Keying in Numbers You can key in a number that has up to 12 digits plus a 3-digit exponent up to ±499. If you try to key in a number larger than this, digit entry halts and the ¤ annunciator briefly appears. If you make a mistake while keying in a number, press b to backspace and delete the last digit, or press to clear the whole number. Making Numbers Negative The ^ key changes the sign of a number. To key in a negative number, type the number, then press ^. To change the sign of a number that was entered previously, just press ^. (If the number has an exponent, ^ affects only the mantissa - the non-exponent part of the number.) Exponents of Ten Exponents in the Display Numbers with exponents of ten (such as 4.2 × 10-5) are displayed with an preceding the exponent (such as ) .). A number whose magnitude is too large or too small for the display format will automatically be displayed in exponential form. For example, in FIX 4 format for four decimal places, observe the effect of the following keystrokes: Keys: Display: Description: .000062 .000042 Shows number being entered. Rounds number to fit the display format. Automatically uses scientific notation because otherwise no significant digits would appear. 1-14 Getting Started
