C. Linking Graphing Calculators to Transmit Information and Programs
Instructor Directions: Refer the workshop participants to the “Light” program
listed in the appendix in the workshop manual. I would suggest typing this into
your calculator the night before and then transmitting it to each of the participants.
This will save time of each person having to type it in.
Goal: For each team of two workshop participants to acquire the program “Light”
in order to experience using it to setup and trigger the EA100.
Turn off Each 9850G graphing calculator. Firmly snap in the data link cable into each
calculator until it snaps in place. Turn back on each calculator and from the main menu
select the Link Icon. The occupant of the “The Light Probe” program is the transmitter
while the recipient is the receiver.
Note: The Receiver must perform their steps before the Transmitter Executes
“Transmit”
Receiver:
1. From the Main Menu select Link
2. From the link menu select F2 for receive. (You should see the calculator telling you it
is receiving. This indicates it is ready.)
Transmitter:
1. From the Main Menu select Link
2. From the Link menu select F1 for transmit.
3. F1 for select (This allows you to chose what you will transmit.)
4. F1 used in coordination with the arrow keys, selects data to be transmitted. (Look for a
small arrow on the left that symbolizes it has been selected. You can select more than one
item at a time. Select the “Light” program to be transmitted.
5. When ready to transmit, hit F6 and then hit F1 for yes (This will start the
transmission.)
When the transmission is complete each calculator should display the message, Done
or Complete.
You can now confirm that the “Light” program was transmitted by looking in the
Program area of the 9850G to see if it is listed. It should be there and ready to be
run. Take a look at the written keystrokes and description in the appendix in order
to gain an understanding of the function of the program.
