The TI-GRAPH LINK program for Windows is a Windows-based integrated communication link and data manager for the PC. You can use TI-GRAPH LINK for Windows to:

  • Transfer data between the TI-92 and a PC.
  • Save TI-92 screen images on the PC for use in word processing, desktop publishing, or page-layout applications.
  • Print TI-92 screen images; save and get TI-92 memory images.
  • Create, edit, save, and print TI-92 programs on the PC.
  • Save, load, edit, and print programs created with the TI-92.
  • Get and print TI-92 lab reports on the PC.
  • Import and export TI-92 programs and data files via the Internet.
  • Convert programs created with the TI-82 or TI-85 graphing calculators into TI-92 programs.
  • Work on several program files at the same time.

This tutorial is designed for



Running the TI-GRAPH LINK program will open the window below.




File and Edit


Like most Window programs, the File and Edit Menu Commands allow standard file editing, formatting and printing options.

Link


Send and Receive

The Send and Receive gives you the option to send and receive TI-92 program or group files between the TI-92 and the computer. When you choose the Send menu, the screen below will open.


This window can be used you to find the directory on the computer where the TI-92 group files (*.92g) and/or program files (*.92p) are located and select these files to be transferred to the calculator. When you double click on a file, it will be placed in the Files Selected window. You may select all or individual files. If an unwanted files is selected there is a remove option. If you would like to place the program in a specified folder in the TI-92, delete the check next to Retain Folder. To transfer the file, click OK.


After you select OK, the program will read the TI-92 calculator and display the folder configuration. You can select a folder and transfer the file(s).


I would not recommended deleting the check next to the Retain Folder when transferring group files because some group files create their own folders.

The Receive menu option works in much the same way as the Send option except the program reads the TI-92 folder directory first.


The To Group option can be used to group programs into one file for easy transferability.

Get Backup and Send Backup

The Get Backup option will back up the entire TI-92 memory to one file with the extension .92B.


The Send Backup option will restore previously saves memory to the TI-92.

Get Screen

The get screen option allows you to past the calculator screen to the computer clipboard.




Com Port

Communication ports are use to transfer files between the calculator and the computer. If you are using a Com Port 1 for a printer, select Com Port 2.

Tools


Group and Ungroup TI-92 files

These two menu options allow you to group and ungroup files. I recommend that you do not ungroup files before you transfer them because they will ungroup automatically. If you write a program that calls a lot of program subroutines, it is recommended that you group the files.

UUEncode and UUEdecode

The UUE options are used to transfer files from/to an 8 bit (ASCII) code to/from the TI-92 format. Most files that are available over the internet are UUE coded.


Import and Export

These options allow you to import or export ASCII data. For example, if you would like to transfer TI-92 table data to a spreadsheet like Excel, you would use this command.

CBL and Window


These two menu options are primarily used for creating TI-92 Basic programs. The CBL (Calculator Based Laboratory) menu option lists commonly used CBL commands for programs.
