\section{Importing Data from HP48 Graphing Calculators}

You can import data to {\sl Scientific Notebook }from the Hewlett-Packard
48G and 48Gx graphing calculators. 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 a connection program, such as CalcWare PC-link
software, with your HP calculator and your computer. Refer to the calculator
manual for more information. Generally speaking, you need the following
software and hardware:

\paragraph{Communications Software}

This needs to be some program capable of interfacing with the calculator.
The calculators can send data through either the XModem or Kermit format,
formats common to most terminal programs.

\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 serial port
\end{itemize}

\paragraph{Cables and Adapters}

\begin{itemize}
\item  one cable that connects to an HP 48G or 48GX and a computer's
communication port.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{$\ $General Instructions for Importing Data}

These instructions are for importing data with any general terminal program.

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Connect the calculator to the computer with the cable.

\item  Start the terminal program to be used.

\item  With the calculator

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Choose \lbrack Grn Arrow\rbrack \lbrack I/O\rbrack .

\item  Select {\tt Transfer} from the list.

\item  When the display shows the current options, select those needed by
your terminal program.

\item  For {\tt Name}, enter the variable that you wish to transfer.

\item  Press Send to initiate transfer.
\end{enumerate}

\item  In the program, receive the file from the calculator. \ Consult the
specific documentation for this software for more details.

\item  The file should then be renamed to have an {\tt .TXT} extension.

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

\subsection{\ How to Import Data with PC\ CalcLink}

After you've installed PC\ CalcLink software on your computer, follow these
steps to import data

\begin{enumerate}
\item  Activate the Filer.

\item  Turn on the calculator.

\item  Click the {\tt Connect} button.

\item  In the {\tt Calculator Files:} list box, click the variables (files)\
that you want to transfer.

\item  Click {\tt Get}

\item  Save the transferred information when the programs prompts you. Use a 
{\tt .TXT} extension for the file.

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

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

If you have any communication problems in transferring the file onto your
computer, 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 terminal program. \ Reminder: this will NOT be the
serial port to which the modem is connected, so will very likely need to be
changed for any general-purpose communication program.
\end{itemize}

If you have any questions about service or about the general use of PC\
CalcLink, consult the technical support of the calculator and connection
software.
