- Function Set Readme
- ===================
-
- MathU Pro 1.4 comes bundled with two example function sets: Units and MathU+.
-
- Installation
- ============
- Use the install tool (or equivalent) to install both mthUUnits.pdb and
- mthUMathU+.pdb (as well as MathUPro.prc, MathUEdit.prc, and MathLib.prc)
- on your Palm device.
-
- Units
- =====
- The units conversion function set supports eleven pairs of conversions:
-
- íF to/from íC
- ft to/from m (meters)
- in to/from cm
- miles to/from km
- sq ft to/from acre
- lbf (pound-force) to/from N (Netwons)
- lb (pound-mass) to/from kg
- oz to/from g (grams)
- BTU to/from J (Joules)
- atm to/from Pa (Pascals)
- gal to/from liters
-
- Example: How much is 10 kg in lbs?
-
- Ans: 10 f 4 produces 22.046 (to three digits)
-
- The conversion factors are known to at least 6 significant digits and
- are embedded in the program. If you find more accurate conversion
- factors you can update the constants yourself. Please send us what you
- have found (to support@creativecreek.com) and we will update the
- constants in future versions of the Units Function Set.
-
- MathU+
- ======
- The MathU+ is an alternative keyboard for MathU Pro. It adds five commonly
- requested functions to MathU Pro.
-
- %T Percent of total. Computes 100*y/x (y is the part, x is the total).
- R->P Rectangular to polar coordinate conversion. Maps (x,y) to (R,theta)
- P->R Polar to rectangular coordinate conversion. Maps (R,theta) to (x,y)
- H.MS Hours to Hours-Minutes-Seconds format.
- Hours Hours-Minutes-Seconds format to Hours
- CL STK Clear stack
-
- The Hours-Minutes-Seconds format is a packed decimal format
- of the form HH.MMSSss. For example the number 11.23524 is
- read as 11 hours, 23 minutes, 52.4 seconds. The Hours
- format is just hours and fractional hours. The previous
- example is the value 11.39788 hours. H.MS format is also
- known as the Degrees-Minutes-Seconds format.
-
- Care has been taken to maintain the values in the z and t stack registers.
- This done by saving and restoring them from local registers.
