What's New?
In the past, each activity in CBL System Experiment Workbook used one or more TI Basic programs. These
files were stand-alone files with .83p file extensions. When performing an activity, you would download all
the files you needed into your calculator from the PC using the TI-GRAPH LINK™ program. To use the
programs, you would make a selection from the calculator EXEC menu. In order to use the
programs, all the programs had to be in memory at the same time.
The same TI Basic programs have now been modified to work with the TI-83 Plus. Similar stand-alone TI
Basic files are still available, but these now have .8xp extensions. The functions that the programs perform
are essentially unchanged from the TI-83, but cosmetic changes have been made where necessary.
In addition, for the TI-83 Plus we have provided versions of these programs in the form of an application.
Application files have .app file extensions on the PC. You can download applications to the calculator using
TI-GRAPH LINK or the Flash Installer provided by TI. (The Flash Installer currently is not available for
the Macintosh, so Macintosh users will need to install the standalone programs using TI-GRAPH LINK.)
When you load an application into the calculator, it is put in the Flash ROM, so it does not take up space in
RAM. To use an application, press 9 and select the application name from the APPLICATIONS menu.
How to Install the Application Using the Flash Installer
The Flash Installer is currently available only for the Microsoft® Windows® platforms (Windows® 3.1,
Windows® 95, and Windows NT®).
1.
Close all desktop applications that may have been started after you downloaded the flash software.
(Another running application could interfere while the flash software is updating your TI-83 Plus.)
2.
Make sure the TI-GRAPH LINK cable is firmly connected to the calculator and the computer.
3. Start the flash software installation by double-clicking on the flash software file (cblmath1.exe, for
example) on your computer and following the instructions.
The TI-83 Plus may briefly display a "Defragmenting" message. This simply means the calculator is
preparing for downloading. While the application is downloading, the TI-83 Plus will display the message
"Receiving *CBLExpmt app."

Once you select a program from the menu, that program begins running. The programs run nearly identically to the way they did on the TI-83. When you quit a program by selecting a QUIT option or the program ends normally on its own, you return to the application main menu, where you may select a new program to run or exit the application. -
