fx-CG500 App Overview
The fx-CG500 App puts a virtual fx-CG500 on your mobile device screen, which you can use to
perform almost all of the operations that are available on your fx-CG500. This section explains
the differences between
fx-CG500 App operations and the fx-CG500 unit, and among the two fx-
CG500 App modes.
Differences between the fx-CG500 App and the
Functions of fx-CG500 Applications
The following are the differences between the fx-CG500 App and the functions of the fx-CG500
applications.
• Certain fx-CG500 settings and functions that are not required when running on a
mobile device
(such as touch panel calibration) are disabled on the fx-CG500 App. Attempting to access a
disabled setting or function will cause the message “Unavailable” to appear on the display.
• The E-CON3 application is not supported by the fx-CG500 App.
fx-CG500 App Data
Your fx-CG500 stores eActivity data in one memory area, and all other data (application data and
variables) in a different memory area. eActivity data is stored in “eActivity area”, while other data is
stored in “Main memory”. For details, see the fx-CG500 User’s Guide.
fx-CG500 App stores both types of data on your mobile device in “Virtual File” (.vcp) format files.
Under initial default settings, a file named “default.vcp” is created automatically for use as the fx-
CG500 App
’s “Active Document”.
