Text Screen

Graph Screen

k Normal Display
The calculator normally displays values up to 10 digits long. Values that exceed this limit are
automatically converted to and displayed in exponential format.

u How to interpret exponential format
b.c5bcw
This means that you should move the decimal point in 1.2 twelve places to the right, because
the exponent is positive. This results in the value 1,200,000,000,000.

b.c5-dw
This means that you should move the decimal point in 1.2 three places to the left, because the
exponent is negative. This results in the value 0.0012.
You can specify one of two different ranges for automatic changeover to normal display.
Norm 1 ................... 10–2 (0.01) > |x|, |x| > 1010
Norm 2 ................... 10–9 (0.000000001) > |x|, |x| > 1010
All of the examples in this manual show calculation results using Norm 1.
See page 2-13 for details on switching between Norm 1 and Norm 2.

Note
Exponential notation is expressed as “×1012”. However, exponential notation can also be
expressed as “E12” when space is limited, as in a spreadsheet.

1-6

k Special Display Formats
This calculator uses special display formats to indicate fractions, hexadecimal values, and
degrees/minutes/seconds values.
u Fractions
.................... Indicates: 456

12
23

u Hexadecimal Values
.................... Indicates: 0ABCDEF1(16), which equals
180150001(10)
u Degrees/Minutes/Seconds
.................... Indicates: 12° 34’ 56.78”

• In addition to the above, this calculator also uses other indicators or symbols, which are
described in each applicable section of this manual as they come up.

3. Inputting and Editing Calculations
k Inputting Calculations
When you are ready to input a calculation, first press A to clear the display. Next, input your
calculation formulas exactly as they are written, from left to right, and press w to obtain the
result.
Example

2 + 3 – 4 + 10 =
Ac+d-e+baw

k Editing Calculations
Use the d and e keys to move the cursor to the position you want to change, and then
perform one of the operations described below. After you edit the calculation, you can execute
it by pressing w. Or you can use e to move to the end of the calculation and input more.
• You can select either insert or overwrite for input*1. With overwrite, text you input replaces
the text at the current cursor location. You can toggle between insert and overwrite by
performing the operation: !D(INS). The cursor appears as “ ” for insert and as “ ” for
overwrite.
*1 Insert and overwrite switching is possible only when the Linear input/output mode (page
1-35) is selected.

1-7

u To change a step
Example

To change cos60 to sin60
Acga
ddd
D
s

u To delete a step
Example

To change 369 × × 2 to 369 × 2
Adgj**c
dD

In the insert mode, the D key operates as a backspace key.

u To insert a step
Example

To change 2.362 to sin2.362
Ac.dgx
ddddddd
s

k Parentheses Colors during Calculation Formula Input
Parentheses are color coded during input and editing of calculation formulas in order to make
it easier to confirm the proper relationship between opening and closing parentheses.
The following rules are applied when assigning parentheses colors.
• When there are nested parentheses, colors are assigned in sequence from the outermost
parentheses inward. Colors are assigned in the following sequence: blue, red, green,
magenta, black. When there are more than five nesting levels, the color sequence is
repeated starting from blue again.

1-8

• Inputting a closing parenthesis assigns it the same color as the corresponding opening
parenthesis.

• The parentheses of parenthetical expressions that are of the same level are the same color.

Executing a calculation causes the color of all parentheses to become black.

k Using Replay Memory
The last calculation performed is always stored into replay memory. You can recall the
contents of the replay memory by pressing d or e.
If you press e, the calculation appears with the cursor at the beginning. Pressing d causes
the calculation to appear with the cursor at the end. You can make changes in the calculation
as you wish and then execute it again.
• Replay memory is enabled in the Linear input/output mode only. In the Math input/output
mode, the history function is used in place of replay memory. For details, see “History
Function” (page 1-24).
Example 1

To perform the following two calculations
4.12 × 6.4 = 26.368
4.12 × 7.1 = 29.252
Ae.bc*g.ew
dddd
!D(INS)
h.b
w

1-9

After you press A, you can press f or c to recall previous calculations, in sequence from
the newest to the oldest (Multi-Replay Function). Once you recall a calculation, you can use
e and d to move the cursor around the calculation and make changes in it to create a new
calculation.
Example 2
Abcd+efgw
cde-fghw
A
f (One calculation back)
f (Two calculations back)
• A calculation remains stored in replay memory until you perform another calculation.
• The contents of replay memory are not cleared when you press the A key, so you can
recall a calculation and execute it even after pressing the A key.

k Making Corrections in the Original Calculation
Example

14 ÷ 0 × 2.3 entered by mistake for 14 ÷ 10 × 2.3
Abe/a*c.d
w

Press J.
Cursor is positioned automatically at the
location of the cause of the error.

Make necessary changes.
db
Execute again.
w

1-10

k Using the Clipboard for Copy and Paste
You can copy (or cut) a function, command, or other input to the clipboard, and then paste the
clipboard contents at another location.

Note
In the Math input/output mode, the copy (or cut) range you can specify is limited by the range
of movement of the cursor. In the case of parentheses, you can select any range within a
parenthetical expression or you can select the entire parenthetical expression.

u To specify the copy range
1. Move the cursor ( ) to the beginning or end of the range of text you want to copy and then
press !i(CLIP).
• This will cause

default setting for this calculator is the Math input/output mode. If you have changed to the
Linear input/output mode, switch back to the Math input/output mode before performing the
operations in this section. See “Using the Setup Screen” (page 1-35) for information about
how to switch modes.
• In the Math input/output mode, all input is insert mode (not overwrite mode) input. Note that
the !D(INS) operation (page 1-7) you use in the Linear input/output mode to switch to
insert mode input performs a completely different function in the Math input/output mode. For
more information, see “Using Values and Expressions as Arguments” (page 1-20).
• Unless specifically stated otherwise, all operations in this section are performed in the
Run-Matrix mode.

u When the calculation does not fit within the display window
Arrows appear at the left, right, top, or bottom edge of the
display to let you know when there is more of the
calculation off the screen in the corresponding direction.
When you see an arrow, you can use the cursor keys to
scroll the screen contents and view the part you want.

1-19

u Math Input/Output Mode Input Restrictions
Certain types of expressions can cause the vertical width of a calculation formula to be greater
than one display line. The maximum allowable vertical width of a calculation formula is about
two display screens. You cannot input any expression that exceeds this limitation.

u Using Values and Expressions as Arguments
A value or an expression that you have already input can be used as the argument of a
function. After you have input “(2+3)”, for example, you can make it the argument of ',
resulting in (2+3).
Example
1. Move the cursor so it is located directly to the left of the part of the expression that you want
to become the argument of the function you will insert.

2. Press !D(INS).
• This changes the cursor to an insert cursor ( ).

3. Press !x(') to insert the ' function.
• This inserts the ' function and makes the parenthetical expression its argument.

As shown above, the value or expression to the right of the cursor after !D(INS) are
pressed becomes the argument of the function that is specified next. The range encompassed
as the argument is everything up to the first open parenthesis to the right, if there is one, or
everything up to the first function to the right (sin(30), log2(4), etc.).

u Editing Calculations in the Math Input/Output Mode
The procedures for editing calculations in the Math input/output mode are basically the same
as those for the Linear input/output mode. For more information, see “Editing Calculations”
(page 1-7).
Note however, that the following points are different between the Math input/output mode and
the Linear input/output mode.
• Overwrite mode input that is available in the Linear input/output mode is not supported by
the Math input/output mode. In the Math input/output mode, input is always inserted at the
current cursor location.
• In the Math input/output mode, pressing the D key always performs a backspace operation.

1-21

• Note the following cursor operations you can use while inputting a calculation with Math
input/output mode.
To do this:
Move the cursor from the end of the calculation to the beginning
Move the cursor from the beginning of the calculation to the end

Press this key:
e
d

k Using Undoing and Redoing Operations
You can use the following procedures during calculation expression input in the Math input/
output mode (up until you press the w key) to undo the last key operation and to redo the
key operation you have just undone.
- To undo the last key operation, press: aD(UNDO).
- To redo a key operation you have just undone, press: aD(UNDO) again.
• You also can use UNDO to cancel an A key operation. After pressing A to clear an
expression you have input, pressing aD(UNDO) will restore what was on the display
before you pressed A.
• You also can use UNDO to cancel a cursor key operation. If you press e during input and
then press aD(UNDO), the cursor will return to where it was before you pressed e.
• The UNDO operation is disabled while the keyboard is alpha-locked. Pressing
aD(UNDO) while the keyboard is alpha-locked will perform the same delete operation
as the D key alone.

k Math Input/Output Mode Calculation Result Display
Fractions, matrices, vectors, and lists produced by Math input/output mode calculations are
displayed in natural format, just as they appear in your textbook.

Sample Calculation Result Displays
• Fractions are displayed either as improper fractions or mixed fractions, depending on the
“Frac Result” setting on the Setup screen. For details, see “Using the Setup Screen” (page
1-35).
• Matrices are displayed in natural format, up to 6 × 6. A matrix that has more than six rows or
columns will be displayed on a MatAns screen, which is the same screen used in the Linear
input/output mode.
• Vectors are displayed in natural format up to 1 × 6, or 6 × 1. A vector that has more than six
rows or columns will be displayed on a VctAns screen, which is the same screen used in the
Linear input/output mode.
• Lists are displayed in natural format for up to 20 elements. A list that has more than 20
elements will be displayed on a ListAns screen, which is the same screen used in the Linear
input/output mode.
• Arrows appear at the left, right, top, or bottom edge of the display to let you know when there
is more data off the screen in the corresponding direction.

You can use the cursor keys to scroll the screen and view the data you want.
• Pressing 2(DELETE)1(DEL-LINE) while a calculation result is selected will delete both
the result and the calculation that produced it.
• The multiplication sign cannot be omitted immediately before an improper fraction or mixed
fraction. Be sure to always input a multiplication sign in this case.
2
Example: 2× 5
c*c'f
• A M, x, or !)(x–1) key operation cannot be followed immediately by another M,
x, or !)(x–1) key operation. In this case, use parentheses to keep the key operations
separate.
Example: (32)–1

(dx)!)(x–1)

1-23

k History Function
The history function maintains a history of calculation expressions and results in the Math
input/output mode. Up to 30 sets of calculation expressions and results are maintained.
b+cw
*cw

You can also edit the calculation expressions that are maintained by the history function and
recalculate. This will recalculate all of the expressions starting from the edited expression.
Example

To change “1+2” to “1+3” and recalculate

Perform the following operation following the sample shown above.
ffffdDdw

• You can get a rough idea of how many entries (calculation expressions and results) are
contained in history by checking the length of the scroll bar. A shorter bar indicates a greater
number of entries.

• The value stored in the answer memory is always dependent on the result produced by
the last calculation performed. If history contents include operations that use the answer
memory, editing a calculation may affect the answer memory value used in subsequent
calculations.
- If you have a series of calculations that use the answer memory to include the result of the
previous calculation in the next calculation, editing a calculation will affect the results of all
the other calculations that come after it.
- When the first calculation of the history includes the answer memory contents, the answer
memory value is “0” because there is no calculation before the first one in history.

k Memory
u Variables (Alpha Memory)
This calculator comes with 28 variables as standard. You can use variables to store values
you want to use inside of calculations. Variables are identified by single-letter names, which
are made up of the 26 letters of the alphabet, plus r and θ. The maximum size of values that
you can assign to variables is 15 digits for the mantissa and 2 digits for the exponent.
• Variable contents are retained even when you turn power off.
2-7

u To assign a value to a variable
[value] a [variable name] w
Example 1

To assign 123 to variable A
Abcdaav(A)w

Example 2

To add 456 to variable A and store the result in variable B
Aav(A)+efga
al(B)w

• You can input an X variable by pressing a+(X) or v. Pressing a+(X) will input X,
while pressing v will input x. Values assigned to X and x are stored in the same memory
area.
Example 3

Assign 10 to x and then assign 5 to X. Next, check what is assigned to

x.
Abaavw
faa+(X)w
vw

u To assign the same value to more than one variable
[value]a [first variable name] ~ [last variable name]w
• You cannot use “r” or “θ ” as a variable name.
Example

To assign a value of 10 to variables A through F
Abaaav(A)
!e(CATALOG)6(CAT)cccc
1(EXE)
ff
1(INPUT)at(F)w

u String Memory
You can store up to 20 strings (named Str 1 to Str 20) in string memory. Stored strings can be
output to the display or used inside functions and commands that support the use of strings as
arguments.
For details about string operations, see “Strings” (page 8-25).

2-8

Example

To assign string “ABC” to Str 1 and then output Str 1 to the display

l(B)I(C)5(”)a(Releases Alpha Lock.)
aJ6(g)5(Str)bw

5(Str)bw

String is displayed justified left.
• Perform the above operation in the Linear input/output mode. It cannot be performed in the
Math input/output mode.

u Function Memory

[OPTN]-[FUNCMEM]

Function memory is convenient for temporary storage of often-used expressions. For longer
term storage, we recommend that you use the Graph mode for expressions and the Program
mode for programs.
• {STORE}/{RECALL}/{fn}/{SEE} ... {function store}/{function recall}/{function area
specification as a variable name inside an expression}/{function list}

u To store a function
Example

To store the function (A+B) (A–B) as function memory number 1
!m(SET UP)2(Line)J
A(av(A)+al(B))
(av(A)-al(B))
K6(g)6(g)3(FUNCMEM)
1(STORE)bw
JJJ

• If the function memory number to which you store a function already contains a function, the
previous function is replaced with the new one.
• You can also use a to store a function in function
memory in a program. In this case, you must enclose the
function inside of double quotation marks.

2-9

u To recall a function
Example

To recall the contents of function memory number 1
AK6(g)6(g)3(FUNCMEM)
2(RECALL)bw

• The recalled function appears at the current location of the cursor on the display.

u To recall a function as a variable
Example

To recall the contents of function memory number 1 as a variable
Adaav(A)w
baal(B)w
K6(g)6(g)3(FUNCMEM)3(fn)
b+cw

u To display a list of available functions
K6(g)6(g)3(FUNCMEM)
4(SEE)

u To delete a function
Example

To delete the contents of function memory number 1
A
K6(g)6(g)3(FUNCMEM)
1(STORE)bw

• Executing the store operation while the display is blank deletes the function in the function
memory you specify.

2-10

k Answer Function
The Answer Function automatically stores the last result you calculated by pressing w
(unless the w key operation results in an error). The result is stored in the answer memory.
• The largest value that the answer memory can hold is 15 digits for the mantissa and 2 digits
for the exponent.
• Answer memory contents are not cleared when you press the A key or when you switch
power off.

u To use the contents of the answer memory in a calculation
Example

123 + 456 = 579
789 – 579 = 210
Abcd+efgw
hij-!-(Ans)w

• Performing an operation that assigns a value to an Alpha memory (such as
faal(B)w), answer memory contents are updated in the Math input/output mode
but not in the Linear input/output mode.

k Performing Continuous Calculations
Answer memory also lets you use the result of one calculation as one of the arguments in the
next calculation.
Example

1÷3=
1÷3×3=
Ab/dw
(Continuing)*dw

Continuous calculations can also be used with Type B functions (x2, x–1, x!, on page 2-3), +, –,
^(xy), x', ° ’ ”, etc.

The “'Simp” function can be used to simplify fractions manually. The following operations can
be used to perform simplification when an unsimplified calculation result is on the display.
• {Simp} w ... This function automatically simplifies the displayed calculation result using the
smallest prime number available. The prime number used and the simplified result are
shown on the display.
• {Simp} n w ... This function performs simplification according to the specified divisor n.
Under initial default settings, this calculator automatically simplifies fraction calculation results
before displaying them. Before performing the following examples, use the Setup screen to
change the “Simplify” setting from “Auto” to “Manual” (page 1-38).
• When “a+bi” or “r∠θ” is specified for the Setup screen “Complex Mode” setting, fraction
calculation results always are simplified before being displayed, even if the “Simplify” setting
is “Manual”.
• If you want to simplify fractions manually (Simplify: Manual), make sure that the “Real” is
selected for the “Complex Mode” setting.

k Solve Calculations

[OPTN]-[CALC]-[Solve]

The following is the syntax for using the Solve function in a program.
Solve( f(x), n, a, b)

(a: lower limit, b: upper limit, n: initial estimated value)

There are two different input methods that can be used for Solve calculations: direct
assignment and variable table input.
With the direct assignment method, you assign values directly to variables. This type of input
is identical to that used with the Solve command used in the Program mode.
Variable table input is used with the Solve function in the Equation mode. This input method
is recommended for most normal Solve function input.
An error (Time Out) occurs when there is no convergence of the solution.
For information about Solve calculations, see page 4-4.
• You cannot use a second derivative, Σ, maximum/minimum value or Solve calculation
expression inside of any of the above functions.
• Pressing A during calculation of Solve (while the cursor is not shown on the display)
interrupts the calculation.

k Solving an f(x) Function

[OPTN]-[CALC]-[SolveN]

You can use SolveN to solve an f(x) function using numerical analysis. The following is the
input syntax.
SolveN (left side [=right side] [,variable] [, lower limit, upper limit])
• The right side, variable, lower limit and upper limit all can be omitted.
• “left side[=right side]” is the expression to be solved. Supported variables are A through Z, r,
and θ. When the right side is omitted, solution is perform using right side = 0.
• The variable specifies the variable within the expression to be solved for (A through Z, r, θ).
Omitting a variable specification cause X to be used as the variable.

2-27

• The lower limit and upper limit specify the range of the solution. You can input a value or an
expression as the range.
• The following functions cannot be used within any of the arguments.
Solve(, d2/dx2(, FMin(, FMax(, Σ(
Up to 10 calculation results can be displayed simultaneously in ListAns format.
• The message “No Solution” is displayed if no solution exists.
• The message “More solutions may exist.” is displayed when there may be solutions other
than those displayed by SolveN.

8. CASIO Scientific Function Calculator Special
Commands ⇔ Text Conversion Table
The table below shows the special text strings that correspond to commands when converting
between programs and text files. For details about the operations for converting between
programs and text files, see “Converting Programs and Text Files” (page 8-7).

Important!
• Converting a program that contains the types of commands described below to a text file will
cause the commands to be converted to text strings with underbar (_) characters appended
at the beginning and end, as shown in the table below.
- A command enclosed in quotation marks (" ")
- A command in a comment line, which is a line that begins with a single quotation mark (')
Note that non-command alpha-numeric characters in a program that are enclosed in quotation
marks (" ") or are in a comment line are output to the text file as-is.
Example:
In the program:
""
"Theta"*1
"Tmax"*2
"TThetamax"*1
"or"*3
"or"*1

In the text file (after conversion):
˝ _Theta_ ˝
˝ Theta ˝
˝ _TThetamax_ ˝
˝ TThetamax ˝
˝ _or_ ˝
˝ or ˝

*1 Non-command alpha-numeric characters
*2 V-Window Tmax command
*3 Logical operator or
Converting from a text file to a program converts the special character strings back to their
corresponding commands, shown above.
•

When converting a program that contains special characters input using 6(CHAR) when
editing the program on the calculator, the special characters will be converted to character
string codes as shown below.
Example:
In the program:
λ
®
1


`
⇔

In the text file (after conversion):
#E54A
#E5A5
#E5F0
#E641
#E69C
#E6D6

These codes are not included in the tables on the pages 8-61 through 8-66.

Chapter 9 Spreadsheet
The Spreadsheet application provides you with powerful, take-along-anywhere spreadsheet
capabilities.
All of the operations in this section are performed in the Spreadsheet mode.

Note
A Memory ERROR may occur during a Spreadsheet mode operation if main memory capacity
is low. If this happens, delete some input data or Memory mode data in order to increase
available free space.

1. Spreadsheet Basics and the Function Menu
Selecting Spreadsheet on the Main Menu will display a spreadsheet screen. Entering the
Spreadsheet mode automatically creates a new spreadsheet file named “SHEET”.
The spreadsheet screen shows a number of cells (squares) and the data contained in each
cell.
File name
Shows as many characters
as possible of the file name.

Row numbers
(1 to 999)

Edit box
Shows the contents of the cell where the cell
cursor is currently located. When multiple
cells are selected, the edit box indicates the
selected cell range.

Column letters (A to Z)

Cell cursor

Function menu

You can enter the following types of data into a cell.
Constants

A constant is something whose value is fixed as soon as you finalize its input. A
constant can be either a numeric value, or a calculation formula (such as 7+3,
sin30, A1×2, etc.) that does not have an equal sign (=) in front of it.

Text

A character string that starts with a quote mark (") is treated as text.

Formula

A formula that starts out with an equal sign (=), such as =A1×2, is executed as it
is written.

Note that complex numbers are not supported in the Spreadsheet mode.
Spreadsheet Mode Restrictions
The maximum file size that can be handled by the Spreadsheet mode is 30KB. Note,
however, that the actual maximum file size depends on the type of data input into the
spreadsheet and condition formatting settings. Also note that the maximum file size changes
in accordance with the amount of main memory available.
9-1

Restrictions on the Use of Spreadsheet Strips in the eActivity Mode
Main Memory data storage capacity is approximately 60KB. Approximately half of that (a little
less than 30KB) is the maximum amount of data storage available in the eActivity mode.
Approximately half of the eActivity mode storage memory (a little less than 15KB) is the
maximum allowable Spreadsheet file size in the eActivity mode.
Because of this, inserting a Spreadsheet strip into an eActivity and performing a spreadsheet
operation can cause limitations due to insufficient memory capacity. The following are
examples of conditions that would cause the maximum file size to be exceeded.
(1) Inputting numeric data into spreadsheet cells A1 through A999, B1 through B999, and C1
through C520
In this case, the Spreadsheet strip of the eActivity will show only A1 through A999 and B1
through B80.
(2) Without inputting any data into the spreadsheet, assigning the conditional formatting shown
below to all of the cells from A1 through A999 and B1 through B430
- For “Type”, select “Expression”.
- Input the following expression: B1=2 A1^3+3 A1^2+4 A1+5.
In this case, the Spreadsheet strip of the eActivity will show only A1 through A999 and B1
through B410.

2. Basic Spreadsheet Operations
This section explains spreadsheet file operations, how to move the cursor and select one or
more cells, and how to enter and edit data.

k Spreadsheet File Operations
u To create a new file
1. Press 1(FILE)1(NEW).
2. On the dialog box that appears, enter up to eight characters for the file name, and then
press w.
• This will create a new file and display a blank spreadsheet.
• A new file will not be created it there is already a file with the same file name you enter in
step 2. Instead, the existing file will be opened.

u To open a file
1. Press 1(FILE)2(OPEN).
2. On the file list that appears, use f and c to select the file you want and then press w.

u Auto Save
In the Spreadsheet mode, Auto Save saves the currently open file automatically whenever
you edit it. This means you do not need to perform any manual save operation.

u To save a file under a new name
1. Press 1(FILE)3(SAVE • AS).
2. On the dialog box that appears, enter up to eight characters for the new file name, and then
press w.
• If a file already exists with the same file name you enter in step 2, a message will appear
asking if you want to replace the existing file with the new one. Press 1(Yes) to replace
the existing file, or 6(No) to cancel the save operation and return to the file name input
dialog box in step 2.

9-3

u To delete a file
1. Press 1(FILE)2(OPEN).
2. On the file list that appears, use f and c to select the file you want to delete and then
press 1(DELETE).
3. This causes a confirmation message to appear. Press 1(Yes) to delete the file, or 6(No)
to cancel without deleting anything.
4. To return to the spreadsheet from the file list, press J.
• Deleting the currently open file will automatically create a new file named “SHEET” and
display its spreadsheet.

k Transferring Data between a Spreadsheet and CSV Files
You can import the contents of a CSV file stored with this calculator or transferred from a
computer into a spreadsheet. You also can save the contents of a spreadsheet as a CSV file.

u To import the contents of a CSV file to a spreadsheet
1. Prepare the CSV file you want to import.
• See “Import CSV File Requirements” (page 3-18).
2. Press 1(FILE)5(CSV)1(LOAD).
• Pressing w in the next step will overwrite all of the data on the spreadsheet with the CSV
file data.
3. On the select file dialog box that appears, use f and c to move the highlighting to the
file you want to import and then press w.
• This imports the contents of the CSV file you specified to the spreadsheet.

Important!
• All blank data in the CSV file is imported as a blank cell.
• An error occurs if a CSV file contains even a single text string data item.
• If the CSV file includes data that cannot be converted, an error message will appear showing
the location in the CSV file (Example: row 2, column 3) where the data that cannot be
converted is located.
• Attempting to import a CSV file that has more than 26 columns or 999 rows will cause an
“Invalid Data Size” error.

u To save spreadsheet contents as a CSV file
1. If required, press 1(FILE)4(RECALCS) to recalculate the spreadsheet contents.
• Note that recalculation is not performed automatically when you save spreadsheet
contents to a CSV file. Be sure to perform recalculation if the spreadsheet contains a
formula, which starts with an equals symbol (=). See “Inputting a Formula into a Cell”
(page 9-10) for more information.
• Formulas are not saved to the CSV file. Only calculation results are saved.
• All ERROR cell data on the spreadsheet is saved as blank data.

9-4

2. Press 1(FILE)5(CSV)2(SAVE • AS).
• This displays a folder selection screen.
3. Select the folder where you want to save the CSV file.
• To store the CSV file in the root directory, highlight “ROOT”.
• To store the CSV file in a folder, use f and c to move the highlighting to the desired
folder and then press 1(OPEN).
4. Press 1(SAVE • AS).
5. Input up to eight characters for the file name and then press w.
• For information about how certain types of data is converted when being saved to a CSV
file, see the “Important!” note under “To save matrix contents as a CSV file” (page 2-48).

u To specify the CSV file delimiter symbol and decimal point
Press 1(FILE)5(CSV)3(SET) to display the CSV format setting screen. Next, perform the
procedure from step 3 under “Specifying the CSV File Delimiter Symbol and Decimal Point”
(page 3-20).

k Recalculating All of the Formulas in the Currently Open Spreadsheet
The Spreadsheet mode has an “Auto Calc” function that automatically recalculates all
formulas in a spreadsheet whenever you open a file or perform an editing operation in the
Spreadsheet mode. Auto Calc is one of the Spreadsheet setup items (page 1-38).
The initial factory default setting for Auto Calc is “On” (auto recalculation enabled). Note
that depending on the content of the spreadsheet, auto recalculation can take a long time to
complete. When Auto Calc is disabled (Off), you need to execute recalculation manually as
required. Note that you can perform manual recalculation at any time, regardless of the current
Auto Calc setting.

u To execute spreadsheet re-calculation manually
Press 1(FILE)4(RECALCS). This recalculates all of the formulas in the currently open file
and displays the applicable results.

Important!
• Regardless of the current Auto Calc setting, pressing A will immediately terminate
an ongoing recalculation operation. Note, however, that pressing A will not return the
spreadsheet that was being recalculated to its previous values. Any cells that were already
recalculated when you pressed A will show their new (recalculated) values.

9-5

k Using the Cell Cursor
The cell cursor shows the cell that is selected on a spreadsheet. The highlighted cell is the one
that is currently selected by the cell cursor.

Cell cursor

Edit box

When a single cell is selected by the cell cursor, the contents of that cell are displayed in the
edit box. The cell contents can be edited in the edit box.
When a multiple cells are selected by the cell cursor, the selection range is displayed in the
edit box. In this case, you can copy, delete, or perform other cell operations on the entire range
of selected cells.

u To select cells
To select this:

Do this:

A single cell

Use the cursor keys to move the cell cursor to the cell
you want, or use the JUMP comment to jump directly
to the cell.

A range of cells

See “To select a range of cells” (page 9-7).

An entire row of cells

Move the cell cursor to column A of the row whose
cells you want to select and then press d. Pressing
d while the cell cursor is located at cell A2, for
example, will select the entire second row (from A2 to
Z2). This will cause A2:Z2 (which indicates the selected
range) to appear in the edit box.

An entire column of cells

Move the cell cursor to row 1 of the column whose cells
you want to select and then press f. Pressing f
while the cell cursor is located at cell C1, for example,
will select the entire column C (from C1 to C999).
This will cause C1:C999 (which indicates the selected
range) to appear in the edit box.

All of the cells in the spreadsheet

Press d while the entire column A is selected or
press f while the entire row 1 is selected. This will
select all of the cells in the spreadsheet and display the
spreadsheet file name in the edit box.

9-6

u Using the JUMP Command to Move the Cell Cursor
To move the cell cursor to here:

Do this:

A particular cell

1. Press 2(EDIT)4(JUMP)1(GO).
2. On the dialog box that appears, enter the name
of the cell (A1 to Z999) to which you want to
jump.
3. Press w.

Line 1 of the current column

Press 2(EDIT)4(JUMP)2(TOP↑).

Column A of the current row

Press 2(EDIT)4(JUMP)3(TOP←).

Last line of the current column

Press 2(EDIT)4(JUMP)4(BTM↓).

Column Z of the current row

Press 2(EDIT)4(JUMP)5(BTM→).

u To select a range of cells
1. Move the cell cursor to the start point of the range of cells you want to select.
• You could select and entire row or column of cells as the start point, if you want. For details
about selecting cells, see “To select cells” on page 9-6.
2. Press !i(CLIP).
• This will change the cell cursor to a thick-line boundary instead of the normal highlighting.
3. Use the cursor keys to move the cell cursor to the end
point of the range of cells you want to select.
• The edit box will show the range of the selected cells.
• To cancel cell selection, press J. If you do, the cell
cursor will be located at the end point of the range you
selected.

9-7

k Data (Constants, Text, Formula) Input Basics
First let’s have a look at a few basic procedures that apply regardless of the type of data you
are inputting.

u To overwrite data currently in a cell with new data
1. Move the cell cursor to the cell where you want to input data.
• If the cell you select already contains data, the following step will overwrite the existing
data with new input.
2. Use the calculator’s keys to input data.
• As you perform key operations to input values or text
(such as b, al(B), etc.), the applicable figures
will appear aligned left inside the edit box.
• To cancel an input operation part way through at any
point before advancing to step 3 below, press J. This
will return the cell contents to what they were in step 1
of this procedure.
3. To finalize and apply your input, press w.

u To edit cell data
1. Move the cell cursor to the cell whose contents you want to edit.
2. Press 2(EDIT)3(CELL).
• Cell contents in the edit box will change from align right
to align left. A text cursor will appear in the edit box so
you can edit its contents.

3. Use e and d to move the cursor around the contents of the cell, and edit them as
required.
• To cancel an edit operation part way through at any point before advancing to step 4
below, press J. This will return the cell contents to what they were in step 1 of this
procedure.
4. To finalize and apply your edits, press w.

u To move the cell cursor while inputting data into a cell
Under factory default settings, pressing w while inputting data into a cell will cause the cell
cursor to move to the next line. You can specify movement to the next column instead using
the “Move” setting as described on page 1-38.

9-8

k Inputting a Constant (Value, Calculation Result, Number Sequence) into
a Cell
A constant is something whose value is fixed as soon as you finalize its input. A constant can
be either a numeric value, or a calculation formula (such as 7+3, sin30, A1×2, etc.) that does
not have an equal sign (=) in front of it. Inputting sdaw, for example will cause the
value 0.5 (the calculation result) to appear in the cell (when Deg is selected as the Angle unit).

u To input a number sequence automatically based on a function expression
1. Move the cell cursor to the cell where you want number sequence input to start.
• Under initial default settings, automatic input of the number sequence will proceed
downwards from the start cell. You can specify a different direction using the “Move”
setting as described on page 1-38.
2. Press 2(EDIT)5(SEQ) to display the Sequence screen, and then specify the function
expression and values required to generate the required number sequence.

You can input data for the item that is highlighted on
the screen.
Reference name of the cell selected in step 1

Description

Expr

Input the function expression f(x) for generating the number sequence.
Example: a+(X)x+bw (X2 + 1)

Var

Input the variable name used in the function expression input for Expr.
Example: a+(X)w (X)

Start

Input the starting value (X1) of the value to be substituted for the variable
specified by Var.
Example: cw

End

Input the ending value (Xn) of the value to be substituted for the variable
specified by Var.
Example: baw

Incre

Input the increment value (m) for successive value of X1, as in: (X2 = X1 + m),
(X3 = X2 + m), and so on. The number sequence is generated in the range of
X1 + (n – 1) m < Xn.
Example: cw

Item
1st Cell

Description
Input the reference name (A1, B2, etc.) of the cell where you want the first
value of the number sequence to be input. Specify a cell here only if the
starting cell is different from the one you specified in step 1 of this procedure.
Example: al(B)bw (B1)

• Each time you press w after inputting data for a setting item, the highlighting will move to
the next setting item. You also can use f and c to move the highlighting upwards and
downwards as required.
• Performing the next step will input the number string automatically starting from the
specified cell. If any cell that is within the range of cells where the number sequence
values will be input already contains data, the existing data will be replaced with the
number sequence values.
3. After inputting data for all the setting items, press 6(EXE) or the w key to start number
sequence generation and input.

k Inputting Text into a Cell
To input text, make sure the first thing you input into the cell is a5(”). The quote mark (")
tells the calculator that what follows is text, and should be displayed as-is without calculation.
The quote mark (") is not displayed as part of the text.

k Inputting a Formula into a Cell
For the sake of example, let’s try making a table that contains data based on the formula
 ×  = . To do this, we would put  values in column
A,  values in column B, and calculation formulas (like = A1 × B1, = A2 × B2, and
so on) in column C. If the Auto Calc feature is enabled (On), the values in column C would be
recalculated and updated any time we change the values in column A or B.
In this example, note that we must start out the data in column C with the equal sign (=) in
order to indicate it is a formula. In addition to values, arithmetic operators, and cell reference
names, a formula also can contain built-in function commands (page 2-14) and special
Spreadsheet mode commands (page 9-19).

3. Copy the formula in cell C2 and copy it into cells C3 and C4. Move the cell cursor to cell C2
and then perform the following operation.
2(EDIT)2(COPY)c1(PASTE)c1(PASTE)J
• For details about the copy and paste operations, see
“Copying and Pasting Cell Contents” (page 9-14).

k Inputting a Cell Reference Name
Each cell on a spreadsheet has what is called a “reference name”, which is derived by
combining its column name (A through Z) with its row name (1 through 999). A cell reference
name can be used inside of a formula, which makes the value of the called cell part of the
formula. See “Inputting a Formula into a Cell” above for more information. There are two
methods you can use to input a cell reference name: direct input of the name and input using
the GRAB command. The following illustrates how you would use each of these methods to
input =A1+5 into cell B1.

u To input a cell reference name using direct input
Move the cell cursor to cell B1 and then perform the following operation.
!.(=)av(A)b+fw

9-11

u To input a cell reference name using the GRAB command
Move the cell cursor to cell B1 and then perform the following operation.
!.(=)1(GRAB)d1(SET)+fw
• Commands 2(GO) through 6(BTM→) on the submenu that appears when you press
1(GRAB) are identical to commands 1(GO) through 5(BTM→) of the JUMP command
submenu. See “Using the JUMP Command to Move the Cell Cursor” on page 9-7 about
these commands.

k Relative and Absolute Cell Reference Names
There are two types of cell reference names: relative and absolute. Normally, cell reference
names are treated as being relative.
Relative Cell Reference Names
In the formula =A1+5, the cell reference name A1 indicates a relative cell reference. It is
“relative” because copying the formula and pasting in a different cell will cause the cell
reference name to change in accordance with the location of cell where it is pasted. If the
formula =A1+5 is originally located in cell B1, for example, copying at pasting in cell C3 will
result in =B3+5 in cell C3. Moving from column B to column C (one column) causes A to
change to B, while moving from row 1 to row 3 changes (two rows) changes the 1 to 3.
Important! If the result of a copy and paste operation causes a relative cell reference name
to change to something that is outside the range of the spreadsheet cells, the applicable
column letter and/or row number will be replaced by a question mark (?), and “ERROR” will be
displayed as the cell’s data.
Absolute Reference Names
If you want the row or the column, or both the row and the column parts of a cell reference
name to remain the same to matter where you paste them, you need to create an absolute cell
reference name. You do this by affixing a dollar sign ($) in front of the part of the cell reference
name you want to remain unchanged. You have three options when using the dollar sign ($)
to create an absolute cell reference name: absolute column with relative row ($A1), relative
column with absolute row (A$1), and absolute row and column ($A$1).

u To input the absolute cell reference name symbol ($)
When inputting a cell reference into a spreadsheet cell, press 2($).
For example, the following key operation inputs the absolute cell reference name = $B$1.
!.(=)2($)al(B)2($)b

9-12

k Specifying Cell Formatting

• This will go into paste standby for the selected data, indicated by the 1 menu item
changing to (PASTE).
• You can exit the paste standby at any time before you perform step 4 below by pressing
J.
3. Use the cursor keys to move the cell cursor to location where you want to paste the data.
• If you selected a range of cells in step 1, the cell you select with the cell cursor will be the
upper left cell of the paste range.
• If the location you select is within the range that you copied, performing step below will
cause the exiting data to be overwritten with the pasted data.
4. Press 1(PASTE).
• This will paste the copied data.
• To paste the same data in other locations, repeat steps 3 and 4.
5. After you are finish pasting the data, press J to exit paste standby.

k Cutting and Pasting Cell Contents
You can use cut and paste to move the contents of one or more cells to another location. Cell
contents (regardless of whether it includes relative or absolute cell name references) generally
are unchanged by a cut and paste operation.

→

Cutting the formula =A1+5 in cell B1 and pasting it into cell B2. The A1 reference name is
unchanged.

9-14

When you are cut and paste a range cells, reference names that affect relationships within
the range are changed accordingly when the range is pasted in order to maintain the correct
relationship, regardless of whether they are relative or absolute reference names.

→

Cutting the B1:C1 range of cells that includes the formula =B1+5 and pasting it into B2:C2.
The formula pasted into C2 is changed to =B2+5 in order to maintain the relationship with
the cell to the left, which was also part of the pasted range.

u To cut and paste spreadsheet data
1. Select the cell(s) you want to cut.
• See “To select cells” (page 9-6) for more information.
2. Press 2(EDIT)1(CUT).
• This will go into paste standby for the selected data, indicated by the 1 menu item
changing to (PASTE).
• You can exit the paste standby at any time before you perform step 4 below by pressing
J.
3. Use the cursor keys to move the cell cursor to location where you want to paste the data.
• If you selected a range of cells in step 1, the cell you select with the cell cursor will be the
upper left cell of the paste range.
• If the location you select is within the range that you cut, performing step below will cause
the exiting data to be overwritten with the pasted data.
4. Press 1(PASTE).
• This will paste the data from the cell(s) you selected in step 1 and paste it into the location
you selected in step 3.
• Regardless of whether Auto Calc is enabled or disabled (page 9-5), pasting cut data will
cause all of the formulas in the spreadsheet to be recalculated.

9-15

k Inputting the Same Formula into a Range of Cells
Use the Fill command when you want to input the same formula into a specified range of cells.
The rules governing relative and absolute cell name references are the same as those for copy
and paste.
When you need to input the same formula into cells B1, B2, and B3, for example, the Fill
command lets you do so by inputting the formula once, into cell B1. Note the following about
how the Fill command handles cell name references in this case.
When cell B1 contains this:

The Fill command will do this:

=A1×2

A

B

1

=A1×2

2

=A2×2

3

=A3×2

=$A$2×2

A

B

4. Conditional Formatting
The conditional formatting function can be used to define conditional expressions (such as
A1<0) that determine the formatting (text color, area color, paint style) of a cell.

k Conditional Formatting Overview
You can specify up to two conditions for each cell.
Pressing 6(g)5(CONDIT) displays the Condition screen.

To select a particular condition, move the highlighting to the “Condition” line and then press
1(COND1) for Condition1 or 2(COND2) for Condition2.

u Condition Priority Sequence
When you have multiple conditions defined for a cell, they are applied starting from the lower
numbered condition first. If Condition1 is 0≤A1≤10 and Condition2 is 10≤A1≤20, for example,
both conditions are satisfied when A1=10 and the formatting specified by Condition1 is
applied.
If a cell is configured directly using the procedure under “To specify cell formatting” (page 9-13)
and with conditional formatting, application of the conditional formatting is given priority over
the direct settings.

u Condition Types
There are two different condition types: Value Of Cell and Expression.

• Type: Value Of Cell
Use this condition type to define a condition based on a formula (such as A1<0) that
references a value input into the cell. For example you could configure cell A1 so its text is red
when A1<0, and blue when 1100, A1 text is blue.
• When CellSum(B1:B30)≤A1, A1 text is blue, and when A1, etc.).  stands for a single cell
reference (such as A1).
=ERROR, =BLANK, ≠ERROR, ≠BLANK, =,
≠

u To delete conditional formatting settings
1. Select the cell or range of cells whose conditional formatting you want to delete.
• Performing step 2 below will immediately clear, without any confirmation message, both
the conditional formatting as well as any character color, area color, and paint style
settings configured for the selected cell(s).
2. Press 5(CLEAR)2(FORMAT).

k Conditional Formatting Setting Example
In this example we will show how to configure the range of cells B3:C4 with the conditional
formatting shown below. This procedure assumes that the cells already contain values.

2. Press 6(g)5(CONDIT) to display the Condition screen.
• Condition1 appears first, so configure the first condition here.
3. Use c to move the highlighting to “Expre” (Expression) and then press 6(g)1(C<).
• Initially, “Cell < Value” is displayed in the Expre line.
4. Use c to move the highlighting to “Value” and then press aw to input 0.
5. Use c to move the highlighting to “Format” and then press 1(SETFORM).
• On the FORMAT dialog box that appears, configure the following settings:
Character Color: Red, Area Color: Yellow, Paint Style: Normal.
6. Use f to move the highlighting to “Condition1” and then press 2(COND2) to display
Condition2.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 5 above to configure the Condition2 settings.
• Input 1(≤C≤) in the “Expre” line, aw in the “V1” line, and baaw in the
“V2” line.
• In the “Format” line, press 1(SETFORM) and then configure the following settings:
Character Color: Blue, Area Color: Magenta, Paint Style: Lighter.
8 Press J.
• This returns to the screen in step 1 of this procedure
and applies the formatting you configured to each cell.

Note
• It may take some time to display calculation results when a large number of cells containing
conditional formatting are selected.
• Cell modification and recalculation may take some time to complete when there is a large
amount of conditional formatting.

5. Drawing Statistical Graphs, and Performing
Statistical and Regression Calculations
When you want to check the correlation between two sets of data (such as temperature and
the price of some product), trends become easier to spot if you draw a graph that uses one set
of data as the x-axis and the other set of data as the y-axis.
With the spreadsheet you can input the values for each set of data and draw a scatter plot or
other types of graphs. Performing regression calculations on the data will produce a regression
formula and correlation coefficient, and you can overlay a regression graph over the scatter
plot.
Spreadsheet mode graphing, statistical calculations, and regression calculations use the
same functions as the Statistics mode. The following shows an operation example that is
unique to the Spreadsheet mode.

k Example of Statistical Graph Operations (GRAPH Menu)
Input the following data and draw a statistical graph (scatter plot in this example).
0.5, 1.2, 2.4, 4.0, 5.2

–2.1, 0.3, 1.5, 2.0, 2.4

(y-axis data)

u To input data and draw a statistical graph (scatter plot)
1. Input the statistical calculation data into the spreadsheet.
• Here we will input the x-axis data into column A, and the y-axis data into column B.
2. Select the range of cells you want to graph (A1:B5).

3. Press 6(g)1(GRAPH) to display the GRAPH menu, and then press 1(GRAPH1).
• This will produce a scatter plot of the data in the range
of cells you selected in step 2 of this procedure.
• The graph shown here is what is produced under initial
default Spreadsheet mode settings. You can change
the configuration of graph settings on the screen that
appears when you press 6(SET) on the GRAPH
menu. For details see “General Graph Settings Screen
Operations” below.

k Saving a File
Use the procedures in this section to save a file after inputting or editing it on the workspace
screen.
An eActivity file for the fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU may have a
file name extension of “g3e”. Performing either of the following operations on the fx-CG10/
fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU to save an eActivity file always will cause the
extension “g3e” to be appended to the file name.
• Saving a newly created file
• Saving an existing file using the “save as” operation (1(FILE)2(SAVE • AS))
If you save an eActivity file using the fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU to
save a file with a file name extension “g2e” (a file transferred from an older version calculator),
it will be saved as a new file with the file name extension “g3e”.

u To replace the existing file with the new version
Press 1(FILE)1(SAVE) to save the currently open file.

u To save a file under a new name
1. On the eActivity workspace screen, press 1(FILE)2(SAVE • AS).
• This will display a file name input screen.
2. Input up to 8 characters for the file name and then press w.

asking if you want to replace the existing file with the new one. Press 1(Yes) to replace
the existing file, or 6(No) to cancel the save operation and return to the file name input
dialog box in step 2.

Important!
• An eActivity file with the g3e file name extension cannot be opened by any CASIO calculator
model older than the fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU.
• Using the fx-CG10, fx-CG20, fx-CG20 AU, fx-CG50 or fx-CG50 AU to open an eActivity
file with a file name extension of g1e or g2e, which was created on an older model CASIO
calculator (fx-9860G, fx-9860GII, fx-9860G AU, fx-9860G AU PLUS, GRAPH 85/85 SD,
GRAPH 95/75), will cause any G-MEM (Graph memory) or DYNA MEM (Dynamic Graph
memory) instances in the eActivity strips to be deleted.

10-22

k Displaying the eActivity Memory Usage Screen
The maximum size of an eActivity file is approximately 29,000 bytes.* You can use the
eActivity file memory usage screen to check how much memory capacity remains for the file

Chapter 11 Memory Manager
This calculator includes main memory and storage memory for data storage.
The main memory is a work area where you can input data, perform calculations, and run
programs. Data in the main memory can be deleted by batteries going dead or when you
perform a reset.
Storage memory is an area for storing eActivity files, picture data (g3p files), and other
relatively large-volume data. The storage memory uses “flash memory,” so data is safe even
when power is interrupted. Normally, you should use the storage memory for data you need to
store securely for long periods, loading data into the main memory only when you need it.

1. Using the Memory Manager
From the Main Menu, enter the Memory mode.
• {MAIN} ... {displays main memory information}
• {STRGMEM} ... {displays storage memory information}
• {BACKUP} ... {main memory backup}
• {OPT} ... {storage memory optimization}

k Memory Information Screen
The memory information screen shows information about one memory at a time: the
calculator’s main memory or storage memory.
To display this memory information screen:

Press this key:

Main memory

1(MAIN)

Storage memory

2(STRGMEM)

11-1

11

• Use the cursor f and c keys to move the highlighting and check the number of bytes
used by each type of data.
• The status bar shows the remaining capacity of the currently displayed memory area (main
or storage).
• If the name of a file transferred to storage memory from your computer or other source
has a file name that is more than eight characters long, its name will abbreviated to
eight characters when displayed on the storage memory information screen (Example:
AAAABBBBCC.txt > AAAABB~1.txt). Also, if a file name extension has more than three
characters, everything after the third character of the file name extension will be trimmed off.
• Up to 300 files per folder can be displayed on the main memory information screen. If a
folder has more than 300 files and you need to display them all, divide them among multiple
folders so the total number of files in a single folder is not greater than 300.
• Up to 200 files per folder can be displayed on the storage memory information screen. If a
folder has more than 200 files and you need to display them all, divide them among multiple
folders so the total number of files in a single folder is not greater than 200.
• Though you can create folders on your computer nested to more than three levels in storage
memory, this calculator will display only up to the third level.
• Moving the highlighting to a data group or folder and pressing w will display the data group
or folder contents. Pressing J will return to the previous screen.
• While storage memory folder contents are displayed, the top line of the screen shows the file
path to the current directory level. “SMEM” stands for “Storage Memory”.
• The following are characters that can be used in file names and folder names.
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, !, #, $, %, ', ,(comma), (, ), +, –, ., ;, =, @, [, ], ^, _, `, ~, space

k Transferring Data between the Calculator and a Personal Computer
This section explains how to connect the calculator to the computer and open the calculator
drive on the computer to transfer data.

u Main Memory Data during a USB Connection
The contents of the @MainMem folder in the calculator drive correspond to the contents of the
calculator’s main memory. Each time you establish a connection between the calculator and a
computer, the contents of the calculator’s main memory are copied to storage memory.
If there is not enough storage memory capacity to support the copy operation, the message
“Storage Memory Full” will be displayed on the calculator and the copy operation will not be
performed. If this happens, delete files you no longer need from storage memory to increase
capacity, and then try establishing a USB connection again.
Each group in main memory is displayed as a folder in the @MainMem folder. Also, each data
item in main memory is displayed as a file in the @MainMem folder.
Main Memory group names and data item names are displayed in the @MainMem folder as
shown in the table below.

u Main Memory Data Updating upon Termination of a USB Connection
While there is a USB connection between the calculator and a computer, you can use the
computer to edit the @MainMem folder contents by deleting folders and files, editing files,
adding files, etc. When you terminate the USB connection, the calculator’s main memory data
is updated with the current contents of the @MainMem folder. Note the following important
points.
• Deleting the @MainMem folder will cause all data in the calculator’s main memory to be
initialized.
• Updating the @MainMem folder affects up to three levels of folders inside the storage
memory root folder.
SMEM ← Storage memory root folder
@MainMem (Level 1)
Folder (Level 2)
Folder (Level 3) ← Updating affects files up to this
Any folders and files past Level 3 are moved to a folder named “SAVE-F” in storage memory.
• Adding a g3m file to the @MainMem folder while there is a USB connection between
the calculator and a computer will copy the data item(s) included in the g3m file to the
calculator’s main memory. For details about the main memory data item names that
correspond to the g3m file names in the @MainMem folder, see “Main Memory Data during
a USB Connection” (page 13-5). If there is no group in main memory that corresponds to the
data items included in the g3m file, a corresponding group will be created automatically and
the data items will be copied to that group.
• Depending on the data type, an overwrite confirmation message will appear if there is
already data with the same name in calculator’s main memory as the data being copied from
@MainMem folder. For information about which types of data cause a confirmation message
to appear, see the “Overwrite Check” column in the data table on page 11-3. “Yes” means
that a confirmation message is displayed, while “No” indicates that the copy operation is
performed without any confirmation message.

13-6

• If you place a file or folder that is not supported by the calculator into the @MainMem folder,
it will be transferred to a folder named “SAVE-F” in the calculator’s storage memory and will
not be shown in main memory.
• If the size of the data in the @MainMem folder exceeds the available capacity of main
memory, the message “Memory ERROR” will appear on the calculator when you terminate
the USB connection and main memory will not be updated.
• If there is an add-in file (.g3a/.g3l) in the @MainMem folder, that file will be moved to the
storage memory root directory. Note, however, that if there is already and add-in with the
same name in storage memory root directory, the existing add-in will be overwritten with the
new one, without displaying a confirmation message.
• If a text file (.txt) has been added to the @MainMem\PROGRAM folder, it will be
automatically converted to a program with same name as the file and stored in the main
memory PROGRAM group. For details about the rules that govern file names and other
conversion issues, see “Program and Text File Conversion Rules” (page 8-8).

u To transfer data between the calculator and a computer
1. Connect the calculator and computer, and open the calculator drive on the computer.
• See “To establish a connection between the calculator and a computer” (page 13-3).

2. Copy, edit, delete, or add files as desired.

TextEdit, etc.
4. Perform the required edits.
• For information about calculator commands and their corresponding special character
strings, see “CASIO Scientific Function Calculator Special Commands ⇔ Text Conversion
Table” (page 8-60).
5. After you are finished editing, save and close the text file.
• Save the edits under a different file name, as required. If you use Save As to save your
edits, be sure to save the new file in @MainMem\PROGRAM\.
• Be sure to save the file in ASCII or ANSI code txt format.
6. Terminate the connection between the calculator and a computer

k USB Connection Precautions
• Depending on the operating system your computer is running, perform one of the following
operations on the computer to terminate a connection with the calculator.
- Windows: Click the “Safely Remove Hardware” icon in the task tray in the lower right corner
of the display. On the menu that appears, select “USB mass storage device”. Check to
make sure the “Safe To Remove Hardware” message is displayed.
- Mac OS: Drag the calculator drive to Trash. Check to make sure that the calculator drive is
no longer on your desktop.
• Never use a computer operation to format the calculator drive.
Doing so will cause a “File System ERROR” message to appear on the calculator screen
after you terminate the USB connection between the calculator and computer. When this
happens, you will not be able to start up the calculator unless you perform an Initialize All
operation, which deletes all data currently in calculator memory. For details, see “File System
ERROR” (page α-8).
• When copying a file from your computer’s local disk to the calculator drive, it may take
several minutes before copying starts. This is because copying automatically performs
optimization of the calculator’s storage memory. It does not indicate malfunction. For
information about storage memory optimization, see “Optimizing Storage Memory” (page
11-13).
• A USB connection between the calculator and a computer may be terminated automatically if
the computer enters a power save mode, sleep mode, or any other standby state.

k Performing a Data Transfer Operation
Connect the two calculators and then perform the following procedures.
Receiving calculator
To set up the calculator to receive data, press 2(RECV)
while the data communication main menu is displayed.

The calculator enters a data receive standby mode and waits for data to arrive. Actual data
receive starts as soon as data is sent from the sending calculator.
Sending calculator
To set up the calculator to send data, press 1(TRANSMIT) while the data communication
main menu is displayed.
This displays a screen for specifying the data selection method.
• {SELECT} ... {selects new data}
• {CURRENT} ... {automatically selects previously selected
data*1}

*1 The previously selected data memory is cleared whenever you change to another mode.

u To send selected data items (Example: To send user data)
Press 1(SELECT) or 2(CURRENT) to display a data item selection screen.
• {SELECT} ... {selects data item where cursor is located}
• {ALL} ... {selects all data}
• {TRANSMIT} ... {sends selected data items}

Use the f and c cursor keys to move the cursor to the data item you want to select and
press 1(SELECT) to select it. Currently selected data items are marked with “ ”. Pressing
6(TRANSMIT) sends all the selected data items.
• To deselect a data item, move the cursor to it and press 1(SELECT) again.

13-11

u To execute a send operation
After selecting the data items to send, press 6(TRANSMIT). A message appears to confirm
that you want to execute the send operation.
• 1(Yes) ... sends data
• 6(No) ... returns to data selection screen

Press 1(Yes) to send the data.

• You can interrupt a data operation at any time by pressing A.
The following shows what the displays of the sending and receiving calculator look like after
the data communication operation is complete.

Press J to return to the data communication main menu.
For information about the types of data items that can be sent, see “Main Memory” (pages
11-3 and 11-4). The following explains the meanings of the “Yes” and “No” indications in the
“Overwrite Check” column on those pages.
Yes: Overwrite check is performed. If the receiving calculator already contains the same type
of data, the message below appears to ask if the existing data should be overwritten with the
new data.
Data item name

13-12

Press 1(Yes) to replace the receiving calculator’s existing data with the new data, or 6(No)
to skip to next data item.
No: Overwrite check is not performed. If the receiving calculator already contains the same
type of data, the existing data is overwritten with the new data.

k Data Communication Precautions
Note the following precautions whenever you perform data communication.
• An error occurs whenever you try to send data to a receiving calculator that is not yet
standing by to receive data. When this happens, press J to clear the error and try again,
after setting up the receiving calculator to receive data.
• An error occurs whenever the receiving calculator does not receive any data approximately
six minutes after it is set up to receive data. When this happens, press J to clear the error.
• An error occurs during data communication if the cable becomes disconnected, if the
parameters of the two calculators do not match, or if any other communication problem
occurs. When this happens, press J to clear the error, then correct the problem before
trying data communication again. If data communication is interrupted by the J key
operation or an error, any data successfully received up to the interruption will be in the
memory of the receiving calculator.
• An error occurs if the receiving calculator memory becomes full during data communication.
When this happens, press J to clear the error and delete unneeded data from the
receiving calculator to make room for the new data, and then try again.
• When sending data from the fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU to an older
model calculator, folders in storage memory are not sent. In this case, send individual files
(not folders).

k Exchanging Data with another Model Calculator
Though it is possible to exchange data between this calculator (fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20
AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU) and the other CASIO calculator models listed under “To connect
two calculators” (page 13-10), there are certain restrictions that apply when exchanging data
with an older model calculator.

u Transferring Data from this Calculator to an Older Calculator Model
Basically, only data for functions that are available on both this calculator (fx-CG10/fx-CG20/
fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU) and the older model can be transferred.
Data for a function that is available on this calculator but not on the older model cannot be
transferred. Transferring Graph mode graph expression data (Y=DATA) from this calculator to
the fx-9860GII, for example, will cause color information to be dropped automatically, because
the fx-9860GII does not support color.

13-13

The following table shows how each type of data is handled when transferring from this
calculator (fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU) to an older model CASIO

The pixel values in the arguments of Text, PxlOn, PxlOff, Pxlchg, and PxlTest( commands
are transferred as-is. Because of this, executing a program that includes these commands
on an older calculator model will result in incorrect display or a Syntax ERROR.
*5 When a Setup item is configured to settings supported by this calculator (fx-CG10/fxCG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU) but not supported by the receiving calculator,
the receiving calculator’s setting is set to its default value. If “Thin” is selected for the fxCG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU “Sketch Line” Setup item, for example,
the setting will be changed to “Normal” on the receiving calculator. Setup items that are
supported by this calculator (fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU) but not
by the receiving calculator are not transferred.

*6 Conditional formatting data is not sent.
*7 The V-Window dot value is recalculated in accordance with the number of screen dots of
the receiving calculator.
*8 Data can be transferred to a calculator with E-CON2/E-CON3 equipped, but the data
cannot be used.

u Transferring Data from an Older Calculator Model to this Calculator
Almost all data produced by an older model CASIO calculator can be transferred to this
calculator (fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50 AU).
• Some data may be converted in order to make it compatible with this calculator’s
specifications. Transferring Graph mode graph expression data (Y=DATA) from the fx9860GII to this calculator, for example, will cause the V-Window dot value to be corrected
because the displays of the two models have different numbers of dots.
• In some cases, color data may be appended to data and other adjustments may be
performed automatically. In this case, the adjustments use initial default values. Transferring
Graph mode graph expression data (Y=DATA) from the fx-9860GII to this calculator, for
example, the default color (blue) is applied for the graph color.
• Even if Wakeup is turned on (page 13-1), the Wakeup function is disabled.
The following table shows how each type of data is handled when transferring from an older
model CASIO calculator to this calculator (fx-CG10/fx-CG20/fx-CG20 AU/fx-CG50/fx-CG50

5. Using the Measurement Box
Pressing J displays a measurement box at the bottom of the screen as shown below.

Measurement Box
You can use the measurement box to perform the following operations.

View the measurements of an object
Displaying the measurement box and selecting an object displays combinations of the
following measurements, depending on the type of object you select: coordinates, distance/
length, slope, equation, vector, radius, circumference, perimeter, area, angle, supplementary
angle, tangency, congruence, incidence, or point on curve.

Specify the measurement of part of an object
After you display the measurement box, you can select part of an object and then change
numeric values for the applicable measurement. You can specify the coordinates of a point,
the length of a line segment (distance between endpoints), the angle formed by two lines, etc.

Lock the measurement of part of an object
After you display the measurement box, you can select part of an object and then lock the
applicable measurement. You can lock the coordinates of a point, the length of a line segment,
the angle formed by two lines, etc.

k Viewing the Measurements of an Object
The type of information that appears in the measurement box depends on the object that is
currently selected on the display. If a line segment is selected, for example, the measurement
box shows the distance, slope, or the equation for that line. You can specify the type of
information you want to view by highlighting the up arrow button to the left of the measurement
box, pressing the w (or f) key, and then using the cursor keys to highlight the appropriate

the measurement box.

4. To make the drawing screen active, press J.
• This causes the measurement box to become
unhighlighted and the pointer to reappear on the
drawing screen.

5. Press o to deselect the current points and then select points A, D, and C.
• This causes the area of the triangle ADC to appear in
the measurement box. The above procedure shows that
the areas of the two triangles are the same.

6. To close the measurement box, press J.

14-44

Note
A value that shows the area of an object whose lines intersect is indicated by double asterisks
(``) to the left of the value. This indicates that the value may not indicate the correct area.

k Specifying a Measurement of an Object
In the following examples, we specify the angle of a triangle and the length of one side of a
triangle.

u To specify the angle of a triangle
1. Draw a triangle.
2. Select side AC and then select side BC.
3. Press J to display the measurement box.
• This displays the size of ∠ACB (in degrees) in the
measurement box.

4. Input the value you want to specify for ∠ACB (in degrees) into the measurement box and
then press w.
• In this example we input 90, which makes ∠ACB 90 degrees.

→

5. To close the measurement box, press J twice.

14-45

Note
• Performing step 5 in the above procedure not only changes the measurement value, it
also locks the measurement. For details about locking and unlocking measurements, see
“Locking or Unlocking a Measurement of an Object” (page 14-47).
• Specifying a value can change an object in a way that is unexpected. If this happens, try
locking part(s) of the object (page 14-47) or temporarily unlock all objects (Clr Constraint,
page 14-48).

u To specify the length of one side of a triangle
Note
• Specifying any one of the following measurements for the first time in the file you are editing
(or immediately after an all clear operation: 2(Edit) – 6:Clear All) will cause the resulting
object to be resized so it fits within the display area.
- Length of one side of a triangle
- Length of a line segment or vector
- Length of one side of a rectangle, square, polygon, or regular n-gon
- Circumference of a circle or length of an arc
View Window settings will be reconfigured automatically so the size of the object on the
display may not appear to change very much.
The following example shows what happens when the length of the base of a triangle drawn
with default View Window settings (with a screen width of 10.7) is changed to 120.

→

View Window settings are reconfigured in order to ensure that specifying a measurement of
an object does not make it too big to fit on the screen or too small to see. Note that all other
objects currently on the screen also will be resized by the same amount at the object whose
measurement you are specifying.
• Once you specify one measurement of an object, it will not be resized further if you specify
another of its measurements.

14-46

k Locking or Unlocking a Measurement of an Object
By “locking a measurement” we mean that the corresponding object cannot be moved. For
example, if we lock a point to a circle and move the circle, the point will also move.

u To lock or unlock a measurement
The icon to the right of the measurement box indicates whether a measurement is locked or
unlocked.
Measurement is unlocked.
Measurement is locked.

u To lock a particular measurement

are locked automatically whenever they are drawn. For example, the above operation unlocks
all of the following lock conditions.
• The lock that is applied when you draw a rectangle that keeps its opposing sides equal
(opposing side congruence lock)
• The lock that is applied when you draw an isosceles triangle (ABC) that keeps side AB and
side BC equal (side AB and side BC congruence lock)
• The lock that is applied when you draw an infinite line that keeps the line passing through
two points (point A and point B) (infinite line and point A, B incidence lock)
• The relationship between the line segment and perpendicular bisector that is formed when
you select a line segment and perform the following operation: 4(Construct) – 1:Perp
Bisector.
• The (locked) similarities of objects when you select the objects and perform the following
operation: 5(Transform) – 5:Dilation.

• This specifies point D (the one you selected in step 13) as the “trace point”.
15. Perform the following operation: 6(Animate) – 5:Go (once).
• This should cause a parabola to be traced on the
display. Note that line segment AB is the directrix and
point C is the focus of the parabola.

Note
• All of the points that are currently selected on the screen become trace points when you
perform the following operation: 6(Animate) – 3:Trace. This operation also cancels Trace
for any point that is currently configured as a trace point.
• The calculator’s auto power off feature will turn off power if an animation is being performed.
If calculator power is turned off (either by auto power off or manually) while an animation is
being performed, the animation will be stopped.

Chapter 15 Picture Plot
Note
fx-CG50 AU/fx-CG20 AU Users: Install the Picture Plot add-in application.
Picture Plot is an application that lets you plot points (that represent coordinates) on a
photograph, illustration, or other graphic and perform various types of analysis based on the
plotted data (coordinate values).
For example, the photograph below shows the nozzles of a fountain shooting thin streams of
water at different angles.

If we view the plane traced by the water of the nozzle closest to us in the photograph as an XY
Cartesian coordinate plane, we then will be able to express any point on the path traced by the
water as a coordinate (X, Y). The Picture Plot plot function makes it easy to plot points on a
photograph such as this or some other image, and extract the coordinate values of the plots.

Plotting points

Coordinates (plot list screen)

You can use the plots to perform the following types of operations.
• Register and graph a Y=f(x) form equation and overlay it on a photograph and plot. You
also can use the graph Modify function (page 5-38) to adjust the coefficient values of the
expression and find a function that lines up better with the plots.
• Perform regression calculation based on the plotted coordinate values and draw a regression
graph that overlays the plots. This makes it possible to produce the mathematical expression
and graph of a path of movement.

15

15-1

• Add time values (T) to the coordinate values (X, Y) and plot points on the T-X plane or T-Y
plane. This makes it possible to produce the mathematical expressions and graphs of the
correlation between horizontal direction movement and time, and the correlation between
vertical direction movement and time.

2. Managing Picture Plot Files
Picture Plot requires the use of a background image file. The following types of image files can
be opened by Picture Plot.
g3p file ... A file that contains a single image.
g3b file ... A file that contains multiple images.
You can use an image file that is already built into the calculator, or you can use CASIO
original contents you download from http://edu.casio.com.

k Starting a Picture Plot Operation
A Picture Plot operation is started by entering the Picture Plot mode and opening an image
file (g3p or g3b).

Note
Opening an image file is required when you enter the Picture Plot mode for the first time
after purchasing or resetting the calculator. After that, the image file you last opened will be
opened automatically whenever you enter the Picture Plot mode. After opening an image file,
you do not need to do so again unless you want to change to another image file or reset the
calculator.

u To open a file
1. From the Main Menu, enter the Picture Plot mode.
• This displays the file list screen.
• If the file you opened the last time you used the Picture Plot mode is displayed (or if the
Picture Plot screen is currently displayed), press K1(FILE)1(OPEN) to display the
file list screen.
2. Use f and c to highlight the file you want to open, and then press 1(OPEN) or w.

k Saving a File
Plotting points on the Picture Plot screen and saving the file will cause the Picture Plot plot
data to be added to the image file (g3p or g3b). This does not affect the image data of the
original image file and the file name extension remains the same as what it was before the
Picture Plot data was added. This means that even if you add Picture Plot data to an image
file, you will be able to use that file in other modes. Note, however, that the plots will not be
displayed if you open such an image file in another mode. Also using an image file in another
mode does not affect its Picture Plot data.

As can be seen on the plot list screen, the data for each plot includes X and Y-coordinates, as
well as a time value T.
On the Picture Plot screen each plot is normally displayed as coordinates (X, Y) on an X-Y
plane, but time value T can be used to display plots as coordinates (T, Y) on a T-Y plane or as
coordinates (T, X) on a T-X plane.
• Under initial default settings, time values are 0, 1, 2, and so on (arithmetic progression with
a start value of 0 and a step value of 1), in accordance with the sequence that the points are
plotted. You can change the T value assigned to each plot by changing the start value and
step value.
• T-Y coordinate plots and T-X coordinate plots are displayed on a special screen called the
AXTRANS screen. The AXTRANS screen simultaneously displays the X-Y coordinate plots
and the T-Y or T-X coordinate plots as shown in the example below.

Calling E-CON4 Functions from an eActivity

13. Calling E-CON4 Functions from an eActivity
You can call E-CON4 functions from an eActivity by including an “E-CON strip” in the
eActivity file. The following describes each of the two available E-CON strips.
• E-CON Top strip
This strip calls the Time-based Sampling screen. This strip provides access to almost
all executable functions, including detailed Data Logger setup and sampling execution;
graphing and Graph Analysis Tools, etc.
Note
• Using an E-CON Top strip to configure a setup causes the setup information to be
registered in the applicable strip. This means that the next time you open the strip,
sampling can be performed in accordance with the previously configured setup
information.
• E-CON Result strip
This strip graphs sampled data that is recorded in the strip. The sampled data is
recorded to the strip the first time the strip is executed.

• E-CON Strip Memory Capacity Precautions
• The memory capacity of each E-CON strip is 22.5 KB. An error will occur if you perform
an operation that causes this capacity to be exceeded. Particular care is required
when handling a large number of samples, which can cause memory capacity to be
exceeded.
• Always make sure that FFT Graph is turned off whenever performing sampling with the
microphone. Leaving FFT Graph turned on cause memory capacity to be exceeded.
• If an error occurs, press !a(') to return to the eActivity workspace screen and
perform the procedure again.
• For information about checking the memory usage of each strip, see “To display the
strip memory usage screen” on page 10-21.
For details about eActivity operations, see Chapter 10 of this manual.
