RE: MKSA not working as per user guide
Hello,

It seems to be just a typo in the manual, fuzzy in several aspects:
1) It should be 0.08175_m*s^-1.
2) When entering in algebraic mode (as the manual suggests) you've to put composite units in parentheses: 8.175_(cm/s). In textbook entry this is auto-done for you.
3) MKSA puts units with negative exponents to the denominator, so 1_(s^-1) becomes 1_(1/s). Maybe it behaved differently in some former firmware version.

Luckily the Prime does it right.
Don't take the manual too literally.
