It allows users to switch seamlessly between number bases (HEX, DEC, OCT, BIN) and to perform bitwise operations, logical tests, and integer arithmetic with customizable word size (1–64 bits). Programming and Performance Users can program keystroke sequences with conditional branching, subroutines, labels, and flags. Program memory supports up to 203 bytes, and the calculator provides 99 data registers for versatile applications. The new model also includes the ability to save and load programs – a valuable feature for professionals and collectors alike.
