Running a Program


The advantage of entering a program into memory is that you can perform the same key sequence as many times as needed, without having to re-enter the program keystrokes


Procedure

To run the program currently stored in program memory:
  1. Be sure the calculator is not in the learn mode.
  2. Press [RUN] to display the screen shown below.
  3. If your program requires you to enter a number into the display before starting the program, enter the number
  4. Select the menu option for the program you want to run.

The calculator runs the program. The RUN indicator is displayed while the program is running.

D_TYLcQL
{ PGM } : Runs the program in program memory, starting at program step 0000.
{ MEM } : Enables you to run a program you have saved in the file space. (File space is discussed in Chapter 8, "File Operations").
NOTE: If an optional software cartridge or (default) 32K Constant Memory™ cartridge is installed, the name of the cartridge is displayed in the menu. See the "File Operations" chapter for details on running a program in a Constant Memory cartridge.
