Solution 11549: Transfering Data from a Calculator-Based Laboratory™ (CBL™) or CBL 2™ to a Computer.

Is it possible to deliver data collected from the Calculator-Based Laboratory(CBL) or CBL 2 to a computer?

There are several options available for delivering data collected from the CBL or CBL 2 to a computer:

• Run the experiment and send it to the graphing calculator. From the graphing calculator, send the collected data to the computer using the appropriate TI Connectivity cable.
• Use TI-SmartView™ for the TI-84 Plus family software in conjunction with the Vernier EasyData™ App to connect the CBL 2 directly using the TI Connectivity USB Graph Link Cable . For more information please see Using TI-SmartView Software With A Connected CBL 2™ or CBR 2™.
• Use TI InterActive!™ software to connect the CBL 2 directly using the TI Connectivity USB Graph Link Cable .

Please note that the original CBL will not connect directly to the computer, only the CBL 2 will connect to and work with either software.
