Ray,
I check my manual and found a summary list. My control's math page has both capital and lower case. Capital is the parameter, but you knew that already. The lowercase is for exponent (scientific notation). 1.000e-3 = .001 If you view your parameters once your program starts calculating, you'll see them in scientific notation. Don't know if I'll ever have a use for it, but it might come in handy some day. Rad is radians, I haven't needed to do any calculations using it yet, either. I use the squaring function quite a bit though, for trig. i.e. the hypotenuse of a triangle E3 = sqrt(E1^2+E2^2).
We don't have Mastercam, so we have to get by with Moshercam. You can also use it for other powers of a number E1^3, haven't needed it yet, but.
And for reciprocals E5^-1, I'm sure there's a need somewhere.
