Materials needed to do experiments with the CBL and TI Calculator
CBL Unit
TI Calculator
Vernier software programs
TI Graph Link (cable) to connect the calculator to the computer
TI Graph Link software on computer
To do experiments with the CBL unit, you need the programs on the calculator
from Vernier that go along with the probes. This software is available on
the Web from the Vernier homepage, http://www.vernier.com.
Once on that web page, you can scroll down and look at the contents on the
left side of the screen. There is a heading called Free Stuff. Under that
heading is a link called CBL Made Easy. We recommend downloading this instruction
manual. This manual contains directions for downloading the TI Graph Link
software that is necessary to transfer the Vernier programs from the computer
to the calculator. To do this you also need the TI Graph Link cable, described
at the TI site http://www.ti.com/calc/docs/link.htm.
The CBL Made Easy manual gives directions for downloading TI Graph link software,
the Vernier programs, and then for transferring the programs to the TI calculator
using the graph link software and cable
