TI-84 Plus LINK
This chapter describes how to communicate with compatible TI units. The TI-84 Plus has a USB port to connect and communicate with another TI-84 Plus or TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. A USB unit-to-unit cable is included with the TI-84 Plus.
The TI-84 Plus also has an I/O port using a I/O unit-to-unit cable to communicate with:
• TI-83 Plus Silver Edition
• TI-83 Plus
• TI-83
•
•
•
TI-82
TI-73
CBL 2™ or a CBR™
You can send items from a calculator with an older OS to a calculator with OS 2.53MP. However, you may receive a version error if you send items from a calculator with OS 2.53MP to a calculator with an older OS. Transferring files between calculators works best if both calculators have the latest operating system software installed. For example, if you send a list that contains fractions
(OS 2.53MP) to a calculator with OS 2.43, a version error displays because OS 2.43 does not support fractions.
Connecting Two Graphing Calculators with a USB Unit-to-Unit Cable or an I/O Unit-to-Unit
Cable
USB Unit-to-Unit Cable
The TI-84 Plus USB link port is located at the top right edge of the graphing calculator.
1.
Firmly insert either end of the USB unit-to-unit cable into the USB port.
2.
Insert the other end of the cable into the other graphing calculator’s USB port.
I/O Unit-to-Unit Cable
The TI-84 Plus I/O link port is located at the top left edge of the graphing calculator.
1.

TI-84 Plus to a TI-83 Plus using I/O Unit-to-Unit Cable
The TI-84 Plus I/O link port is located at the top left edge of the graphing calculator. The
TI-83 Plus I/O link port is located at the bottom edge of the graphing calculator.
3.
Firmly insert either end of the I/O unit-to-unit cable into the port.
4.
Insert the other end of the cable into the other graphing calculator’s I/O port.
Linking to the CBL/CBR System
The CBL 2™ system and the CBR™ system are optional accessories that also connect to a TI-84
Plus with the I/O unit-to-unit cable. With a CBL 2™ system or CBR™ system and a TI-84 Plus, you can collect and analyze real-world data.
Linking to a Computer
With TI Connect™ software and the USB computer cable that is included with your TI-84 Plus, you can link the graphing calculator to a personal computer.
