What a Typical Program Might Include

About a Typical Program Format
Programs are created on a calculator to set up the CBL operations for
the experiments that you want to perform.
A typical CBL program format might include the following basic tasks:
1. Clearing all channels of their previous settings with {1,0} (page 28).
2. Setting up one or more input channels to collect data with {1,1}, {1,2},
{1,3}, etc. (page 28).
3. Defining the sample time, how many samples to collect, and when to
start collecting data with a
setup command sent to the CBL before data collection begins.
4. Retrieving the collected data from the CBL into a calculator (Refer to
the CBLé Compatible Calculators Guidebook.)
Below is a sample program for a TI-82 graphing calculator.
