Info: The Canola L163 is a model due to the seven high degree integrated COSMO LSI's designed specially for this model.
The calculation features are the same as those of the former CANON: 163,
but the L163 has exceptional features of the floating decimal point system, a percentage key, an automatic clearing system and a zero-suppress function.
Due to the LSI's, it has greater reliability and compactness.
