Please install both ScienceManual.prc and SciManualDB.pdb into your Palm.

Science Manual is a must have tool for researchers and students. It contains more than 676 units grouped in 38 categories, 112 chemical elements and more than 110 scientific constants sorted in 5 categories. It allows you to make unit conversion and check scientific constants and chemical elements. In addition, the flexible database allows you to manage any kind of scientific data you may have.

  1. Common Physico-Chemical Constants
  2. Mathmatical Contants
  3. SI Prefixes
  4. Density of Gases at STP
  5. Electromagentic Spectrum

3. Manage your own constants

You can edit/delete built-in constants, you can also create your own records. Each record contains 24 fields and 24 labels. You can custmizes the labels.

• Create New Record
  You can create a new record by tapping on New button on Constant List screen (Fig. 1) or on Constant View screen (Fig. 2). If you create a new record by tapping New button on Constant View screen (Fig. 2), the field labels will inherit the field labels from current record. For example, if you tap New button shown in Figure 2, the field labels of the new record will be Name, Symbol, Atomic Number, …, etc. If you create a new record from Constant List screen (Fig. 1), the field labels of the new record will inherit the field labels from the selected record or the first field in current category if no record is currently selected. If you do not want the record inherit any field labels, you need switch to Unfiled category. The field labels of the new record will be set to be "Other".

• Change Field Label
  To change a field label, tap on that field label to open Change Label screen (Fig. 3). Then tap Ok button to save the change or tap Cancel button to discard the change.
  

  (Fig. 4) Search

Science Manual will search all of fields until it finds a field containing the search key. For example, in Fig. 4, if you input "Bo", records which contain string "Bo" in any field will appear in the list. As long as you remember any piece of info a record has, you can easily to locate the data you need.

If you have a large amount scientific constants and do not want directly input them into Palm, please pack them into a Excel file in the following format (shown as Table 1 and 2. Column 1, 3, 5, … are label column and column 2, 4, 6, … are data column) and send the file to us, we will add your data into Science Manual's database and send the new database to you. If you want to share the data with other people, please let us know and give us permission to include the data you collected in Science Manual database. We are planning to public the data converter which will allow you to convert your data into Science Manual's database.
