Section 2.1. About Tab Pages

The next six section of this manual reflects the six main areas of the Accessible Graphing Calculator: Speech, Calculator, Evaluator, Data Sets, Plot, and Wave. These areas are accessed through the Tab Pages displayed on the screen. Each of the following sections will discuss and demonstrate how to use the corresponding part of the Accessible Graphing Calculator's feature set. In addition, you will find links to example exercises relating to the topic of discussion. This manual will generally abbreviate Accessible Graphing Calculator as AGC.

When starting the AGC, the default Tab Page is "Calculator" and the focus is in the Tab page selection area. To transfer to another Tab Page, use the arrow keys. Alternatively, you can use the Options menu (use ALT O to access the options menu) to select a desired page.

The purpose and content of each Tab Page is as follows:

• Speech: This page contains options for controlling the SAPI speech characteristics and other program sounds.
• Keypad Calculator: simply called the Calculator: This page simulates a standard scientific hand-held calculator.
• Expression Evaluator: This is an advanced ASCII expression evaluator.
• Data Set 1 and Data Set 2: Two pages that each contain an expression box and data table.
• Plot: This page contains options for controlling the plot region and the visual appearance of the data plot, and determines the number of points to be calculated in the Data set tables.
• Wave: This page contains options controlling the format and sound characteristics of Audio Plots.
