Comment on Ok, some nerd please explain the switches on this IRL calculator app
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 week agoThat’s some great info!
The back of it says it’s been used at a local insurance company. Wonder if that button is useful there somehow.

Most of the other buttons appears to be for the internal carrier (aka memory). Lets say that the main display is one column in Excel. The memory is then a second column, where you can pull or push the displayed result in a variety of ways. This allows you to do some calculation, throw the result into memory, clear he entry and do another calculation and add that to the previously stored result and such. The slider labeled with the sum sign is a grand total. It’ll cause all your results to be summarized. I’m not sure how to display it. Maybe it’s only shown on the print.
The MU button doesn’t “do” anything by itself. You’ll need to press 100. Press MU. press 20. Press %. Or maybe the sequence is different. It would be nice with a manual.

Yeah, that makes sense, though the calculator doesn’t have a printer unless by print you mean something I’m too much of a scrub to understand!
Yeah I tried doing these things in different orders but they don’t seem to affect one another in any way. Maybe it needs one of the switches in a certain spot or something.
