To transfer DataMate to a TI-83 Plus and TI-83 Plus Silver Edition calculator, follow
these steps:
1.
Connect the calculator to CBL 2™ with the unit-to-unit link cable.
2.
Put the calculator in Receive mode. (For the TI-83 Plus and TI-83 Plus Silver
Edition, press y 8 ~ Í.)
3.
Push TRANSFER on CBL 2. The program/app is transferred and appears in the
calculator's program list or application list.
4.
When the transfer is complete, press y 5 on the calculator.
See steps 4 and 5 on page vi for the TI-73, TI-82, TI-83 Plus, and TI-83 Plus Silver
Edition instructions.
Note: DataMate on the TI-89, TI-92 Plus, and Voyage™ 200 PLT is transferred in three
segments/files, but only one will display in the App menu. All three segments are necessary
for DataMate to run on these units.
Getting Started with DataMate
This section of the User Guide explains the procedures for using DataMate. The
instructions were written with the DataMate app for TI-83 Plus and show TI-83 Plus
screen examples. (See page 2 for information about the differences between
DataMate programs/apps for the various TI graphing calculators.)
The basic steps for conducting an experiment with CBL 2, sensor(s), and a TI
graphing calculator are:
1.
Connect the sensor(s) to the CBL 2 system, connect CBL 2 and your calculator,
and run the DataMate program or App. (See the next section, Start the
DataMate App.)
2.
Select the data collection mode, if necessary. (CBL 2 contains default experiment
settings for most sensors.) (See page 9.)
3.
Collect the data. (See page 12.)
4.
Graph the data. (See page 13.)
In addition, DataMate allows you to calibrate some sensors, make changes to
graphs, and analyze collected data with pre-programmed options. Procedures for
all of these tasks are given on the following pages.
It is not necessary to have a calculator connected to the CBL 2 to collect data. The
Quick Set-Up feature on the CBL 2 allows you to collect data without having a
calculator connected to the CBL 2. You can then transfer the data to your calculator
for graphing and analysis. The Quick Set-Up procedure is explained on page 16.
