Floating point numbers exist only in decimal format. They can be entered using the scientific format: <code>3.1416E2</code> is equivalent to <code>314.16</code>.
Display can be forced to <code>SCI</code>entific or "<code>ENG</code>ineering" format (the exponent being a multiple of 3), with a defined number of digits after the decimal point of the mantissa:
1: { 123.45 0.012345 }
3 SCI
1: { 1.235E+02 1.245E-02 }
3 ENG
