Errors

When the TI-30XS MultiView™ calculator detects an error, it returns an error message with the type of error.

To correct the error, note the error type and determine the cause of the error. If you cannot recognize the error, use the following list, which describes error messages in detail.

Press - to clear the error message. The previous screen is displayed with the cursor at or near the error location. Correct the expression.

ARGUMENT — A function does not have the correct number of arguments.

DIVIDE BY 0 — You attempted to divide by 0. In statistics, n = 1.

DOMAIN — You specified an argument to a function outside the valid range. For example:

•

For xÑy: x = 0 or y < 0 and x is not an odd integer.

•

For yx: y and x = 0; y < 0 and x is not an integer.

•

For Ñx: x < 0.

•

For LOG or LN: x { 0.

•

For TAN: x = 90°, -90°, 270°, -270°, 450°, etc., and equivalent for radian mode.

•

For SIN-1 or COS-1: |x| > 1.

•

For nCr or nPr: n or r are not integers | 0.

•

For x!: x is not an integer between 0 and 69.

EQUATION LENGTH ERROR — An entry exceeds the digit limits (80 for stat entries or 47 for constant entries); for example, combining an entry with a constant that exceeds the limit.

FRQ DOMAIN — FRQ value (in 1-Var stats) < 0 or > 99.

OVERFLOW — You attempted to enter, or you have calculated, a number that is beyond the range of the calculator.

STAT — Attempting to calculate 1-var or 2-var stats with no defined data points, or attempting to calculate 2-var stats when the data lists are not of equal length.

DIM MISMATCH — Attempting to create a formula when the lists are not of equal length.

FORMULA — The formula does not contain a list name (L1, L2, or L3), or the formula for a list contains its own list name. For example, a formula for L1 contains L1.

SYNTAX — The command contains a syntax error: entering more than 23 pending operations or 8 pending values; or having misplaced functions, arguments, parentheses, or commas. If using q, try using W.

INVALID FUNCTION — Invalid function entered in the function table.

MEMORY LIMIT — The calculation contains too many pending operations (more than 23). If using the constant feature (K), you attempted to enter more than four levels of nested functions using fractions, square roots, exponents with ^, , e^x, and 10^x.

LOW BATTERY — Replace the battery.
