\section{Importing Data from TI Graphing Calculators}

You can import data to {\sl Scientific Notebook }from these models of TI\
graphing calculators: TI-82, TI-83, TI-85 and TI-92. Once you've imported
the lists, vectors, matrices or numbers from your calculator, you can use
them in computations just like any other {\sl Scientific Notebook }%
data.\medskip

\subsection{$\ $What You Need\label{What you need}}

You need to know how to use TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ software with your
TI calculator and your computer. Refer to the TI-GRAPH LINK Guidebook that
came with your TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ software for more information. In
addition, you need the following software and hardware:

\paragraph{TI\ Communications Software}

TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ for Windows software diskettes, including:

\begin{itemize}
\item  application files

\item  a custom TI-82/85 TrueType font file

\item  information files

\item  sample data files
\end{itemize}

Documentation for the communications software that supports the calculator
model you're using:

\begin{itemize}
\item  TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ for Windows$^{\text{TM}}$ for TI-82 and
TI-85

or

\item  TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ for Windows$^{\text{TM}}$ for TI-83 and
TI-92.
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Computer Hardware and Software}

\begin{itemize}
\item  an IBM or IBM-compatible computer

\item  Windows v.3.1 or later (required for TI Communications Software;
Scientific Notebook requires Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0)

\item  EGA, VGA, or SVGA video adapter

\item  1.2 MB hard disk space and 2 MB of RAM (4 MB recommended)

\item  3-1/2`` disk drive

\item  1 serial port
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Cables and Adapters}

\begin{itemize}
\item  one 9-pin-to-25-pin adapter

\item  one TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ cable that connects to a TI-82,
TI-83, TI-85, or TI-92. You cannot substitute any other adapter
cable.\medskip
\end{itemize}

\subsection{$\ $How to Import Data}

After you've installed the TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ software on your
computer, you can import data in three steps:

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Use the communications software to move the data from your calculator
to your computer.

\item  Use the communications software to export the data to an ASCII text
file.

\item  Use {\sl Scientific Notebook }to read the ASCII text file into a
document.
\end{enumerate}

The procedures differ for each calculator model:

\begin{itemize}
\item  \hyperref{TI-82}{}{}{TI82_calculators.tex}

\item  \hyperref{TI-83}{}{}{TI83_calculators.tex}

\item  \hyperref{TI-85}{}{}{TI85_calculators.tex}

\item  \hyperref{TI-92}{}{}{TI92_calculators.tex}\medskip
\end{itemize}

\subsection{$\ $Troubleshooting\label{Troubleshooting}}

If you have any communication problems using TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ and
you receive a Transmission Error message, check the following:

\begin{itemize}
\item  Make sure the cable is connected to the correct serial port on your
computer.

\item  Make sure both connectors on the cable are firmly connected.

\item  Make sure you have selected the correct serial port (COM1, COM2,
COM3, or COM4) in the TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$ program by selecting
System Setup from the Utilities menu.
\end{itemize}

If you have any questions about service or about the general use of TI-GRAPH
LINK$^{\text{TM}}$, call (800) 842-2737. If you have technical questions
about installing or using TI-GRAPH LINK$^{\text{TM}}$, call (817)
774-6827.\medskip
