Frequently Asked Questions on the ClassPad 300 are listed below. How is the ClassPad300 different from a conventional graphic calculator? The ClassPad300 is not a graphic calculator but a next-generation maths education tool. With the ClassPad300, pupils can not only manipulate complex mathematical expressions but also grasp the relationship between mathematically different fields (for example, vector and geometry) and learn how to think along the lines of mathematics easily. The ClassPad300 is different from a conventional graphic calculator in capabilities in that: . The ClassPad300 adopts a pen touch operation for inputting. . The ClassPad300 is able to input/output a natural mathematical expression. (the program mode is excluded) . For example, when you calculate using the ClassPad300, you can input a proper fraction, limit, differentiation, integral, and matrix in a mathematical expression in the textbook. . You can also output the calculation result in a natural mathematical expression. . The four application software programs have been added in addition to the capabilities of a conventional graphic calculator as follows. | eActivity | Geometry | Presentation | 3 Dimensional graphic | Can I operate the ClassPad300 in the same way as a conventional graphic calculator? Unlike a conventional graphic calculator, the ClassPad300 is operated with a pen touch operation. For example, it is necessary to select a menu or input a function or variable from the soft keyboard and Icon panel with the pen touch operation. (You can display and turn ON/OFF the soft keyboard from the keypad.) You can also input a figure, decimal point, variables x, y, z, symbols +, -, ×, ÷, =, comma, (),^ from the keypad of the ClassPad300. Can I run program made using a conventional CASIO graphic calculator with the ClassPad 300? No. You cannot run program made using a conventional CASIO graphic calculator with the ClassPad300. Can I connect the ClassPad300 to a personal computer? Yes. You can transmit and receive data, and transfer images using the link software ClassPad Manager stored in the CD-ROM that comes with the ClassPad300 and the exclusive cable. You can transfer the programs and materials (e-Activities) of the ClassPad300 made using a personal computer/ClassPad300 to the ClassPad300 using ClassPad Manager. Can I connect the ClassPad300 to the Data Analyzer EA-200? Yes. The Data Analyzer EA-200 is a digital device that makes it possible for you to sample data connected with everyday natural phenomena. How large is the memory capacity of the ClassPad300? 500 KB of RAM and 4MB of flash memory are installed in the ClassPad300.
