The TI-83 has a port to connect and communicate with
another TI-83, a TI-82, the Calculator-Based Laboratoryé
(CBL 2é, CBLé) System, the Calculator-Based Rangeré
(CBRé), or a personal computer. The unit-to-unit link
cable is included with the TI-83. This chapter describes
how to communicate with another calculator.
You can transfer all variables and programs to another
TI-83 or backup the entire memory of a TI-83. The
software that enables this communication is built into the
TI-83. To transmit from one TI-83 to another, follow the
steps on pages 19.6 and 19.7.
You can transfer from a TI-82 to a TI-83 all variables and
programs. Also, you can transfer from a TI-83 to a TI-82 lists
L1 through L6.
The software that enables this communication is built into the
TI-83. To transmit data from a TI-82 to a TI-83, follow the
steps on pages 19.6 and 19.7.
• You cannot perform a memory backup from a TI-82 to a
TI-83.
• The only data type you can transmit from a TI-83 to a
TI-82 is list data stored in L1 through L6. Use the LINK
SEND menu item 5:Lists to TI82 (page 19.8).
1. Insert either end of the cable into the port very firmly.
2. Insert the other end of the cable into the other
calculator’s por t.
CBR and the CBL 2/CBL System are optional accessories
that connect to a TI-83 with the unit-to-unit link cable.
With a CBR or a CBL 2/CBL and a TI-83, you can collect
and analyze real-world data.
TI.GRAPH LINKé is an optional accessory that links a TI-83
to enable communication with a personal computer.
