CASIO FX-710P

Description

Brand:	CASIO
Model:	FX-710P
Type:	BASIC-programmable Pocket Computer
Picture:
Batteries:	CR 2032 x 2
Lifetime:	Introduced: unknown Terminated: unknown
Notes:	This is a very small Pocket Computer programmable using a variant on the BASIC language. It can also be used for direct calculations. Functions can be selected using keys, or simply typed. Successor to the CASIO FX-700P/FX-802P and the CASIO PB-100/PB-300 Pocket Computers. It doesn’t have a lot of memory, 1568 programming steps and 26 memories. Its standard configuration however has 3616 steps (using a preinstalled 2 kB RAM module). Memory can be partitioned to have more than the standard 26 (A-Z) memory locations. Variables can be either a string of up to 7 characters, or a numerical value. It has 10 programming slots for storing separate programs. These can also be used as subroutines using the "GOSUB"-command. This Pocket Computer has one huge drawback. It doesn’t have a rerun function. In other words, if you type in a long calculation and make a mistake, the complete calculation has to be retyped. And the Pocket Computer doesn’t tell you where in your calculation the mistake occurs. See also the CASIO FX-720P and the CASIO FX-730P Pocket Computers.

Peripherals

There exists at least a printer for this model, also memory modules are available (called Option Packs). The CASIO FX-710P I own has the 2k Option Pack.
