Enter choice, 1 to 5 <current>: Enter a value (1-5) or press Enter

Enter number of fractional places for display of angles (0 to 8) <current>: Enter a value (0-8) or press Enter

The next prompt is for the direction for angle 0:

Direction for angle 0:

East 3 o'clock = 0

North 12 o'clock = 90

West 9 o'clock = 180

South 6 o'clock = 270

Enter direction for angle 0 <current>: Enter a value or press Enter

The default direction for 0 degrees is to the east quadrant, or 3 o'clock. The default direction for positive angular measurement is counterclockwise.
