E-2 20060301
Getting Started
• You can use ClassPad Manager to develop programs and eActivities using the same commands
as those available on the ClassPad. You can store your programs and eActivities on your
computer, and use the ClassPad Manager’s data communication functions to transfer them to
your ClassPad when you need them.
• Once you establish a link with your computer over the USB cable that comes bundled with the
ClassPad, you can use easy-to-understand Microsoft Explorer-like operations to transfer data
(programs, variable data, and eActivities) between them.
• You can transfer data by putting the ClassPad into its communication standby state and then
performing all operations on your connected computer.
• ClassPad Manager provides the following capabilities.
· ClassPad emulation, which lets you perform ClassPad operations on your computer
· ClassPad emulation screen capture (to the clipboard) and screen printing
· Copy and paste of data (text, values, expressions, images, etc.) between ClassPad
Manager and other Windows applications
· Transfer of data between your ClassPad and computer
You can connect multiple ClassPads to a single PC. This makes it possible to easily copy
fi les from the PC to multiple ClassPads, and use your PC to copy fi les from one ClassPad to
another.
· ClassPad data storage
· Installation of add-in applications to ClassPads
· Update of the ClassPad Manager Version 2.0 or 2.2 (Single License or School License) to
Version 3.0
Important!
• Be sure to install the ClassPad Manager before you connect the ClassPad to your computer.
Connecting before you install the ClassPad Manager can result in improper operation.
Note
• Use only the USB cable that comes with ClassPad whenever connecting your ClassPad to a
computer to exchange data between them. Data exchange with ClassPad Manager will not be
possible if you use a commercially available USB cable.
• See your ClassPad User’s Guide for details about operating the on-screen ClassPad unit
emulator.
• Calculation results produced by ClassPad Manager may be different from those produced by
the ClassPad. This is due to the way that computers perform fl oating-point calculations. Also,
ClassPad Manager cannot handle values that exceed ±1E+309 in decimal mode or ±1E+611 in
standard mode.
