VALID KEYBOARD INPUTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thermo Calc is fairly versatile in what inputs it will accept, but not
limitless. You can use normal numbers (E.G. 0.0015 or 2300), you can use
scientific notation (E.G. 1.5e-3 or 2.3e3), or you can use a suffix letter
(E.G. 1.5m or 2.3k). When using a suffix Thermo Calc will accept
f,p,n,u,m,k,M,G or T. It will even accept the Greek letter µ (mu) if you want
to be pedantic! Anything after the first letter is ignored so 1.5m is
sufficient for 1.5 mV. The suffix must NOT be placed in the middle of the
number, I.E.- 2k3 is NOT valid and will be interpreted as 2k. Commas must NOT
be included. 2,300 will be interpreted as 2.
Temperature inputs must be in the selected temperature scale. To change
the scale use item 7 in the main menu. All inputs must be within the
specified range, although inputs just outside the limits will be accepted and
a warning displayed. The valid range is displayed in the header.
