Conversion Functions There are four types of conversions: coordinate (polar/rectangular), angular (degrees/radians), time (decimal/minutes-seconds), and unit (cm/in, °C/°F, l/gal, Kg/lb). Coordinate Conversions The function names for these conversions are y,x θ,r and θ,r y,x. Polar coordinates (r,θ) and rectangular coordinates (x,y) are measured as shown in the illustration. The angle θ uses units set by the current angular mode. A calculated result for θ will be between -180° and 180°, between -π and π radians, or between -200 and 200 grads. x r y θ To convert between rectangular and polar coordinates: 1. Enter the coordinates (in rectangular or polar form) that you want to convert. The order is y x or θ r. 2. Execute the conversion you want: press z q (rectangular-to-polar) or { r (polar-to-rectangular). The converted coordinates occupy the X- and Y-registers. 3. The resulting display (the X-register) shows either r (polar result) or x (rectangular result). Press Z to see θ or y.
