HP48GX, Commas - John Kercheval - 02-11-2006
Hello:
Can somebody tell me how to adjust the HP48 so that it automatically adds commas when I type in numbers >1,000?
Thanks!

To add commas automatically you will need to set the display mode to FIX instead of STD.

Not to be confused with the thousand's separator,
which isn't supported on the HP-48,
at least not out of the box;-)

I'm afraid you're wrong. A soon as you set FIX mode, the thousands are seperated by "," or "." depending on the definition of the decimal point. This is at least true for my 48S. The 28S does not display thousands seperators.

Hi Marcus,
I stand corrected;-)
I just checked on my GX,
and actually it displays the thousand's separators...
