zero cpn bond

[kgolf20]

Hi, I was trying to find the calculator tutorial on here but having some trouble

I was hoping someone could help me price a zero cpn bond using the financial calculator. I am not sure what the various inputs should be. Unfortunately i dont have an example right now but i guess my biggest question is what should be input as PMT and N?

Here is a primer with several examples:

For zeros, just use PMT = 0 (no coupon). Periods are the same; e.g., if semi-annual, use years * 2 = N.
