VARS and Y-VARS Menus Occasionally you may want to access the names of functions and system variables to use in an expression or to store to them directly. Use the VARS or Y.VARS menus to access the names of variables such as Xmin and functions such Y1. VARS Menu The VARS menu accesses the names of WINDOW variables such as Xmin and Tstep, the user-defined ZOOM variables such as ZXmin, graph databases and graph pictures such as GDB1 and Pic2, statistics variables such as v, RegEQ and Q1, and table variables such as TblMin. Press to display the VARS menu. Some of the items access more than one menu of variable names. VARS 1: Window... Names of X/Y, T/q, U/V variables 2: Zoom...
