RE: HP71 Scale10() function
I suppose (former) users of slide rulers will understand this function immediately.
The intermediate results are scaled.

I guess, it's mostly targeted at engineers to simply adjust the unit range

mA > µA - SCALE10(X, 3)

V > mV - SCALE10(X, 3)

g > kg - SCALE10(X, -3)

nF > pF - SCALE10(X, 3)

MHz > kHz - SCALE10(X, 3)

MHz > Hz - SCALE10(X, 6)


Over-/underflow on a HP calculator shall not be an issue, though.
Unless, you DO try to solve inter-galactic spacetime ( 4- dimensional ) problems on a Planck-Length scale.

Modern calculators just rot our mind - use FIX 3
