It works a bit different: you can add an action to the toolbar which will open this calculator. It is not meant to replace the built in pop-up calculator. On the attached image you see the calculator action in the toolbar and how it is configured. The entry of the external program defines which program will be started when you press the button. BTW, I use this action rather often to start calculations that are not amout oriented.
