Now let me show you how to convert degrees, minutes and seconds to decimal degrees
and back again.
This is something you can do on the Construction Master Pro,
the trig model or the desktop model with the exact same keystrokes.
It's a simple conversion of DMS coordinates to degrees.
Say you've got a set of plans that say
12 degrees 34 minutes and 56 seconds and you want to convert
that. You hit [Conv]
over the decimal point key it says DMS deg
12.58 degrees.
If you've got a set of plans that says something like
23.25
degrees. What is that in DMS?
[Conv][.]
23 degrees, 15 minutes and no seconds.
You can also use this function to add and subtract time values.
So that's a quick overview on the DMS conversion function.
