AUTOMATIC CALCULATION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This mode works in a similar manner to the manual mode but PRT Calc
supplies the inputs. To start this mode, highlight item 4 and press RETURN.
PRT Calc will display (and print if enabled) the header and then prompt you
for three pieces of information: start, end and interval. For example, If you
want the results for all values from 50 to 100 in steps of 0.5 then enter 50
as the start value, 100 as the end and 0.5 as the interval. PRT Calc
interprets your input but does not check for out of range values at this
stage (see Valid Keyboard Inputs). PRT Calc then asks you to confirm your
input and, if OK, it performs all the calculations automatically, displaying
(and printing) the results in two columns. It is at this stage that out of
range warnings are issued in the same manner as the manual mode.
Because of it's automatic nature, and the fact that any results scrolled
off the screen will be lost, it is advisable to always enable the printer
option before using this mode; assuming, of course, that you have a printer
connected).
