Step 2: Load Programs onto Your Calculator
Using TI Connect
TI Connect for Windows and Macintosh is very easy to use. It works with all TI handhelds, unless you
are using a TI-82, TI-85, or TI-86 and a Windows computer. In that case,
TI-GRAPH LINK must be used.
The TI-83 Plus and TI-83 Plus Silver Edition needs to be running operating system version 1.15 2 or
newer to work with TI Connect.
Windows Computers
1. Connect the TI-GRAPH LINK cable to the serial or USB
port of your computer and to the port at the bottom edge of
the TI-73 Explorer, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver
Edition, TI-89, or top edge of the TI-92, TI-92 Plus, or
Voyage 200 handheld.
2.
Start the TI Connect software on your computer. Click on
Device Explorer.
3.
The program will identify the attached device and call up a window
representing the contents. (See the troubleshooting appendix if the
program fails to detect your handheld.)
4.
Loading programs and applications onto a TI handheld is very easy.
All you have to do is drag the program from wherever you have it on
your computer to the Device Explorer window, and it will copy onto
your handheld.
5.
The program should now be loaded into your handheld. To confirm
this, press
PRGM
on the TI-73 Explorer, APPS
on the TI-83, TI-83
Plus, and TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, or 2nd [ VAR-LINK ] on the TI-89,
TI-92, TI-92 Plus, or Voyage 200.
2 TI Connect comes with a recent version of the calculator operating system. The OS gets installed on the computer.
Connect will notify you of the OS upgrade and recommend installation. For regular communication between an 83
Plus and Connect, the calculator has to have OS 1.12 or newer. For TI Connect to install an application, the
calculator must have OS 1.13 or newer.
