This section describes how to utilize the calculator's unit conversion feature, which allows for easy conversion between units across various categories such as acceleration, angle, area, data sizes, density, length, energy, frequency, fuel consumption, mass, power, speed, temperature, time, and volume.
With the cursor active in edit mode, the calculator converts and replaces the number where the cursor is positioned. In result mode, activated after pressing "=", the displayed result undergoes conversion.
- Input the value to be converted, either in Result mode (by pressing the '=' button) or in Edit mode (by placing the cursor within the number inside the expression).
- Open the conversion dialog by pressing the 'CONV' button.
- Select the unit to convert from. You can search for a unit, choose from recently used or favorites.
- The dialog displays converted values for all units in the selected category.
- Select the desired conversion by pressing on it, or choose an action from the popup menu.
Notes:
- You can directly modify the input value as necessary by pressing the Edit button located at the bottom.
- Popup menus for each converted value offer actions like saving to memory, parameters, clipboard, or favorites.
Favorite conversions can be added for quick access. This feature simplifies regular conversions and enhances workflow efficiency. The Favorite Conversions dialog facilitates easy toggling between source and target units, saving converted values to memory, to variables, to clipboard, or sharing as an image.
