GetCalc(variable

[,

portflag

]

)

By default, the TI-84 Plus uses the USB port if it is connected. If the USB cable is not connected, it uses the I/O port. If you want to specify either the USB or I/O port, use the following portflag numbers:

portflag

=0 use USB port if connected;

portflag

=1 use USB port;

portflag

=2 use I/O port

Note: GetCalc(

does not work between TI

.82 and TI-83 Plus or a TI.82 and TI-84 Plus calculators.

Get(, Send(

Get(

Y= variable, graph database, or picture.

Get(variable)

Note:

If you transfer a program that references the

Get(

command to the TI-84 Plus from a TI

.82, the TI-84 Plus will interpret it as the

Get(

described above. Use

GetCalc(

to get data from another

TI-84 Plus.

Send(

sends the contents of

variable

to the CBL 2™ or CBR™. You cannot use it to send to another

TI-84 Plus.
