k Standard Mode and Decimal Mode
The Standard mode displays calculation results in mathematical expression format whenever possible, while the decimal mode converts calculation results to a decimal form. When the Decimal mode is selected, you can control the use of exponential notation with the [Display] setting on the Basic Format dialog box (page 14-3-1).
u Examples of Decimal mode and Standard mode result displays
Expression = 12.6 = 16.6666666. 2 +2 = 3.414213562. 3.+ 2.5 = 6.583333333. = 3.1415926535. sin (2.1) 5 = 1.5450849718. Decimal Mode Result 12.5 16.66666667 3.414213562 6.583333333 3.141592654 1.545084972 Standard Mode Result 2+ (1 + 5 ) 4
The Decimal mode results in the above table show what would appear on the display when Normal 1 is selected for the [Display] setting on the Basic Format dialog box.

2-2-6 Basic Calculations

u Using the u Button to Toggle between the Standard Mode and Decimal Mode
You can tap u to toggle a displayed value between Standard mode and Decimal mode format. Note that tapping u toggles the format of a displayed value. It does not change the current Standard mode/Decimal mode setting. Example 1: Tapping u while the ClassPad is configured for Standard mode (Normal 1) display Expression ClassPad Operation baa/gu (Switches to Decimal mode format.) u (Switches back to Standard mode format.) Example 2: Tapping u while the ClassPad is configured for Decimal mode (Normal 1) display Expression 2 + 2 = 3.414213562. ClassPad Operation 9c)+cu (Switches to Standard mode format.) u (Switches back to Decimal mode format.) Displayed Result 2+ 2 3.414213562 Displayed Result 16.3

= 16.6666666.

u Number of Decimal Places, Number of Significant Digits, Normal Display Settings
The [Display] settings on the Basic Format dialog box (page 14-3-1) specify the number of decimal places, the number of significant digits, and the normal display setting for Main application Decimal mode calculation results. The following shows how calculation results appear under each setting. Expression = 12.6 = 16.6666666. = 0.00166666. = 2.5E + 10 Normal 1 12.5 16.66666667 1.666666667E 3 2.5E + 10 Normal 2 12.5 16.66666667 0.00166666666 2.5E + 10 Fix 3 12.500 16.667 0.002 2.5E + 10 Sci 3 1.25E + 1 1.67E + 1 1.67E 3 2.50E + 10
The allowable range for the number of decimal places is Fix 0 to Fix 9, and the range for the number of significant digits is Sci 0 to Sci 9. For details about the [Display] settings, see Basic Format Dialog Box on page 14-3-1.

2-2-7 Basic Calculations

k Complex Mode and Real Mode
The Complex mode is for complex number calculations, while the Real mode is limited to calculations within the range of real numbers. Performing a calculation in the Real mode that produces a result that is outside the range of real numbers causes an error (Non-Real Result error).

Example: To find the minimum point of x with respect to x , when 2 < x < 3 Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][fMin] Example: To find the minimum point of x 3 6x with respect to x , when 2 < x < 2 and n = 1 Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][fMin]
2-7-12 Using the Action Menu

u fMax

Function: Returns the maximum point in a specific range of a function. Syntax: fMax(Exp[,variable] [ ) ] fMax(Exp,variable,start value,end value[,n] [ ) ] x is the default when you omit [,variable]. Negative infinity and positive infinity are the default when the syntax fMax (Exp [, variable] [ ) ] is used. n is calculation precision, which you can specify as an integer in the range of 1 to 9. Using any value outside this range causes an error. This command returns an approximate value when calculation precision is specified for n. This command returns a true value when nothing is specified for n. If the true value cannot be obtained, however, this command returns an approximate value along with n = 4. Discontinuous points or sections that fluctuate widely can adversely affect precision or even cause an error. Inputting a larger number for n increases the precision of the calculation, but it also increases the amount of time required to perform the calculation. The value you input for the end point of the interval must be greater than the value you input for the start point. Otherwise an error occurs. Example: To find the maximum point of x 2 + 1 with respect to x Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][fMax] Example: To find the maximum point of x 2 + 1, when 2 < x < 5 Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][fMax] Example: To find the maximum point of x 3 6x with respect to x , when 2 < x < 2 and n = 1 Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][fMax]
2-7-13 Using the Action Menu

u taylor

Function: Finds a Taylor polynomial for an expression with respect to a specific variable. Syntax: taylor (Exp/List, variable, order [,center point] [ ) ] Example: To find a 5th order Taylor polynomial for sin(x ) with respect to x = 0 (in the Radian mode) Menu Item: [Action][Calculation][taylor]

Some Action menu commands are not useful in Verify, but for ease of use Verifys Action menu is identical to the Action menus in the Main application and the eActivity application.

Using the Graph & Table Application
The Graph & Table application allows you to input and graph rectangular coordinate equations (or inequalities), polar coordinate equations, and parametric expressions. After you graph an expression, you can zoom in or out, and move a pointer along the graph, displaying its coordinates as you go. You can also perform various graph-based analytical operations to determine the points of intersect of two graphs, and to determine the maximum, minimum, point of inflection, and definite integral for a particular range of a parabola or other figure. You can even generate number tables and summary tables for functions that you input. 3-1 3-2 3-3 3-4 3-5 3-6 3-7 3-8 Graph & Table Application Overview Using the Graph Window Storing Functions Using Table & Graph Modifying a Graph Using the Sketch Menu Using Trace Analyzing a Function Used to Draw a Graph

4-1 Conics Application Overview
This section describes the configuration of the Conics application windows, and provides basic information about its menus and commands. The Conics application uses many of the same commands (Zoom, Trace, Sketch, etc.) as the Graph & Table application. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with Graph & Table operations before trying to use the Conics application.
Starting Up the Conics Application
Use the following procedure to start up the Conics application.
On the application menu, tap C. This starts the Conics application and displays the Conics Editor window and the Conics Graph window.

7-3-4 Before Trying to Draw a Statistical Graph
u Freq Tap the down arrow button, and then select the frequency setting from the list that appears.
To do this: Plot each data value once Specify a list whose values indicate the frequency of each data value
Select this option: 1 list1 list6 (or a list name you assigned)
The initial default frequency setting is 1. Specifying a list that causes each data value to be plotted five times helps to improve the appearance of scatter plots. A list of frequency values can contain non-zero integers and decimal values. In the case of a MedBox, ModBox, or MedMed graph, however, a frequency list can contain positive integers only. Non-integer values (such as those with a decimal part) cause an error during statistical calculations. u Mark Tap the down arrow button, and select the shape you want to use for the plot points of a scatter diagram (Scatter), xy line graph (xyLine), or normal probability plot (NPPlot).
Mark Name square cross ldot dot Mark
The default graph setting for all nine StatGraph setups is a scatter plot (Scatter).
7-4-1 Graphing Single-Variable Statistical Data
7-4 Graphing Single-Variable Statistical Data
Single-variable data is data that consists of a single value. If you are trying to obtain the average height of the members of a single class, for example, the single variable would be height. Single-variable statistics include distributions and sums. You can produce any of the graphs described below using single-variable data. Before trying to draw any of the graphs described below, configure the graph setup using the procedures under Configuring StatGraph Setups on page 7-3-2.
Normal Probability Plot (NPPlot)
The normal probability plot plots data against a theoretical normal distribution using a scatter plot. If the scatter plot is close to a straight line, then the data is approximately normal. A departure from the straight line indicates a departure from normality.
k Graph Parameter Settings (page 7-3-3, 7-3-4)
[XList] specifies the list that contains the data to be plotted. [Mark] specifies the shape of the plot mark.
7-4-2 Graphing Single-Variable Statistical Data
Histogram Bar Graph (Histogram)
A histogram shows the frequency (frequency distribution) of each data class as a rectangular bar. Classes are on the horizontal axis, while frequency is on the vertical axis.
[XList] specifies the list that contains the data to be graphed. [Freq] specifies the frequency of the data.
A dialog box like the one shown above appears before the graph is drawn. You can use this dialog box to change the start value (HStart) and step value (HStep) of the histogram, if you want.

Med-Box Plot (MedBox)

This type of graph is often called a Box and Whisker graph. It lets you see how a large number of data items are grouped within specific ranges.

To do this: Insert a calculation row Insert a text row Insert a Geometry-linked data row Insert an application data strip Tap this button Or select this Insert menu item: Calculation Row Text Row Geometry Link Main Geometry Graph Graph Editor 3D Graph 3D Graph Editor Conics Graph Conics Editor Stat Graph List Editor NumSolve Sequence Editor Notes Spreadsheet Verify

(1) Graph strip is expanded in the lower window.
(2) Expression is selected in the eActivity.
(3) Expression has been dragged into the graph window.
For details about what you can drag and drop between the eActivity window and Geometry window, see 8-6 Using the Geometry Application with Other Applications.
10-3-12 Inserting Data into an eActivity
Inserting a Geometry Link Row
A Geometry Link row dynamically links data in the Geometry window with the corresponding data in an eActivity. You can display lines and figures drawn in Geometry as values and mathematical expressions in a Geometry Link row. Dragging a line or figure from the Geometry window to a Geometry Link row in an eActivity converts the line or figure to its mathematical expression. This expression is interlinked with its Geometry window figure, so modifying one causes a corresponding change in the other.
Example of inserting a Geometry Link row Modifying the equation in a Geometry Link updates the figure in the Geometry window. Conversely, changing the shape, position, or some other parameter of the figure on the Geometry window updates the equation in the Geometry Link.
u To input a Geometry Link row
Example: To drag one side of a triangle drawn on the Geometry window and link it to an eActivity (1) Open the eActivity application. Next, tap [Insert] and then [Geometry] to insert a Geometry strip. (2) On the Geometry window that appears in the lower half of the screen, draw a triangle. For details about Geometry window operations, see Chapter 8. (3) Tap the eActivity window just below the Geometry strip. This makes eActivity the active window.
10-3-13 Inserting Data into an eActivity
(4) Tap [Insert] and then [Geometry Link]. This inserts a Geometry Link row in the next line.

Geometry Link row Symbol

(5) Tap the Geometry window to make it active. (6) Tap one side of the triangle to select it, and then drag it to the link symbol in the eActivity window. This inputs the equation of the line that represents the side of the triangle into the link. Modifying the equation in the Geometry Link row and pressing E causes a corresponding change in the Geometry window (lower right screenshot). The example below shows how the isosceles triangle ABC (CA = BC) changes when the equation in the Geometry Link row is changed from y = 1.91x + 0.983 to y = x + 2.

See 1-8 Using the Variable Manager.

Deleting a Program

The following procedure deletes a program file name, which also deletes the program.
(1) Tap 5 to display the Variable Manager. This displays a list of folders. (2) Tap the name of the folder that contains the file you want to delete. This displays all of the files/variables in the folder. (3) Select the check box next to the file you want to delete. You can select one file or multiple files for deletion. (4) Tap [Edit] and then [Delete]. (5) On the confirmation dialog box that appears, tap [OK] to delete the selected file, or [Cancel] to cancel the operation without deleting anything. (6) Tap [Close] twice to close the Variable Manager.
Be sure to close a file before you try to rename or delete it. Trying to rename or delete an open file will cause an error. See 1-8 Using the Variable Manager.

12-4-2 Managing Files

Changing the File Type
You can use the following procedures to change the file type.
u To change a program file to a text file
While a program file is open, tap [Edit], [Mode Change], and then ['Text].
u To change a text file to a program file
While a text file is open, tap [Edit], [Mode Change], and then ['Normal].
Note that the above operations are not possible while a user-defined function is open.
u To change an editable file to an edit prohibited program file
(1) Open the program file you want to make edit prohibited. (2) Tap [Edit] and then [Compress]. This displays a dialog box for inputting the backup file name. The backup file is a copy of the original (editable) file, which you can keep on hand if you have trouble changing an edit prohibited program file back to an editable file. (3) Enter the backup file name and then tap [OK]. This saves two copies of the file. One is an edit prohibited program file under the name of the original (editable) file. The other is an editable backup file, which is created under the name you specify in step (3), above. Original File (editable): sample Specified File Name: sample2 Resulting Files: sample (non-editable) sample2 (editable) An edit prohibited program file cannot be opened from the Program Editor window. Edit prohibited program files are displayed in the Variable Manager as EXE type files. Tapping [Cancel] instead of [OK] in step (3) quits the procedure without changing the file type.
12-5-1 User-defined Functions
12-5 User-defined Functions
ClassPad lets you configure calculation operations as user-defined functions, which can then be used inside of numeric expressions just like its built-in functions. User-defined functions can also be called up in other applications. The Program Editor window is used for creating user-defined functions. User-defined functions are stored in ClassPad memory as Function type variables. Naming, storage, and folder rules are identical to those for user variables.

Display examples shown in this Users Guide are intended for illustrative purposes only. The actual text and values that appear on display may differ from the examples shown in this Users Guide.

Getting Started

You can use ClassPad Manager to develop programs and eActivities using the same commands as those available on the ClassPad. You can store your programs and eActivities on your computer, and use the ClassPad Managers data communication functions to transfer them to your ClassPad when you need them. Once you establish a link with your computer over the USB cable that comes bundled with the ClassPad, you can use easy-to-understand Microsoft Explorer-like operations to transfer data (programs, variable data, and eActivities) between them. You can transfer data by putting the ClassPad into its communication standby state and then performing all operations on your connected computer. ClassPad Manager provides the following capabilities. ClassPad emulation, which lets you perform ClassPad operations on your computer Transfer of data between your ClassPad and computer You can connect multiple ClassPads to a single PC. This makes it possible to simultaneously copy files from the PC to multiple ClassPads, and use your PC to copy files from one ClassPad to another. ClassPad data storage Update of the ClassPad Manager Version 2.0 (Single License or School License) to Version 2.2

Important!

Be sure to install the ClassPad Manager before you connect the ClassPad to your computer. Connecting before you install the ClassPad Manager can result in improper operation.
Use only the USB cable that comes with ClassPad whenever connecting your ClassPad to a computer to exchange data between them. Data exchange with ClassPad Manager will not be possible if you use a commercially available USB cable. See your ClassPad Users Guide and Quick Start Guide for details about operating the on-screen virtual ClassPad unit. Note that you cannot send data to or receive data from the virtual ClassPad unit. Calculation results produced by ClassPad Manager may be different from those produced by the ClassPad. This is due to the way that computers perform floating-point calculations. Also, ClassPad Manager cannot handle values that exceed 1E+300.

User Registration

Before using the ClassPad Manager, be sure to read the contents of the file named Readme.html, which is on the bundled CD-ROM. There you will find the URL for a Website where you can register as an official user. https://classpad.net/register/regist_form.html
