I forgot how to do it on the 50g - Ken Ratkevich - 11-06-2007

Hi,

I'm positive (almost) that I was able to convert a fractional bin # (like .011) to a dec # (.375) and vice-versa.

Am I nutz or is there a way?

Thanks in advance,

Ken

Hi Ken,

I'm pretty sure that non-decimal base operations for the 50G are integer only (after reading the users guide and experimenting with my 50G). The same goes for the 48GX and the 33S. About a year ago, I wrote a program for my venerable old 67 that would convert both the integer and fractional parts of a number between any two bases from 2 to 10 (don't ask me why). I could post it if you would be interested.

Best Regards, Hal
