Construction Advantage™ v2.0
Requirements: All PocketPC WM2000/WM6
Overview: The most advanced construction calculator software for your handheld PC.
Features:
Units and Conversions
* Entry and display of special formats:
o Feet-inches-fraction (e.g., 24' 7-3/16")
o Inches-fraction (e.g., 287-5/8")
o Degrees-minutes-seconds (e.g., 52.9.8 )
o Hours-minutes-seconds (e.g., 5:21:50)
o Minutes-seconds (e.g., 125:32)
o Fractions (e.g., 14-9/125, 32-1/2 kg)
o Binary, octal, and hexidecimal (e.g., 101101, 55, 2D)
* User-selectable inch fraction denominator (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, or 1000)
* Converts among and computes with over 70 different units (ft, m, lb, yd3, etc.), including both English/Imperial and SI/Metric units
* Computes directly with dimensional values (e.g., 70 lb/ft3 x 5 yd3 = 9450 lb)
Keypads and Entry Logic
* Algebraic and RPN entry modes (user selectable)
* Choice of feet-inchs-fraction entry modes using either the 16-key keyboard or decimal delimited entry. For example, to enter 4' 3-21/32", you would press:
o With 16-key keypad: [4] [3] [2] [1] [.] [3] [2]
o With decimal delimited entry: [4] [.] [3] [.] [2] [1] [.] [3] [2]
* Dedicated buttons for picking the units that you use most often (you can assign the units that you want to these buttons)
* Mini-keypad for easy entry when working with Solvers, Financial Calculations, etc.

* Option to show or not show a zero before inch fractions (e.g., 5' 0-3/4" vs 5' 3/4")
Additional Features
* "Paperless tape" that keeps your last 20 entries (you can also recall tape values to the main display)
* Memory with 10 locations - all support store, recall, add (M+), and subtract (M-)
* Advanced math function keys including triginometric, logarithmic, and power functions
* Easy input and editing, including backspace and ability to click the main display value to re-enter edit mode
* Ability to print and/or save Solver results (Windows version only)
* Automatically stores display, stack, tape, memory, and solver values when the software shuts down and restores these values when you restart the calculator
