The Basic, Basic RPN, and Tip calculators are yours to use
as long as you like. The other calculators require you to register
if you want to use them after the trial period.
Basic Stuff
To move between different calculators,
use the Go menu, and select the calculator
you wish to use.
Every calculator button can tell
you what it does. Tap the properties button on the menu bar
at the bottom of the display, then tap one of the calculator
buttons. Try it now!
About Installation and File Locations
CoolCalc installs its files into
2 directories:
- CoolCalc's Program files reside
in \Program Files\CoolCalc
- All macro files (*.mac) and layouts
(*.lay) are initially installed into your \My Documents folder.
You may move these to \Program Files\CoolCalc if you prefer.
However, moving these files causes them not to appear when
you use the File, Open menu command.
The Basic Calculator
The Basic Calculator
is self-explanatory, with the exception of the following buttons:
- Memory: Press the Memory
button to save the contents of the display in memory. The
box to the right of the Memory button has
the value currently stored. To recall the memory, tap on the
box to the right of the Memory.
- SWP: This button
swaps the last 2 values entered. For example, suppose you
want to find 5 divided by 2, but pressed 2 before 5. Before
tapping on the equals key, press SWP to reverse
the order of the values.
- Blank Buttons:
One of the advantages of having a simple, uncluttered calculator,
is leaving some space for your own commonly used functions.
CoolCalc's macro feature lets you
assign a series of button presses to a single button. For
example, you could make a "tip" function to calculate
a 15% tip on your restaurant bill. See how to do this in the
Macros section.
The Basic
RPN Calculator
The Basic RPN Calculator
has a stack view, two memory slots, and the ability to enter
numbers in Scientific notation. Here's an explanation
of some of the non-obvious choices:
- STO1, RCL1, STO2, RCL2:
These buttons store and recall values into memory. STO1
and RCL1 operate on memory register #1, and STO2 and RCL2
operate on register #2.
- EEX: This function
lets you enter numbers in Scientific notation. You can also
use the +/- button to modify the exponent. Try it!
- ENT: RPN calculators
have no = button. Instead, you type
in a number, press ENT to "enter"
it, type in a second number, and press the operation. This
has proven quite popular on HP calculators.
- Stack: This display
shows you the RPN stack. Each time you press ENT
or do an operation, the contents of this window change.
Note that although the number in the main display is technically
a part of the stack, it does not show in the stack window.
The Tip Calculator
The Tip Calculator makes
it easy to figure out how much everybody in your party owes
for dinner. Simply enter the amount, the number of parties,
and the desired tip percentage, and the Tip Calculator tells
you how much each payer owes.
For example, if you
receive a bill of $125 which you want to split three ways, and
leave a 15% tip, here's how you figure out how much everybody
owes:
- Enter 125, then press Set Amount.
- Enter 3, then press Set No.
People.
- Enter 15, then press Set Tip
%.
- Press the ? button next
to Tip $.
The amount everybody owes shows in
the display as $47.92.
The
Scientific RPN Calculator
This calculator is for
hard-core engineers who know HP's RPN system. (If you don't
know what RPN is, you should skip this section). CoolCalc's
stack can go 100 levels deep, and this calculator has a stack
view window, so you know exactly where you are. Most of these
functions will be very familiar to you, but the following functions
may need some clarification:
- ARC: This function
modifies the behavior of the sin, cos, and
tan buttons, to give you the arcsine, arccosine
and arctangent. For example, to find the arcsine of .7071,
press ARC, then sin, and
you'll get your answer: 45. (Note: CoolCalc defaults to doing
trigonometric functions in degrees, but you can easily shift
to working in Radians by tapping the RAD
button. The RAD button will convert the value
in the display from degrees to radians as well. You can use
the DEG button to go back to degrees.
- HYP: This is
like the ARC button, but makes sin,
cos, and tan into the hyperbolic
sine, hyperbolic cosine and hyperbolic tangent functions.
- ClStk: Clears
the entire stack.
- Roll: Pops the
last value off of the stack.
- STO, RCL: Stores
and recalls a single value in memory.
The Scientific
Calculator (non-RPN)
The non-RPN Scientific
Calculator has all of the standard scientific functions, plus
a few empty buttons for macros. Here's some of the CoolCalc
specific functions you might not understand immediately:
- Sto1, Rcl1, Sto2, Rcl2:
This calculator has 2 memory slots. Sto1
saves the value of the display into memory #1, and Rcl1
recovers that value; likewise with Sto2 and
Rcl2.
- The blank buttons are saved for
your own custom functions (see Macros).
The Loan Calculator
The Loan Calculator helps you plan
loan scenarios. You can determine what a monthly payment will
be, or given a target monthly payment, how much you can borrow.
The buttons on the left hand side let you set different variables,
which appear on the top of the display. The "?" buttons
calculate a variable given the current values of the other three
variables.
The
Time Value of Money Calculator
Similar to the Loan
calculator, the Time Value of Money calculator lets you do "what-if"
scenarios involving money, time and interest rates. Use the
buttons on the left hand side to set your variables, and use
the "?" buttons to find the value of a variable given
the current values of the other variables.
The Computer
Math Calculator
The Computer Math Calculator
does all the basic functions you need if you work with computers.
You can display and convert binary (BIN),
octal (OCT), decimal (DEC)
and hexadecimal (HEX) numbers. You can also
manipulate 16 bit or 32 bit numbers (the 16 bit
and 32 bit keys). (The "32" you see
on the top right of the screen shows you what bit size you're
currently working with, and the current base is shown just to
the right). STO and RCL are
a single value memory. The remaining functions let you shift
and rotate numbers, and do logical operations.
The
Currency Converter
The Currency Converter
is a great travelers aid. Just enter your exchange rate by pressing
the "Set Exchange rate" button, then enter a value
to convert to or from Dollars.
The
Date Calculator
The Date Calculator
lets you calculate the number of days between a starting and
ending date. In addition, given a start date and a number of
days, you can figure out the end date.
Example:
You arranged a legal contract that
has a deadline of 100 days after signing, and you want to know
when that date was. You signed the contract on January 7, 1999.
What date falls 100 days after 1/7/99?
Enter 1/7/99, then tap Set
Start Date. Next, enter 100 and tap Set Days.
Finally, tap the ? button to the right of "End
Date", and you'll get your answer: 4/17/1999.
Note: You can enter
years as 2 digits or 4 digits.
The Margin
Calculator
The Margin Calculator helps you calculate
Costs, Price and Margin. For example, enter 100, then press
Set Cost. Next enter 200,
and press Set Price. Finally, press the
? button next to the margin value, and the
margin is calculated. You could also use the same procedure
to solve for Price or Cost by entering any two of the other
variables, and then pressing the ? button next
to the third.
Creating Macros
Macros are simple way for you to
create your own personal functions by recording a series of
button presses. For example, here's how to program a "tip"
key into the basic calculator:
- First, make the Basic
calculator appear. Select Go, then Basic
from the menu.
- Enter a sample value before starting
to record. (Remember, creating a macro is just like recording
a series of button presses.) Enter 10.
- Now start recording. Select File,
Record Macro from the menu.
- You will be asked for a name of
the macro. Enter "Tip".
- Now start entering the macro.
To add the standard 15% enter X 1.15 =
- You're done entering the macro.
Select File, End Record Macro.
- You will be prompted with the
following: "OK to assign next button pressed to new macro?".
Select Yes.
- Now, tap one of the blank buttons.
On the face of that button should appear "Tip".
- Congratulations! You've successfully
created your first macro.
Macros For Advanced Users:
You can also edit a macro. Select
File, Edit Macro from the menu, then choose
Tip. Each button you pressed shows up as a
single line in the macro. You can change any of these lines,
but be careful, as a mistake can destroy your macro! Make sure
that all lines have two double quote characters in them.
Customizing
Calculators
CoolCalc allows you to change the
appearance and function of any button, as well as adding or
deleting them. The key to this is using Program Mode.
To enter Program Mode, select View,
Program Mode from the menu. You'll notice that the
menu changes slightly. To go back to using the calculator, select
View, Run Mode from the menu.
Once you enter Program Mode, you select a button, and then
alter its position, size, appearance or function as follows:
- To select a button:
Tap the button to select. A large border will appear around
the button, indicating that it is selected.
- To move a button: Place
the stylus in the center of the selected button, and drag
the button around the screen. You can also open the pop-up
keyboard, and use the arrow keys to move the selected button.
- To resize a button:
Place the stylus on the edge of a button, and drag the edge
around.
- To align other buttons
with the selected button: Say you want to align other
buttons with the top of a "master" button. Select
the "master" button, then select Align from
the menu, then select Top. From now on, any button
you press will be aligned with the top of the "master"
button. IMPORTANT: When you're done aligning, select
Align from the menu, then select Off. You can
align position, size, functions, colors and even sounds.
- To undo any button movement:
To undo a move or align, select Edit, then Undo
Move from the menu. You can undo the last 100 button moves.
- To change the button function,
sound or appearance: Select the button, then press the
properties icon(to the right of the menu). The button
properties dialog appears. (See Button
Properties .)
Don't forget to save your
work! Once you've finished modifying
a calculator, you'll want to save it. To save it under its current
name, select File, Save from the menu. If you
want to save it as a different calculator, select File,
Save As. All new calculators are saved in the \My Documents
folder.
When you've created a new calculator,
you will want to place it on the Go menu. Simply
open your new calculator, and select Go, Add to Menu.
Setting
Button Properties
To change the function or appearance
of any calculator button:
- Enter Program Mode (select View,
Program Mode from the menu.)
- Tap the button you want to change.
- Tap the properties icon on the
menu bar.
- The button properties dialog appears
as shown below:
You can customize each button with
the following options:
Function: This allows you
to attach a function to the button. Calculator specific functions
such as "plus" or "minus" always start with
a letter from "a" to "z". Other functions,
such as "_PlayMacro", start with the "_"
character. This was done to separate layout functions from calculator
functions.
Parameter: Some functions
require a parameter. For example, the _PlayMacro function
needs the name of the macro to play.
Alt. Keycap: This field lets
you dictate how you want the button to appear. If you leave
this field blank, then a default value will be used. If the
Format field is "Text", then the text string
you specify here will appear on the button. If you set the Format
to "Bitmap", then the bitmap file (*.bmp) image will
appear on the button.
Font: You can select a small,
medium or large font to draw the text on the button.
The small, medium and large fonts can be changed by the Edit
menu command while in Program Mode.
Align: You can have the button
text or bitmap image aligned left, center, or right.
Format: This is the display
format for the button: Money, Text, Real Number,
Integer, or Bitmap File. Most of the time, you
should set this to Text or Bitmap. Money, Real Number
and Integer are used with the _Variable or _Display
functions.
Sound: Select the
name of a sound file you want to hear when the button is pressed.
The sound file listed reside in the \Windows directory on your
device.
X, Y, Width, Height: These
specify the position and size of the button. You can also change
the position and size by dragging the button, or the edge of
a button.
Set Text Color, Set Bkgd.
Color: You can change the color of the text or background
in most buttons. You can pick a standard color, or enter
values between 0 and 255 for the Red, Green, and Blue components
of the color. Look at some of the samples, or experiment!

Function
Reference
_functions (underbar functions)
vs. functions
CoolCalc's function set is divided
into two types of functions: calculator functions, and layout
functions. To distinguish between the two, layout functions
always start with the underbar character: "_". Also,
note that the calculator can function in two modes: RPN, or
non-RPN. Some functions won't work in certain modes; for example,
the Enter function is meaningless in non-RPN mode, and the
Equals function is meaningless in RPN mode.
When you look at a macro via the
macro editor, you'll see something after each function name.
These are parameters, and all functions can take a single
parameter, although not all of them use one. Parameters are
always text strings. If you look at a macro file in the macro
editor, you will see functions like _AddDisplay:"1".
The "1" is the parameter to the AddDisplay function,
and this function adds the digit one to the display.
Another important point: some layout
functions can not be assigned to buttons. These will not appear
in the list of functions when you request the button properties.
For example, you cannot have a button that changes the typeface
of the small font. However, if you look at the layout macros,
you will see some of these functions.
Calculator Function List
10 to the X: Calculates
10 to the power of the value in the display.
Absolute value:
Make the value in the display positive.
Arc: Changes the
result of the Sine, Cosine and Tangent functions to Arcsine,
Arccosine or Arctangent. For example, to calculate the arc
sine, you could press ARC, then SIN.
Arc Cosine: Calculate
the arc-cosine of the display (in degrees or radians, depending
upon the mode set using Set Radians Mode or Set Degrees Mode).
Arc Sine: Calculate
the arc-sine of the display (in degrees or radians, depending
upon the mode set using Set Radians Mode or Set Degrees Mode).
Arc Tangent: Calculate
the arc-tangent of the display (in degrees or radians, depending
upon the mode set using Set Radians Mode or Set Degrees Mode).
Change Sign: Changes
the value in the display from positive to negative, or negative
to positive.
ClearStack: Clears
all values previously saved by pressing the Enter key (RPN
mode), or by pressing the left parenthesis key (non-RPN mode).
Use this in combination with the _Clear function to reset
the calculator.
Convert Divide: Divide
the value in the display by the parameter. This and Convert
Multiply are used to quickly and easily make conversion
calculator functions..
Convert Multiply: Multiply
the value in the display by the parameter. (See Convert
Divide.)
Cosine: Calculate
the cosine of the display (in degrees or radians, depending
upon the mode set using Set Radians Mode or Set Degrees Mode).

only in non-RPN mode, and has the same effect as a ")"
would in a formula.
Roll Stack: Removes
the top entry from the RPN stack.
RPN Mode: Turns
RPN mode on or off. This function requires a parameter of
"On" to turn RPN mode on, and a parameter of "Off"
to turn RPN mode off. The parameter is case sensitive.
Set Degrees Mode: All
trig functions will calculate using degrees. Also converts
the value in the display from radians to degrees.

the sine of the display (in degrees or radians, depending
upon the mode set using Set Radians Mode or Set Degrees Mode).
Square: Squares
the display; i.e. multiplies the value in the display by itself.
Square root: Takes
the square root of the value in the display.
Swap last 2 values:
RPN mode only. Switches the last value pushed onto the stack
via the Enter function with the value currently in the display.
Tangent: Calculate
the tangent of the display (in degrees or radians, depending
upon the mode set using Set Radians Mode or Set Degrees Mode).
View Stack: This
displays the RPN stack, with the most recently entered number
at the top of the display. The stack can be up to 100 entries,
and the View Stack button will show as many entries as will
fit in the size of the display.

Layout Function List
(blank): This
does nothing. Blank buttons needed to be assigned to some
function. (Note that the name of this function starts with
a space character. This insures it is the first function to
appear in the list).
_AddButton: (Layout
only) Starts the definition of a new button. The button won't
be created until the left, right, top and bottom points of
the button are specified via the _SetButtonLeft, _SetButtonRight,
_SetButtonTop, and _SetButtonBottom functions are called.
_AddDisplay: Adds
the parameter text to the display.
_Backspace: Erases
the last character entered via _AddDisplay from the display.
_Clear: Clears
the display.
_Display: This
doesn't do anything in itself, but any button that has the
_Display function assigned to it will show the value in the
display. Note that the button format should be Real Number.
_EnterText: Clears
the display, then enters the parameter into the display. This
is useful for setting up constants such as pi or e.
_EraseVariables:
Erases all variables.
_Help: Launches
help. The help file to be launched is the parameter.
_Label: (Layout
Only) This does nothing, but a button assigned to the _Label
