Equipped with an adequate program memory and operating memory capacity

The body is compact; however, the standard program memory capacity of FP2/FP2SH is as large as 16k/60k steps, and when

optional memory is added, 32k/120k steps. A variety of operation memory types are also available. The maximum number of
