Appendix B: DataMate and Calculator Specifics
There are functional and operational differences between the various types of TI graphing
calculators. This Appendix describes those differences.
CALCULATOR DIFFERENCES
Because of the differences in memory between the calculators, there are some differences
in functionality between the different versions of DataMate. See also the troubleshooting
guide in Appendix E for information on the maximum number of data points each
calculator can collect.
TI-73, TI-73 Explorer, TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, TI-84 Plus, TI-84 Plus
Silver Edition, TI-86, TI-89, TI-89 Titanium, TI-92, TI-92 Plus, and Voyage 200
versions support all of the DataMate functions.
TI-82
•
The TI-82 version of DataMate supports only the following Auto-ID sensors:
temperature, light, voltage, and CBR™ or the Vernier Motion Detector with pivoting
head. Other sensors are supported, but due to memory constraints they are labeled as
“Custom.” When selecting a custom sensor, you are responsible for entering the
sensor’s slope and intercept. These values are listed with the booklet that’s included
with the sensor, or can be found on the Vernier web site:
http://www.vernier.com/tech/manuals.html.
•
It supports all functions except SAVE/LOAD, SELECT REGION, and ADD
MODEL.
•
Supports up to 3 analog sensors.
•
Supports the Motion Detector and only one analog sensor simultaneously.
•
Adding auto-ID sensors increases the length of experiment and reduces the number of
samples to save memory and keep experiment length the same.
TI-83
•
The TI-83 version of DataMate supports all of the functions except SAVE/LOAD.
•
DataMate will reduce the number of samples as needed to meet memory
requirements.
TI-92
•
DataMate will reduce the number of samples as needed to meet memory
requirements.
