So if you wish to evaluate: Sqrt (4.2) + 6.3Prefix Functions Off: 4.2 Sqrt + 6.3 =Prefix Functions On: Sqrt 4.2 + 6.3 =Where Sqrt is the Square Root Button.You can also turn Precedence of Operators off for the Popup Calculator, so if you would prefer 5 + 2 * 3 = 21 rather than 11, then this option is for you.ESBUnitConv Pro: if you would like a more featured Conversion Utility with more conversions, Exponential Notation, Paper Trail, more customisation, enhanced calculator, online help and more, then check out ESBUnitConv Pro - only $19USD - or grab the whole suite of calculators including ESBCalc Pro for only $35USD.Note: ESBUnitConv Pro has many more Conversions, more Features and is updated more regularly than the Free version.More details at:http://www.esbconsult.com/esbcalcProducts Used=============Developed in CodeGear Delphi 2007http://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphiusingESBPCS for VCLhttp://www.esbconsult.com/esbpcsLMD-Toolshttp://www.lmdtools.com/Glyphs from GlyFxhttp://www.glyfx.com/Executable has been ASPack'ed:http://www.aspack.com/Installation uses:Inno Setuphttp://www.jrsoftware.org/Notes on ESBUnitConv====================1. Most conversions are only accurate to about 4 significant figures. Please take this into account before reporting "errors".2. Temperature Conversions do not allow you to go below Absolute Zero.3. The Screen Size, Position, various options, Popup Calculator Status, and the last tab your were on are saved between executions.4. Decimal Point and Thousand's separator should be displayed in what ever character the Regional Settings of your MS Windows 9X/NT/2000/XP is setup for. If you expect to see a ',' for a decimal point but don't then you may still have US (or something similar) settings.Notes on ESBUnitConv's Popup Calculator=======================================1. 10^x can be calculated using INV and LOG buttons, or by entering 10 and then using the x^y button.2. e^x can be calculated using INV and LN buttons, or by pressing the "e" button and then using the x^y button.3. x^1/y (i.e. the y-th root of x) can be calculated using INV and x^y buttons.4. Inverse exist for all the Trigonometric functions by using the INV button than one of SIN, COS or TAN buttons.5. The Radian/Degree toggle are saved between executions.6. Last Error (under info button) displays details about the last error that occurred. AC clears this.Known Problems==============1. Due to the lack of support for Scientific Notation, ESBUnitConv does sometimes cause "funny" things to happen when number get too large. Check out ESBUnitConv Pro if you need to play with bigger (and smaller) numbers.2. ESBUnitConv may not view correctly when certain "Large Fonts" are used and certain Themes. Try selecting a different Font and/or Theme. We improved on this significantly in recent releases.3. When dealing with a large number of digits and having thousands separators on can cause the fields to "overflow". Try adjusting Font and/or Font Size till you find one that you are happy with.Support=======Send your support questions to mailto:[email protected] let us know of any problems and especially let us know of things you would like to see added.---ESB Consultancy mailto:[email protected]://www.esbconsult.com/
