TI-86 Linking Options
Using the unit-to-unit cable included with the TI -86, you can transmit data between the
TI -86 and several other devices.
Linking Two TI-86s
You can link two TI -86 units and select the data types to be transmitted, including
programs. You can back up the entire memory of a TI -86 onto another TI-86.
Linking a TI-86 and a TI-85
You can select the data types, including programs, to transfer from a TI -85 to a TI-86. You
can send most variables and programs from a TI -86 to a TI-85 using SND85 (page 239),
except lists, vectors, or matrices that exceed TI -85 capacity.
When you run a TI -85 program on a TI-86, the TI-85 PrtScrn program instruction is not
valid. Also, the EOS implied multiplication on the TI -86 differs from the TI-85 (Appendix).
For example, the TI -85 interprets sin 2x as sin (2x) ; the TI -86 interprets sin 2x as (sin 2)x .
Linking a TI-86 and a CBL 2/CBL or CBR System
The Calculator-Based Laboratory é (CBL 2é/CBLé) and Calculator-Based Rangeré
(CBR é) systems are optional TI accessories that collect data from physical occurrences,
such as science experiments. The CBL 2/CBL and CBR store data to lists, which you can
transmit to a TI
-86 and analyze. You can transmit list names to a CBL 2/CBL or CBR from a
TI -86.
