TestPoint creates a Windows scientific calculator with just 


three objects and three action lines.


_______________________________________________________________





To create a calculator, select a data entry object, a display 


object and a math object.  Name the data entry object 


"calculate" and the display object "result" if you want to match 


the listing provided or simply leave them unchanged and use 


their default names. 





Drag the math formula in the math object to the Action List for 


the data entry object.  Drag the math object to the Action List 


and select calculate from the drop down menu.  Drag the display 


object to the Action List and then drag the math object into the 


display. 





That's it!





Select mode=run and enter any math equation supported by 


TestPoint in the data entry field.  When you press enter the 


results will appear in the display field. 





Save your work and then click on Utilities and select Add a 


Runtime Icon.  You will now be able to run your TestPoint 


Scientific Calculator by double clicking on the icon in the 


Program Manager. 





Want to add special function keys or a slider to change the 


number of digits displayed, graph your results or put them in a 


grid or a file?  The possibilities are endless.  Have fun!
