  
Parameters: variable name: A to Z, r, Q  
[Example] Isz A : Increments the value assigned to variable A by 1.  
8-12  
Description: This command increments the value of a control variable by 1, and then tests  
(checks) it. If the current value is non-zero, execution continues with the next statement. If the  
current value is zero, execution jumps to the statement following the multi-statement command  
(:), display command (<), or carriage return (=).  
 (Jump Code)  
Function: This code is used to set up conditions for a conditional jump. The jump is executed  
whenever the conditions are false.  
Syntax:  
True  
_
:
^
<left side> <relational operator> <right side>  <statement>  
<statement>  
False  
Parameters:  
• left side/right side: variable (A to Z, r, Q), numeric constant, variable expression (such as:  
A × 2)  
• relational operator: =, x, >, <, r, b (page 8-18)  
Description:  
• The conditional jump compares the contents of two variables or the results of two  
expressions, and a decision is made whether or not to execute the jump based on the results  
of the comparison.  
• If the comparison returns a true result, execution continues with the statement following  
the  command. If the comparison returns a false result, execution jumps to the statements  
following the multi-statement command (:), display command (<), or carriage return (=).  
Menu  
Function: Creates a branching menu in a program.  
Syntax: Menu "<string (menu name)>", "<string (branch name) 1>", <value or variable 1>,  
"<string (branch name) 2>" ,<value or variable 2>, ... , "<string (branch name) n>", <value or  
variable n>  
Parameters: value (0 to 9), variable (A to Z, r, Q)

I Strings  
A string is a series of characters enclosed in double quotes. In a program, strings are used  
to specify display text. A string made up of numbers (like "123") or an expression (like "x–1")  
cannot be processed as a calculation.  
To display a string at a specific location on the screen, use the Locate command (page 8-17).  
To include double quotes (") or a backslash (\) in a string, put a backslash (\) in front of the  
double quotes (") or backslash (\).  
Example 1: To include Japan: “Tokyo” in a string  
"Japan:\"Tokyo\""  
Example 2: To include main\abc in a string  
"main\\abc"  
You can input a backslash from the menu that appears when you press (CHAR)(SYBL)  
in the PRGM mode, or from the String category of the catalog that appears when you press  
C(CATALOG).  
You can assign strings to string memory (Str 1 through Str 20). For details about strings, see  
“String Memory” (page 2-7).  
You can use the “+” command (page 8-20) to connect strings inside of an argument.

produced.  
Purpose  
This program accepts input of natural number A, and divides it by B (2, 3, 5, 7....) to find the  
prime factors of A.  
• If a division operation does not produce a remainder, the result of the operation is assigned  
to A.  
• The above procedure is repeated until B > A.

2. Basic Spreadsheet Operations  
This section explains spreadsheet file operations, how to move the cursor and select one or  
more cells, and how to enter and edit data.  
I Spreadsheet File Operations  
S To create a new file  
1. Press (FILE)(NEW).  
2. On the dialog box that appears, enter up to eight characters for the file name, and then  
press U.  
• This will create a new file and display a blank spreadsheet.  
• A new file will not be created it there is already a file with the same file name you enter in  
step 2. Instead, the existing file will be opened.  
9-2  
S To open a file  
1. Press (FILE)(OPEN).  
2. On the file list that appears, use D and A to select the file you want and then press U.  
S Auto Save  
In the S SHT mode, Auto Save saves the currently open file automatically whenever you edit  
it. This means you do not need to perform any manual save operation.  
S To save a file under a new name  
1. Press (FILE)(SV AS).  
2. On the dialog box that appears, enter up to eight characters for the new file name, and then  
press U.  
• If a file already exists with the same file name you enter in step 2, a message will appear  
asking if you want to replace the existing file with the new one. Press (Yes) to replace  
the existing file, or (No) to cancel the save operation and return to the file name input  
dialog box in step 2.  
S To delete a file  
1. Press (FILE)(OPEN).  
2. On the file list that appears, use D and A to select the file you want to delete and then  
press (DEL).  
3. This causes a confirmation message to appear. Press (Yes) to delete the file, or (No)  
to cancel without deleting anything.  
4. To return to the spreadsheet from the file list, press ).  
• Deleting the currently open file will automatically create a new file named “SHEET” and  
display its spreadsheet.  
I Recalculating All of the Formulas in the Currently Open Spreadsheet  
The S SHT mode has an Auto Calc features that automatically recalculates all of the formulas  
in a spreadsheet whenever you open it or perform any editing operation. Auto Calc is enabled  
under initial factory default settings.You also can execute a recalculation manually, if you want.  
S Auto Calc  
Auto Calc is an S SHT mode Setup item (page 1-29).  
When Auto Calc is enabled (On), all of the formulas in a spreadsheet are recalculated when  
the spreadsheet is opened or when any editing operation is performed. It should be noted,  
however, that recalculation can slow down the overall processing speed. When Auto Calc is  
disabled (Off), you need to execute recalculation manually as required.  
S To execute spreadsheet re-calculation manually  
Press (FILE)(RECAL). This recalculates all of the formulas in the currently open file and  
displays the applicable results.  
9-3  
I Using the Cell Cursor  
The cell cursor shows the cell that is selected on a spreadsheet. The highlighted cell is the one  
that is currently selected by the cell cursor.  
Cell cursor  
Edit box  
When a single cell is selected by the cell cursor, the contents of that cell are displayed in the  
edit box. The cell contents can be edited in the edit box.  
When a multiple cells are selected by the cell cursor, the selection range is displayed in the  
edit box. In this case, you can copy, delete, or perform other cell operations on the entire range  
of selected cells.  
S To select cells  
To select this:  
Do this:  
A single cell  
Use the cursor keys to move the cell cursor to the cell  
you want, or use the JUMP comment to jump directly  
to the cell.  
A range of cells  
See “To select a range of cells” (page 9-5).  
An entire row of cells  
Move the cell cursor to column A of the row whose  
cells you want to select and then press B. Pressing  
B while the cell cursor is located at cell A2, for  
example, will select the entire second row (from A2 to  
Z2). This will cause A2:Z2 (which indicates the selected  
range) to appear in the edit box.  
An entire column of cells.  
Move the cell cursor to row 1 of the column whose cells  
you want to select and then press D. Pressing D  
while the cell cursor is located at cell C1, for example,  
will select the entire column C (from C1 to C999).  
This will cause C1:C999 (which indicates the selected  
range) to appear in the edit box.  
All of the cells in the spreadsheet  
Press B while the entire column A is selected or  
press D while the entire row 1 is selected. This will  
select all of the cells in the spreadsheet and display the  
spreadsheet file name in the edit box.  
9-4  
S Using the JUMP Command to Move the Cell Cursor  
To move the cell cursor to here:  
Do this:  
A particular cell  
1. Press (EDIT)(JUMP)(GO).  
2. On the dialog box that appears, enter the name  
of the cell (A1 to Z999) to which you want to  
jump.  
3. Press U.  
Line 1 of the current column  
Column A of the current row  
Last line of the current column  
Column Z of the current row  
Press (EDIT)(JUMP)(TOPl).  
Press (EDIT)(JUMP)(TOPk).  
Press (EDIT)(JUMP)(BOTn).  
Press (EDIT)(JUMP)(BOTm).  
S To select a range of cells  
1. Move the cell cursor to the start point of the range of cells you want to select.  
You could select and entire row or column of cells as the start point, if you want. For details  
about selecting cells, see “To select cells” on page 9-4.  
2. Press  
G(CLIP).  
• This will change the cell cursor to a thick-line boundary instead of the normal highlighting.  
3. Use the cursor keys to move the cell cursor to the end  
point of the range of cells you want to select.  
• The edit box will show the range of the selected cells.  
To cancel cell selection, press ). If you do, the cell  
cursor will be located at the end point of the range you  
selected.  
I Data (Constants,Text, Formula) Input Basics  
First let’s have a look at a few basic procedures that apply regardless of the type of data you  
are inputting.  
S To overwrite data currently in a cell with new data  
1. Move the cell cursor to the cell where you want to input data.  
• If the cell you select already contains data, the following step will overwrite the existing  
data with new input.  
2. Use the calculator’s keys to input data.  
• As you perform key operations to input values or text  
(such as @, ?J(B), etc.), the applicable figures  
will appear aligned left inside the edit box.  
To cancel an input operation part way through at any  
point before advancing to step 3 below, press ). This  
will return the cell contents to what they were in step 1  
of this procedure.  
3. To finalize and apply your input, press U.  
9-5  
S To edit cell data  
1. Move the cell cursor to the cell whose contents you want to edit.  
2. Press (EDIT)(CELL).  
• Cell contents in the edit box will change from align left  
to align right. A text cursor will appear in the edit box so  
you can edit its contents.  
3. Use C and B to move the cursor around the contents of the cell, and edit them as  
required.  
To cancel an edit operation part way through at any point before advancing to step 4  
below, press ). This will return the cell contents to what they were in step 1 of this  
procedure.  
4. To finalize and apply your edits, press U.  
S To move the cell cursor while inputting data into a cell  
Under factory default settings, pressing U while inputting data into a cell will cause the cell  
cursor to move to the next line.You can specify movement to the next column instead using the  
“Move” setting as described on page 1-29.  
I Inputting a Constant (Value, Calculation Result, Number Sequence) into  
a Cell  
A constant is something whose value is fixed as soon as you finalize its input. A constant can  
be either a numeric value, or a calculation formula (such as 7+3, sin30, A1s2, etc.) that does  
not have an equal sign ꢀꢁ in front of it. Inputting QB?U, for example will cause the  
value 0.5 (the calculation result) to appear in the cell (when Deg is selected as the Angle unit).  
S To input a number sequence automatically based on a function expression  
1. Move the cell cursor to the cell where you want number sequence input to start.  
• Under initial default settings, automatic input of the number sequence will proceed  
downwards from the start cell.You can specify a different direction using the “Move” setting  
as described on page 1-29.  
2. Press (EDIT)(SEQ) to display the Sequence screen, and then specify the function  
expression and values required to generate the required number sequence.  
You can input data for the item that is highlighted on  
the screen.  
Reference name of the cell selected in step 1  
9-6  
Item  
Description  
Expr  
Input the function expression f(x) for generating the number sequence.  
Example: ?(X)Vꢄ@U (X2 + 1)  
Var  
Input the variable name used in the function expression input for Expr.  
Example: ?(X)U (X)  
1
Start  
Input the starting value (X ) of the value to be substituted for the variable  
specified by Var.  
Example: AU  
n
End  
Input the ending value (X ) of the value to be substituted for the variable  
specified by Var.  
Example: @?U  
Incre  
1
2
1
Input the increment value (m) for successive value of X , as in: (X = X + m),  
3
2
(X = X + m), and so on. The number sequence is generated in the range of  
1
n
X + (n – 1) m  X .  
Example: AU  
1st Cell  
Input the reference name (A1, B2, etc.) of the cell where you want the first  
value of the number sequence to be input. Specify a cell here only if the  
starting cell is different from the one you specified in step 1 of this procedure.  
Example: ?J(B)@U (B1)  
• Each time you press U after inputting data for a setting item, the highlighting will move to  
the next setting item.You also can use D and A to move the highlighting upwards and  
downwards as required.  
• Performing the next step will input the number string automatically starting from the  
specified cell. If any cell that is within the range of cells where the number sequence  
values will be input already contains data, the existing data will be replaced with the  
number sequence values.  
3. After inputting data for all the setting items, press (EXE) or the U key to start number  
sequence generation and input.  
I Inputting Text into a Cell  
To input text, make sure the first thing you input into the cell is ?$(”). The quote mark (")  
tells the calculator that what follows is text, and should be displayed as-is without calculation.  
The quote mark (") is not displayed as part of the text.  
9-7  
I Inputting a Formula into a Cell  
For the sake of example, let’s try making a table that contains data based on the formula  
<PRICE> s <QUANTITY> = <TOTAL>. To do this, we would put <PRICE> values in column  
A, <QUANITY> values in column B, and calculation formulas (like = A1 s B1, = A2 s B2, and  
so on) in column C. If the Auto Calc feature is enabled (On), the values in column C would be  
recalculated and updated any time we change the values in column A or B.  
In this example, note that we must start out the data in column C with the equal sign ꢀꢁ in  
order to indicate it is a formula. In addition to values, arithmetic operators, and cell reference  
names, a formula also can contain built-in function commands (page 2-11) and special S SHT  
mode commands (page 9-14).

Procedure  
1. Input the text for line 1, and the applicable values in cells A2 through B4.  
2. Move the cursor to cell C2, and input the formula for A2 s B2.  
ꢀꢁ ?T(A)A  
?J(B)AU  
3. Copy the formula in cell C2 and copy it into cells C3 and C4. Move the cell cursor to cell C2  
and then perform the following operation.  
(EDIT)(COPY)A(PASTE)A(PASTE))  
• For details about the copy and paste operations, see  
“Copying and Pasting Cell Contents” (page 9-10).  
I Inputting a Cell Reference Name  
Each cell on a spreadsheet has what is called a “reference name”, which is derived by  
combining its column name (A through Z) with its row name (1 through 999). A cell reference  
name can be used inside of a formula, which makes the value of the called cell part of the  
formula. See “Inputting a Formula into a Cell” above for more information. There are two  
methods you can use to input a cell reference name: direct input of the name and input using  
the GRAB command. The following illustrates how you would use each of these methods to  
input =A1+5 into cell B1.  
9-8  
S To input a cell reference name using direct input  
Move the cell cursor to cell B1 and then perform the following operation.  
ꢀꢁ ?T(A)@ꢄDU  
S To input a cell reference name using the GRAB command  
Move the cell cursor to cell B1 and then perform the following operation.  
ꢀꢁ (GRAB)B(SET)ꢄDU  
• Commands (GO) through (BOTm) on the submenu that appears when you press  
(GRAB) are identical to commands (GO) through (BOTm) of the JUMP command  
submenu. See “Using the JUMP Command to Move the Cell Cursor” on page 9-5 about  
these commands.  
I Relative and Absolute Cell Reference Names  
There are two types of cell reference names: relative and absolute. Normally, cell reference  
names are treated as being relative.  
Relative Cell Reference Names  
In the formula =A1+5, the cell reference name A1 indicates a relative cell reference. It is  
“relative” because copying the formula and pasting in a different cell will cause the cell  
reference name to change in accordance with the location of cell where it is pasted. If the  
formula =A1+5 is originally located in cell B1, for example, copying at pasting in cell C3 will  
result in =B3+5 in cell C3. Moving from column A to column B (one column) causes A to  
change to B, while moving from row 1 to row 3 changes (two rows) changes the 1 to 3.  
Important!: If the result of a copy and paste operation causes a relative cell reference name  
to change to something that is outside the range of the spreadsheet cells, the applicable  
column letter and/or row number will be replaced by a question mark (?), and “ERROR” will be  
displayed as the cell’s data.  
Absolute Reference Names  
If you want the row or the column, or both the row and the column parts of a cell reference  
name to remain the same to matter where you paste them, you need to create an absolute cell  
reference name.You do this by affixing a dollar sign ($) in front of the part of the cell reference  
name you want to remain unchanged.You have three options when using the dollar sign ($)  
to create an absolute cell reference name: absolute column with relative row ($A1), relative  
column with absolute row (A$1), and absolute row and column ($A$1).  
S To input the absolute cell reference name symbol ($)  
When inputting a cell reference into a spreadsheet cell, press ($).  
For example, the following key operation inputs the absolute cell reference name = $B$1  
ꢀꢁ ($)?J(B)($)@  
9-9  
I Copying and Pasting Cell Contents  
You can copy the contents of one or more cells and paste them into another location. Once  
you perform the copy operation, you can copy the contents to multiple locations, if you want.  
S To copy and paste spreadsheet data  
1. Select the cell(s) you want to copy.  
• See “To select cells” (page 9-4) for more information.  
2 Press (EDIT)(COPY).  
• This will go into paste standby for the selected data, indicated by the  menu item  
changing to (PASTE).  
You can exit the paste standby at any time before you perform step 4 below by pressing  
).  
3. Use the cursor keys to move the cell cursor to location where you want to paste the data.  
• If you selected a range of cells in step 1, the cell you select with the cell cursor will be the  
upper left cell of the paste range.  
• If the location you select is within the range that you copied, performing step below will  
cause the exiting data to be overwritten with the pasted data.  
4. Press (PASTE).  
• This will paste the copied data.  
To paste the same data in other locations, repeat steps 3 and 4.  
5. After you are finish pasting the data, press ) to exit paste standby.  
I Cutting and Pasting Cell Contents  
You can use cut and paste to move the contents of one or more cells to another location. Cell  
contents (regardless of whether it includes relative or absolute cell name references) generally  
are unchanged by a cut and paste operation.  
Cutting the formula =A1+5 in cell B1 and pasting it into cell B2. The A1 reference name is  
unchanged.  
When you are cut and paste a range cells, reference names that affect relationships within  
the range are changed accordingly when the range is pasted in order to maintain the correct  
relationship, regardless of whether they are relative or absolute reference names.  
9-10  
Cutting the B1:C1 range of cells that includes the formula =B1+5 and pasting it into B2:C2.  
The formula pasted into C2 is changed to =B2+5 in order to maintain the relationship with  
the cell to the left, which was also part of the pasted range.  
S To cut and paste spreadsheet data  
1. Select the cell(s) you want to cut.  
• See “To select cells” (page 9-4) for more information.  
2 Press (EDIT)(CUT).  
• This will go into paste standby for the selected data, indicated by the  menu item  
changing to (PASTE).  
You can exit the paste standby at any time before you perform step 4 below by pressing  
).  
3. Use the cursor keys to move the cell cursor to location where you want to paste the data.  
• If you selected a range of cells in step 1, the cell you select with the cell cursor will be the  
upper left cell of the paste range.  
• If the location you select is within the range that you cut, performing step below will cause  
the exiting data to be overwritten with the pasted data.  
4. Press (PASTE).  
• This will paste the data from the cell(s) you selected in step 1 and paste it into the location  
you selected in step 3.  
• Regardless of whether Auto Calc is enabled or disabled (page 9-3), pasting cut data will  
cause all of the formulas in the spreadsheet to be recalculated.  
I Inputting the Same Formula into a Range of Cells  
Use the Fill command when you want to input the same formula into a specified range of cells.  
The rules governing relative and absolute cell name references are the same as those for copy  
and paste.  
When you need to input the same formula into cells B1, B2, and B3, for example, the Fill  
command lets you do so by inputting the formula once, into cell B1. Note the following about  
how the Fill command handles cell name references in this case.  
When cell B1 contains this: The Fill command will do this:  
=A1s2  
A
B
1
2
3
=A1s2  
=A2s2  
=A3s2  
* Note that in actual practice  
cells B1, B2, and B3  
will show the calculation  
results, not the formulas as  
shown here.  
=$A$2s2  
A
B
1
2
3
=$A$2s2  
=$A$2s2  
=$A$2s2  
9-11  
S To input the same formula into a range of cells  
1. Select the range of cells into which you want to input the same formula.  
• In this example we will assume the B1:B3 is selected. See “To select a range of cells”  
(page 9-5).  
2 Press (EDIT)(E)(FILL).  
3. On the Fill screen that appears, enter the formula you want to input.  
You can input data for the item that is  
highlighted on the screen.  
This is the range of cells you selected in step 1.  
• In the “Formula” line, input =A1s2 (  
ꢀꢁ ?T(A)@  
AU). Pressing U will  
cause the cell cursor to move to the “Cell Range” line.  
• If any cell within the cell range already contains data, performing the next step will cause  
the existing data to be overwritten with the new fill data (formula).  
4. Press (EXE) or the U key.  
• This will input the formula into the range of cells you specified.  
I Sorting Constant Data  
Note that only constant data can be sorted.You can select multiple columns within a single line  
or multiple lines within a single column for sorting.  
S To sort constant data  
1. Select a range of column cells in a single row or a range of row cells in a single column.  
• See “To select a range of cells” (page 9-5).  
• A Syntax ERROR message will appear if any of the cells in the range you select contain  
data other than constant data.  
2. Depending on the type of sort you want to perform, perform either one of the following  
operations.  
To sort ascending: (EDIT)(E)(SRT A)  
To sort descending: (EDIT)(E)(SRT D)  
I Deleting and Inserting Cells  
S To delete an entire line or column of cells  
Select the row(s) or column(s) you want to delete and then press (DEL). This will delete the  
selected row(s) or column(s) immediately, without displaying a confirmation message.  
You also can perform the following steps to delete a row or column.  
9-12  
1. Select one or more cells inside the row(s) or column(s) you want to delete.  
• If you want to delete lines 2 through 4, for example, you could select A2:B4, C2:C4, or any  
other range of cells that includes the lines to be deleted.  
• If you want to delete columns A and B, for example, you could select A1:B1, A2:B4, etc.  
2. Press (DEL).  
• This enters delete standby. If you decide you want to cancel the delete operation at this  
time, press ).  
3. To delete the entire line(s) that include the cells you selected in step 1, press (ROW). To  
delete the entire column, press (COL).  
S To delete the contents of all the cells in a spreadsheet  
1. Press (DEL)(ALL).  
2. In response to the confirmation message that appears, press (Yes) to delete the data or  
(No) to cancel without deleting anything.  
S To insert a row or column of blank cells  
1. Perform one of the following operations to specify the location of the insert and the number  
of rows or columns to be inserted.  
• To insert rows  
Starting with the row immediately below of the row where you want the insert to be  
performed, select the same number of rows that you want to insert.  
Example: To insert three rows above row 2, you could select A2:A4, B2:C4, etc.  
• To insert columns  
Starting with the column immediately to the right of the column where you want the insert  
to be performed, select the same number of columns that you want to insert.  
Example: To insert three columns to the left of column B, you could select B2:D4,  
B10:D20, etc.  
2. Press (INS).  
• This will enter insert standby. If you decide you want to cancel the insert operation at this  
time, press ).  
3. Press (ROW) to insert the applicable number of rows or (COL) to insert columns.

4. Drawing Statistical Graphs, and Performing  
Statistical and Regression Calculations  
When you want to check the correlation between two sets of data (such as temperature and  
the price of some product), trends become easier to spot if you draw a graph that uses one set  
of data as the x-axis and the other set of data as the y-axis.  
With the spreadsheet you can input the values for each set of data and draw a scatter plot or  
other types of graphs. Performing regression calculations on the data will produce a regression  
formula and correlation coefficient, and you can overlay a regression graph over the scatter  
plot.  
S SHT mode graphing, statistical calculations, and regression calculations use the same  
functions as the STAT mode. The following shows an operation example that is unique to the  
S SHT mode.

List Editor operations in the eActivity mode are identical to those in the STAT mode (“Inputting  
and Editing a List”, page 3-1). This processing and calculations are fundamentally the  
identical to those in the RUN MAT mode (“Manipulating List Data” on page 3-5, “Arithmetic  
Calculations Using Lists” on page 3-10). Note, however, that eActivity mode List Editor  
operations and list calculations differ from those in other modes as described below.  
• The eActivity mode List Editor function menu provides only screen two of the STAT mode  
List Editor function menu.  
To return to the workspace screen from the List Editor in the eActivity mode, press ).  
• In the eActivity mode, values for list variables are saved separately for each file. List variable  
values will be different from those produced when called from a non-eActivity mode.  
I Inserting a Calculation Stop Line  
Pressing U after you edit a calculation line on a workspace screen that contains multiple  
calculation lines will cause all of the calculations following the edited line to be re-calculated.  
Re-calculation can take quite a bit of time if there are a large number of calculation lines or  
if some of the calculations are complex. Inserting a calculation stop line will stop the re-  
calculation process at the point where the line is located.  
S To insert a stop line  
On the function menu, select {INS} and then {STOP} to insert a stop line above the currently  
selected line or strip.  
I Using Strips  
Strips are tools that let you embed built-in application data into an eActivity file. Only one  
built-in application screen can be associated with each strip, and the strip can store the data  
(graphs, etc.) produced by the screen.  
The table below shows the built-in application screens that can be inserted into strips. The  
“Strip Name” column shows the names included on the dialog box that appears when you  
press (STRP).

S Notes Strips  
“Notes” is a special eActivity text editor that comes in handy when you want to write long text  
explanations on the workspace screen.You can call up the Notes screen from a Notes strip on  
the workspace screen. Input and editing operations on the Notes screen are identical to those  
you use for an eActivity text line.  
The following describes the Notes screen function menu items.  
• {JUMP}... Displays a JUMP menu that you can use to jump to the top ((TOP)) of the data,  
the bottom ((BTM)) of the data, the previous page ((PgUp)), or the next page

I Saving a File  
Use the procedures in this section to save a file after inputting or editing it on the workspace  
screen.  
An eActivity file for OS Version 2.00 or later may have a file name extension of “g2e”.  
Performing either of the following operations on a calculator model covered by this manual  
(with OS Version 2.00 or later operating system) to save an eActivity file always will cause the  
extension “g2e” to be appended to the file name.  
• Saving a newly created file  
• Saving an existing file using the “save as” operation ((FILE)(SV-AS))  
If you save an eActivity file using a calculator model covered by this manual to save a file with  
a file name extension “g1e” (a file transferred from an older version calculator), the file name  
extension will be determined according to the following rules.  
• The “g2e” extension is used for an eActivity file that includes data for new features (except for  
math functions and commands) added by OS Version 2.00 or later.  
Here, the expression “data for new features added by OS Version 2.00 or later” means, for  
example, calculation result data displayed in or P format.  
• The “g1e” extension is used for eActivity files other than those described above.  
10-11  
S To replace the existing file with the new version  
Press (FILE)(SAVE) to save the currently open file.  
S To save a file under a new name  
1. On the eActivity workspace screen, press (FILE)(SV-AS).  
• This will display a file name input screen.  
2. Input up to 8 characters for the file name and then press U.  
• If a file already exists with the same file name you enter in step 2, a message will appear  
asking if you want to replace the existing file with the new one. Press (Yes) to replace  
the existing file, or (No) to cancel the save operation and return to the file name input  
dialog box in step 2.  
Important!  
• An eActivity file with the “g2e” file name extension cannot be opened on a calculator running  
an operating system older than OS Version 2.00.  
• Opening an eActivity file with the “g1e” filename extension, inputting functions added with  
OS Version 2.00 or later, and then saving the file may cause the new save to retain the “g1e”  
file name extension. Though you will be able to open such a file on a calculator running an  
operating system older than OS Version 2.00 (since it has the “g1e” file name extension), you  
will not be able to use the math functions and commands added since OS Version 2.00.  
I Displaying the eActivity Memory Usage Screen  
The maximum size of an eActivity file is approximately 30,000 bytes.* You can use the  
eActivity file memory usage screen to check how much memory capacity remains for the file  
you are currently working on.  
* Actual maximum file size depends on capture memory and clipboard memory usage, and  
may be less than 30,000 bytes.  
S To display the eActivity memory usage screen  
On the workspace screen, press (FILE)(CAPA).

5. eActivity Guide (fx-9860G Slim only)  
eActivity Guide is a function that helps you navigate through scientific function calculation  
operations.  
You can perform calculator operations simply by following the instructions that appear on the  
display.  
• Using eActivity Guide to prepare lessons makes it possible for students to become familiar  
with calculator operations without using the user’s guide.  
• Students can learn operations in the classroom are their own pace.  
Creating a Guide  
Key operations are recorded in each eActivity strip.You can also add comments about key  
operations.  
Since a guide records only key operations that are contained within a strip, operations  
performed after exiting the strip (to go to another strip, to go to another file) cannot be  
recorded.  
Running a Guide  
Running a guide that you created will sequentially display key operations and comments.  
The student can become familiar with calculator operations simply by performing input as  
instructed.  
Three Types of Operation Patterns  
eActivity Guide has three operation pattern types as described below. A guide can be created  
by combining these three patterns.  
• 1-key Operation: A comment is attached to each key operation.  
• n-key Operation: One comment is attached to a key operation sequence.  
• AUTO Operation: A key operation sequence is performed automatically, with one comment  
attached to the auto operation.  
(Examples: Graph and box zoom; specification of an integration graph  
range)

Chapter 11 Memory Manager  
fx-7400GII/fx-9750GII  
These models support the following data operations: data display, search, and delete.  
Important!  
fx-7400GII/fx-9750GII calculators are not equipped with storage memory or an SD card slot.  
Because of this, the storage memory and SD card memory operations described below are  
not supported.  
fx-9860GII/fx-9860GII SD/fx-9860G AU PLUS/fx-9860G Slim  
These models are equipped with both a main memory and a storage memory, so the following  
data operations are supported: data display, search, and delete, as well as data copy between  
memories.  
The main memory is a work area where you can input data, perform calculations, and run  
programs. Data in the main memory is relatively safe, but it can be deleted by batteries going  
dead or when you perform a full reset.  
The storage memory uses “flash memory,” so data is safe even when power is interrupted.  
Normally, you should use the storage memory for data you need to store securely for long  
periods, loading data into the main memory only when you need it.  
• Use of SD card memory (when an SD card is loaded in the SD card slot) also is supported  
by the fx-9860GII SD.  
1. Using the Memory Manager  
From the Main Menu, select the MEMORY icon to enter the MEMORY mode.  
• On the fx-7400GII/fx-9750GII, the main memory  
information screen shown to the right will appear. For

• fx-9860GII SD, fx-9860GII, fx-9860G AU PLUS, fx-9750GII, fx-7400GII  
• fx-9860G Slim, fx-9860G SD, fx-9860G and fx-9860G AU whose operating systems have  
been updated to Version 2.00  
An OS 2.00 calculator supports data exchange with the following calculator models.  
OS 2.00 calculators, fx-9860G series, fx-7400G series, CFX-9850G series  
When you perform a data exchange operation with the above calculator models, the OS 2.00  
calculator will decide whether or not specific data can be sent or received, and convert data  
as required. The following describes the basic operations that are performed when exchanging  
data between an OS 2.00 calculator and another model calculator.  
• Sending data from the OS 2.00 calculator to another calculator model  
Data that is supported by the OS 2.00 calculator but is not supported by the receiving model  
either is not sent or is converted to a format supported by the receiving model before it is  
sent.  
• Sending data from another calculator model to an OS 2.00 calculator  
Basically, data sent from another calculator model is received as it is. However, when there is  
a difference between an OS 2.00 calculator function and the function of the sending model,  
the OS 2.00 calculator will convert the data as required.  
The following provides details about data compatibility between an OS 2.00 calculator and  
other calculator models.

Chapter 14 Using SD Cards  
(fx-9860Gɉ SD only)  
You can use SD cards to store calculator data.You can copy main memory and  
storage memory data to and from an SD card.  
TM  
Important!  
• Always use an SD memory card. Operation is not guaranteed when another type of memory  
card is used.  
• Be sure to read the user documentation that comes with an SD card before using it.  
• Certain types of SD cards can slow down processing speeds.  
• Certain types of SD cards and operating conditions can shorten battery life.  
• SD cards have a write protect switch, which protects against accidental erasure of data. Note,  
however, that you need to remove write protection before you can copy data to or delete data  
from, or format a disk that is write-protected.  
• Static electric charge, electric noise, and other phenomena can delete or corrupt card data  
unexpectedly. Because of this you should always backup valuable data to other media (CD-R,  
CD-RW, MO disk, hard disk, etc.)  
• SD Logo is a trademark.  
1. Using an SD Card  
Important!  
• Always turn off the calculator before inserting or removing an SD card.  
• Note that a card needs to be oriented correctly (proper side must be facing upwards, the  
proper end must be inserted) when inserting it into the calculator. Trying to force card into the  
slot while it is oriented incorrectly can damage the card and slot.  
S Removing the Dummy Card  
Your calculator is shipped from the factory with a dummy card inserted in the SD card slot.  
Before using an SD card, first use the procedure under “To remove the SD card” on page  
14-2 to remove the dummy card.  
14  
14-1  
S To insert an SD card  
1. Orient the SD card so its back is facing upwards (in the same direction as the calculator  
keyboard).  
2. Carefully insert the SD card into the calculator’s SD card slot.  
Front  
Back  
Important!  
• Never insert anything other than SD cards into the SD card slot. Doing so can damage the  
calculator.  
• Should water or any foreign matter ever get into the SD card slot, immediately turn off  
the calculator, remove its batteries, and contact your original retailer or nearest CASIO  
authorized service center.  
S To remove the SD card  
1. Press in on the SD card and then release it.  
• This will cause the card to pop part way out of the slot.  
2. Grasp the SD card with your fingers and pull it out of the slot.  
Important!  
• Never remove the SD card while data is being transferred to it. Doing so not only stops the  
data you are transferring to the card from being saved, it can also corrupt SD card contents.  
• Exerting undue force when removing an SD card can damage the card slot or the card.  
14-2  
2. Formatting an SD Card  
• Use the procedure under “Reset” (page 12-3) to format an SD card.  
3. SD Card Precautions during Use  
• SD card problems can normally be corrected by reformatting the card. However, it is always a  
good idea to take along more than one SD card to avoid data storage problems.  
• Card formatting (initialization) is recommended before using a new SD card for the first time.  
• If an SD card has been formatted on a computer or other device, you can use it as-is without  
reformatting. A computer or other device also will be able to use an SD card that has been  
formatted with the calculator.  
• Never perform any of the following operations while the SD card is being accessed.  
- Removing the SD card  
- Connecting or disconnecting a USB cable  
- Turning off the calculator  
- When connected to a computer, exiting the FA-124 software or shutting down the computer  
• Note that an SD card needs to be oriented correctly (proper side must be facing upwards,  
the proper end must be inserted) when inserting it into the calculator. Trying to force an SD  
card into the slot when it is oriented incorrectly can damage the card and slot.  
• Use of certain SD cards while calculator battery power is low can cause the display to go  
blank without displaying the low battery warning message. If this happens, replace the  
batteries.

Using the Setup Wizard  
u To configure an EA-200 setup using Setup Wizard  
Before getting started...  
• Before starting the procedure below, make sure you first decide if you want to start  
sampling immediately using the setup you configure with Setup Wizard, or if you want to  
store the setup for later sampling.  
• See sections 6-1, 7-1, and 8-1 of this manual for information about procedures required to  
start sampling and to store a setup. We recommend that you read through the entire  
procedure first, referencing the other sections and pages as noted, before actually trying  
to perform it.  
To terminate Setup Wizard part way through and cancel the setup, press !J(QUIT).  
1. Display the E-CON2 main menu (page 1-1).  
2. Press 1(SET) and then 1(WIZ).

k Using Setup Wizard to Configure Settings for FFT (Frequency  
Characteristics) Data Sampling  
When you perform sound sampling executed the EA-200’s built-in microphone (by specifying  
[CASIO] - [Microphone] as the sensor), Setup Wizard will provide you with three options:  
[Sound wave], [Sound wave & FFT], and [FFT only]. “Sound wave” records the following two  
dimensions for the sampled sound data: elapsed time (horizontal axis) and volume (vertical  
axis). “FFT” records the following two dimensions: frequency (horizontal axis) and volume  
(vertical axis).  
The following shows the settings for recording FFT data.  
1. Perform the first two steps of the procedure under “To configure an EA-200 setup using  
Setup Wizard” on page 2-2.  
2. On the “Select Sensor” screen, select [CASIO] - [Microphone] - [Sound wave & FFT] or  
[CASIO] - [Microphone] - [FFT only].

Auto calibration automatically corrects the slope and intercept values of a custom probe  
setup based on two actual samples.  
Important!  
• Before performing the procedure below, you should prepare two conditions whose  
measurement values are known.  
• When inputting reference value in step 5 of the procedure below, input the exact known  
measurement value of the condition you will sample in step 4. When inputting reference  
value in step 7 of the procedure below, input the exact known measurement value of the  
condition you will sample in step 6.  
u To auto calibrate a custom probe  
1. Connect the calculator and EA-200, and connect the custom probe you want to auto  
calibrate to CH1 of the EA-200.  
2. What you should do first depends on whether you are configuring a new custom probe for  
calibration, or editing the configuration of an existing custom probe.  
If you are configuring a new custom probe:  
• Perform steps 1 through 6 of the procedure under “To configure a custom probe setup”  
on page 4-1.  
• Auto calibrate will automatically set the slope and intercept, so you do not need to  
specify them in step 6 of the above procedure.  
If you are editing the configuration of an existing custom probe:  
• Perform steps 1 through 3 of the procedure under “To edit a custom probe setup” on  
page 4-6.  
3. Press 2(CALIB).  
• This will start the first sampling operation with the sensor connected to EA-200’s CH1,  
and then display a screen like the one shown below.

sample using the applicable custom probe.  
u To zero adjust a custom probe  
1. Connect the calculator and EA-200, and connect the custom probe you want to zero  
adjust to CH1 of the EA-200.  
2. What you should do first depends on whether you are configuring a new custom probe for  
zero adjusting, or editing the configuration of an existing custom probe.  
If you are configuring a new custom probe:  
• Perform steps 1 through 6 of the procedure under “To configure a custom probe setup”  
on page 4-1.  
• Auto calibrate will automatically set the intercept, so you do not need to specify it in step  
6 of the above procedure.  
If you are editing the configuration of an existing custom probe:  
• Perform steps 1 through 3 of the procedure under “To edit a custom probe setup” on  
page 4-6.

u Econ Strip Memory Capacity Precautions  
• The memory capacity of each Econ strip is 25 KB. An error will occur if you perform an  
operation that causes this capacity to be exceeded. Particular care is required when  
handling a large number of samples, which can cause memory capacity to be exceeded.  
• Always make sure that FFT Graph is turned off whenever performing sampling with the  
microphone. Leaving FFT Graph turned on cause memory capacity to be exceeded.  
• If an error occurs, press !a(') to return to the eActivity workspace screen and  
perform the procedure again.  
• For information about checking the memory usage of each strip, see “10-5 eActivity File  
Memory Usage Screen” in the manual that comes with the fx-9860G SD or fx-9860G.
