Unit conversions not possible in home mode - Adiwa - 06-24-2022 08:31 AM

Dear Forum

The examples show the possibility to convert units by the "convert"- command in home mode.

On my Prime I get a syntax error in home mode. I suppose it is, because I'm on RPN and so I can only write a semicolon and not a comma, as it is indicated in the examples. When I go to CAS, then I can do these conversions.

Is my appreciated RPN mode blocking me out of some functions in home mode?

Thanks for your replies
Adrian

Dear Didier

Thanks very much for your hint, I can do it now in home. The Prime is a very powerfull tool, but it's not a very intuitive tool.
