DB48X - Complex Number Handling

[TomC]

Hello:

I've started this new thread, separate from the main DB48X thread as my testing/interests here will be on the Complex Number performance which may not be of general interest to other DB48X testers. If others believe it should be in the main thread, I can put it there.

1. When using 'y to the x' function, the result returned is sometimes in polar form. Other times it is displayed in a form that is unintelligible.

Ex:

i to the i power returns a response in polar form.

2+i raised to the 2+i power returns a result I cannot read. (I cannot find a 'Show' function.)
(the result is about (-0.504, 3.104) Using the Re and Im functions shows that the calculator returned the correct result.

2. Regarding Complex number output, I would like to select between the following output formats:
a. X + iY
b. (X,Y)
c. R/Theta

I could not find a setting in the Modes menu for this functionality.

Again, thank you very much for your fine work!
