Using the Unit Conversion Assistant

In any application where math input is allowed, you can generate unit conversions using the Unit Conversion Assistant. This can help reduce syntax errors by automatically entering the units for you.

Example: Convert 528 minutes to hours. The desired expression is 528_min_hr.

1. Tap on the entry line.
2. Tap Utilities , then tap Unit Conversions.

3. Tap Conversion Assistant, then tap Done.

The Unit Conversion Assistant dialog box displays:

4. Tap the Category list and select Time. Then tap < Unit Conversion Assistant.

5. Tap the From list and select min (minute). Then tap < Unit Conversion Assistant.

Note: You can select Use existing unit at the bottom of the list if you have already entered a unit. In this example, you might have already entered 528_min.

6. Tap the To list and select hr (hour). Then tap < Unit Conversion Assistant.

7. Tap OK to paste _min_hr to the entry line.
8. Tap enter to evaluate the expression.

Note:

The last Category, From, and To selections will be retained until the language is changed, or the app is uninstalled or upgraded.
Inserting a conversion into a Notes text field will automatically create a Math Box.
Inserting a conversion into an empty line in the Calculator will automatically insert Ans before the conversion.
