\subsection{Data from Your Calculator\label{Data from Your Calculator}%
\hrulefill}

You can import a list, vector, or matrix from your TI, Casio, or HP 
\hyperref{graphing calculator}{}{}{Calculators.tex}, and then perform
computations with the data as you can with any other \textit{Scientific
Notebook} data. This section outlines the general procedure for importing
data from your calculator. Refer to the online Help system for instructions
for importing data from specific types of calculators. The example that
follows uses a data file that was imported from a TI calculator and is
provided with \textit{Scientific Notebook.} It illustrates several ways to
use imported data.\medskip 

\noindent $\blacktriangleright $\quad \textbf{To import data from your
calculator\label{To import data from your calculator}}

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Use the software provided by the manufacturer (e.g., TI-GRAPH LINK$%
{}^{\text{TM}}$ for TI-82, TI-83, TI-85, and TI-92 calculators, and Casio
Program Link${}^{\text{TM}}$ for Casio models) to import the calculator data
and save the data as a text file.

\item  Start \textit{Scientific Notebook} and open the document into which
you want to import the data.

\item  From the File menu, choose Import Contents.

\item  Specify the text file name and location.

\item  In the Files of Type box, specify the type of calculator.

\item  Choose OK. \textit{Scientific Notebook} imports the data, which you
can now use as a basis for computations.\medskip 
\end{enumerate}

mean of imported data\label{mean}}

\begin{enumerate}
\item  From the File menu, choose Import Contents.

\item  Select the Examples folder in your \textit{Scientific Notebook}
directory.

\item  In the Files of Type box, select TI\ Files (*.txt).

\item  Select the file Ti82a.txt and choose OK. \textit{Scientific Notebook}
imports the data as a matrix, which you see on your screen:\medskip 
\[
\fbox{\rule[-0.22in]{0in}{0.5in}$\quad 
\begin{array}{lll}
7 & 8 & 9 \\ 
2 & 3 & 5 \\ 
2 & 5 & 2
\end{array}
\quad $}\medskip 
\]

\item  With the insertion point in or at the right of the data, choose
Matrices from the Maple menu and then choose Reshape.

\item  Specify 9 columns and choose OK. Maple reshapes the matrix: $
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
7 & 8 & 9 & 2 & 3 & 5 & 2 & 5 & 2
\end{array}
$

\item  Choose Statistics from the Maple menu, and then choose Mean. Maple
calculates the mean of the imported data and returns this result:\medskip
\end{enumerate}

\begin{center}
\fbox{$\quad 
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
\rule[-0.1in]{0in}{0.3in}7 & 8 & 9 & 2 & 3 & 5 & 2 & 5 & 2
\end{array}
$, Mean(s): $4.\,\allowbreak 777\,8\quad $}\medskip
\end{center}

The information you can import isn't limited to data from a calculator. You
can import information from other documents, from the \textit{Scientific
Notebook} Resource Center, and from your favorite web site, by taking
advantage of the \hyperref{hypertext capabilities of \textit{Scientific
Notebook}}{}{}{GShypertext1.tex}\textit{.}
