Option 1. Tools.. contains functions used to operate on units (discussed later). Options 2. Length.. through 17.Viscosity.. contain menus with a number of units for each of the quantities described. For example, selecting option 8. Force.. shows the following units menu: The user will recognize most of these units (some, e.g., dyne, are not used very often nowadays) from his or her physics classes: N = newtons, dyn = dynes, gf = grams - force (to distinguish from gram-mass, or plainly gram, a unit of mass), kip = kilo-poundal (1000 pounds), lbf = pound-force (to distinguish from pound-mass), pdl = poundal. To attach a unit object to a number, the number must be followed by an underscore. Thus, a force of 5 N will be entered as 5_N. For extensive operations with units SOFT menus provide a more convenient way of attaching units. Change system flag 117 to SOFT menus (see Chapter 2), and use the keystroke combination ,Û to get the following menus. Press L to move to the next menu page. Page 3-8

Option
1. Tools..
contains functions used to operate on
units (discussed
later).
Options
2. Length..
through
17.Viscosity
.. contain menus with a
number of units for each of the quantities described.
For example,
selecting option
8. Force..
shows the following units menu:
The user will recognize most of these units (some, e.g., dyne, are not used
very often nowadays) from his or
her physics classes:
N
= newtons,
dyn
=
dynes,
gf
= grams – force (to distinguish from gram-mass, or plainly gram,
a unit of mass),
kip
= kilo-poundal (1000 pounds),
lbf =
pound-force (to
distinguish from pound-mass),
pdl =
poundal.
To attach a unit object to a number, the number must be followed by an
underscore.
Thus, a force of 5 N will be entered as 5_N.
For extensive operations with units SOFT menus provide a more convenient
way of attaching units.
Change system flag 117 to SOFT menus (see
Chapter 2), and use the keystroke combination
‚Û
to get the
following menus.
