•
You attempt a data transfer from a TI N73 to a TIN83 with
data other than numerical lists, L 1
- L 6
, or user-named
numerical lists, or without using menu item 0:Vars to TI83 .
Although a transmission error does not occur, these two
conditions may prevent successful transmission:
•
You try to use Get( with a calculator instead of a
CBL 2/CBL.
•
You try to use GetCalc( with a TI N82 or TIN83 instead of a
TI N73.
Backing Up Memory
The TI N73 includes two types of memory: RAM (Random
Access Memory) and F-ROM (Flash Read Only Memory). RAM
includes all lists, programs, variables, and equations. F-ROM
includes software applications, such as the
CBL à CBR
application (9 2 ).
To copy (and overwrite) the exact contents of RAM in the
sending TI
N73 to the memory of the receiving TIN73, follow
these steps:
1. Set up the receiving unit in receive mode (see page 257).
2. Then, on the sending unit, select D:Back Up from the Link
SEND menu.
3. Select 1:Transmit from the MEMORYBACKUP menu on the
sending unit to begin transmission. Selecting 2:Quit
returns you to the Link SEND menu.
4. As a safety check to prevent accidental loss of memory,
the message WARNING–BACKUP is displayed when the
receiving unit receives notice of a backup.
Select 1:Continue to begin the backup transmission.
Select 2:Quit to prevent the backup and return to the Link
SEND menu.
When the backup is complete, both the sending calculator and
receiving calculator display a
MEMORY BACKUP confirmation
screen. If a transmission error occurs during a backup, the
receiving unit’s memory is reset.
