Requirements

  • A cable to connect your calculator to your computer.
  • The software to make your computer talk to your calculator.

Install

The TI GraphLink cable and TI-Connect software
  1. You need a cable to connect your TI-83+ to your computer. Purchase at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, or anywhere, a TI Connectivity Kit with a silver USB to calculator mini-jack cable called the "TI-GraphLink USB (silver)." The more expensive cousins of the TI-83 Plus, the TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition come with the USB cord included. That means there is nothing more to buy. (More information on choosing cables)
  2. Install TI-Connect (the software which came with the cable/calculator)
  3. Download the PRGM (.8xp) or APP (.8xk) file to your computer. Save it somewhere.
  4. After downloading, find it on your computer. Right click and hit "Send to TI-Device"
  5. TI-Connect will open. Choose your calculator and wait for it to transfer.

Run

Go to [PRGM] scroll to the program's name. Push enter to select it and then enter again to run it. You will see a splash screen. Hit [Enter] to continue.

Quitting

To exit the program, hit [On] key and push [Enter] or [1] to quit.

Note

Note the program might set your calculator in degrees mode, change the graph settings, turn off floating (rounding), and/or overwrite variables. After running the program, make sure your calculator is back the way you want it before doing other things
