432-485: The 1970s and 80s, Casio was best known for its electronic (including scientific) calculators, electronic musical instruments and affordable digital watches incorporating innovative technology. Today, Casio is most commonly known for making durable and reliable electronic products. The G-Shock range of shock-resistant watches is also very popular, with the original 1983 G-Shock DW-5000C being highly sought-after by collectors. The scientific calculators made by Casio especially

468-409: The 1980s, Casio's budget electronic instruments and its line of affordable home electronic musical keyboard instruments became popular. The company also became well known for the wide variety and innovation of its wristwatches . It was one of the earliest manufacturers of quartz watches , both digital and analog. It also began selling calculator watches during this time. Casio also introduced one of

504-518: The 9860 models are much faster than previous models and can be programmed in C/C++ using the official software development kit . In 2009, the GII models were produced along with a corresponding OS update for the original 9860G, with new functions gcd/lcm/mod, random integer, units conversion, string functions, and new probability and inverse probability distributions available within programs. The 9860G OS update

540-584: The CFX-9850G. The 9850 series models have 3-colour screens apart from the fx-9750G which is black and white. The 9950G has 64k memory compared to the 32k of the original 9850G. The 9970G has symbolic algebra. Later versions such as Ga, GB and GC models fixed some bugs from the original G model and added some stats and finance features. The GB models have a built-in software library. (French versions: 9750=Graph 30,35,fx-8930GT; 9850,9950=Graph 60,65,CFX-9930GT,9940,9960; 9970=Graph 80) First made in 1996, this series

576-487: The Classwiz series according to Casio. A big change as compared to the PRIZM series is the non-availability of Casio BASIC programming language in the new calculator instead relying on only Python for programming as well as a more simplified exam mode. Another major change in the keyboard layout is the removal of function keys and their replacement with the directional keys for accessing the menu system. The calculator also adopts

612-512: The F100. The watch was one of the first wristwatches in the world to be made primarily out of resin , making it very light compared to other companies' heavy metal-made watches and enabling future Casio watches to enter mass production more easily. In 1989, Casio released another important wristwatch; the F-91W , the most sold wristwatch in the world with an annual production of 3 million units. In

648-621: The QV-10, the first consumer digital camera with a liquid-crystal display (LCD) on the back (developed by a team led by Hiroyuki Suetaka in 1995), the first consumer three-megapixel camera, the first true ultra-compact model, and the first digital camera to incorporate ceramic lens technology, using Lumicera . In July 2019, the company's UK arm, Casio Electronics Co. Ltd, was fined £3.7 million after admitting resale price maintenance (a form of price-fixing ) on their line of digital keyboards and digital pianos between 2013 and 2018, in breach of

Casio's products include watches , calculators , electronic keyboards and other digital products such as digital cameras ( Exilim series), film cameras , cash registers , laptops and sub-notebook computers, mobile phones , PDAs (E-Data Bank), electronic dictionaries , digital diaries (early PDAs), electronic games , personal computers (e.g. FP-1000, FP-200), computer printers , clocks , and portable televisions . In

720-458: The central and more important innovations of the calculator was its adoption of the 10-key number pad; at that time other calculators were using a "full keypad", which meant that each place in the number (1s, 10s, 100s, etc. ...) had nine keys. Another distinguishing innovation was the use of a single display window instead of the three display windows (one for each argument and one for the answer) used in other calculators. Casio Computer Co., Ltd.

756-431: The color scheme and the storage available to the user. Announced for January 2011, these models have a high-resolution color display (396x224 screen with 384×216 pixels (21×8 characters) window with 2 colors), a USB 2.0 port, 16 MB of flash memory and a feature called Picture Plot. The Prizm is permitted on all major standardized tests including ACT, SAT, AP, GCSE and GCE examinations. The only known difference between

792-435: The first watches that could display the time in many different time zones of the world and with features like recording temperature, atmospheric-pressure and altitude. In the later years, Casio's wristwatches were fitted with receivers to synchronise with radio towers around the world and Global Positioning System for timekeeping accuracy. A number of notable digital camera innovations have also been made by Casio, including

828-487: The fx-7400GII does not have a USB 1.1 port. The architecture of the 9750GII is similar to the 9860GII and therefore the former can be unofficially upgraded to the later Operating System offering more features particularly pretty printed equations and Vector arithmetic. This is not supported by Casio . The 7400, 9750 and 9860 GIII series was introduced in 2020 and includes a modern design language, increase in user memory for programming, support for implicit multiplication and

864-415: The fx-CG10 and the fx-CG20 Prizm versions is that the fx-CG10 cannot open picture files that have been edited by users. The SD card slot is no longer available. The processor is based on a custom Renesas SH4-A family SH7305 CPU. Additional features over fx-9860GII include: Although no official SDK has been released yet, several community SDKs exist using either some of the fx-9860G SDK tools or parts of

900-509: The fx-CG10/20 upon release. Subsequent OS updates for the fx-CG50 have further differentiated it from its predecessors, for example the addition of a MicroPython interpreter. The Classwiz CG Series was announced by Casio at the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) conference at Chicago , United States in late September 2024. The Classwiz CG succeeds the fx-CG Prizm Series initially announced in 2011. The first model in

936-427: The fx-CG10/20/50, it is reasonably hard for a user to create their own game. All of the games are coded by the community, based on the community's own SDK, and so feature copies of popular games that could be recoded to work on the device for example Tetris , Pong and Snake ; more complex games can also be coded, however due to storage constraints the size is limited. Some of the newer Casio graphing calculators have

972-417: The method for using array variables was changed to using lists and matrices. Some of the more recent Casio calculators have come with software that allows the user to link the computer to the calculator, download games already written for the calculators or code their own games and then have the software sync it to the device. However, due to the fact that Casio hasn't published a Software Development Kit for

1008-706: The same menu based layout as the Classwiz scientific calculators. In France, the Classwiz CG Series was introduced in March 2024 with reduced functionality and is known as the Graph Math +. A non-programmable variant with a monochrome screen called the Graph Math Light was also introduced in the French market for exams where programmable calculators are not allowed. Casio graphic calculators use

1044-512: The series, called the fx-CG100, retains the same power source as its predecessors (4 AAA batteries) instead of Li-ion batteries used by contemporary calculators and also adopts a USB C connector for connecting with a computer (instead of a mini-USB connector) while retaining the 2.5 mm I/O connector for connecting to other calculators. The fx-CG100 also adopts a more uniform design language shared with Casio's Classwiz scientific calculators in order to make an easier transition to different models amongst

1080-609: The short lifespan of the original flash memory used, these calculators stop working after a few years. Casio since stated that the problem was resolved. The Algebra FX 2.0 versions have symbolic algebra, while the FX 1.0 versions lack this. There are community written tools for accessing the ROM-DOS operating system thus allowing C and Pascal compilers to be used. Models: Algebra FX 2.0, FX 1.0, Algebra FX 2.0 Plus, FX 1.0 Plus (French versions: Graph 100, Graph 100+) First made in 2005,

1116-434: The yubiwa pipe to develop their calculators. Most of the calculators at that time worked using gears and could be operated by hand using a crank or using a motor (see adding machine ). Toshio possessed some knowledge of electronics and set out to make a calculator using solenoids . After dozens of prototypes were tested, the desk-sized calculator was finished in 1954 and was Japan's first electro-mechanical calculator. One of

1152-643: Was added to Casio graphing from the PRIZM fx-CG50 and the fx-9860 GIII series. From the latest Classwiz CG Series of graphing calculators, a switch was made to Python programming language. Loops are constructed by incrementing or decrementing the value of a variable with the Isz and Dsz commands in conjunction with the Lbl and Goto commands, rather than using simpler For or While commands. Arrays are achieved by overwriting other letters, for example A[0]=A, A[1]=B, A[2]=C. The available space for arrays can be extended with

1188-561: Was formed in June 1957. That year, Casio released the Model 14-A, sold for 485,000 yen , the first all-electric compact calculator, which was based on relay technology. In 1974, Casio released their first digital wristwatch, called the CASIOTRON. It was the first wristwatch in the world to include an automatic calendar function. In 1977, they released a retro-futuristic wristwatch, called

1224-560: Was founded in 1946, and in 1957 introduced the first entirely compact electronic calculator. It was an early digital camera innovator, and during the 1980s and 1990s, the company developed numerous affordable home electronic keyboards for musicians along with introducing the first mass-produced digital watches. Casio was established as Kashio Seisakujo in April 1946 by Tadao Kashio  [ ja ] (1917–1993), an engineer specializing in fabrication technology. Kashio's first major product

1260-500: Was not absolutely identical to an actual 9860GII model. The fx-9860G Slim and fx-9860GII have a display backlight which can be turned on and off.
