Picture:

Notes:	Sometimes it’s difficult to distinguish between a Pocket Computer and a general programmable calculator. This machine looks like a Pocket Computer but Canon calls it a "Scientific statistical calculator". It is keystroke programmable hence it should be classified as a Programmabe Calculator. It has a memory capacity of up to 7 memories, 336 steps. It has many statistical functions, clearly what this calculator is about. The calculator has a four-line, 20 character display. Its contrast can be set using a wheel at the top-left of the calculator. It has half a kilobyte of memory. This memory can be partitioned between programming steps and memories for data storage. In the default configuration there are 336 programming steps and 6 memory locations. As can be seen at the right part of the keypad, the calculator has all the functionality of a standard Scientific Calculator. When a calculation results into an error, or when a calculation needs to be repeated or altered, press the EDIT key followed by the . key. The calculator can store 7 algebraic expressions that can be used to program the calculator. It is keystroke programmable, there is no flow control. A great plus is that the algebraic expressions can be easily edited. It has a peripheral port to connect the Canon’s Thermal Printer X-711. The port can also be used to run the calculator on auxiliary power using Canon’s CH-3 Charger and PSC-3 Power Supply Cord.
