Getting Started

• You can use ClassPad Manager to develop programs and eActivities using the same commands as those available on the ClassPad. You can store your programs and eActivities on your computer, and use the ClassPad Manager’s data communication functions to transfer them to your ClassPad when you need them.

• Once you establish a link with your computer over the USB cable that comes bundled with the ClassPad, you can use easy-to-understand Microsoft Explorer-like operations to transfer data (programs, variable data, and eActivities) between them.

• You can transfer data by putting the ClassPad into its communication standby state and then performing all operations on your connected computer.

• ClassPad Manager provides the following capabilities.

ClassPad emulation, which lets you perform ClassPad operations on your computer

ClassPad emulation screen capture (to the clipboard) and screen printing

Copy and paste of data (text, values, expressions, images, etc.) between ClassPad

Manager and other Windows applications

Transfer of data between your ClassPad and computer

You can connect multiple ClassPads to a single PC. This makes it possible to easily copy

ﬁ les from the PC to multiple ClassPads, and use your PC to copy ﬁ les from one ClassPad to another.

ClassPad data storage

Installation of add-in applications to ClassPads

Update of the ClassPad Manager Version 2.0 or 2.2 (Single License or School License) to

Version 3.0

Important!

• Be sure to install the ClassPad Manager before you connect the ClassPad to your computer. Connecting before you install the ClassPad Manager can result in improper operation.

Note

• Use only the USB cable that comes with ClassPad whenever connecting your ClassPad to a computer to exchange data between them. Data exchange with ClassPad Manager will not be possible if you use a commercially available USB cable.

• See your ClassPad User’s Guide for details about operating the on-screen ClassPad unit emulator.

• Calculation results produced by ClassPad Manager may be different from those produced by the ClassPad. This is due to the way that computers perform ﬂ oating-point calculations. Also, ClassPad Manager cannot handle values that exceed ±1E+309 in decimal mode or ±1E+611 in standard mode.

ClassPad Window Overview

The ClassPad Window puts a virtual ClassPad on your computer screen, which you can use to perform almost all of the operations that are available on your ClassPad. This section explains the differences between ClassPad Window operations and the ClassPad unit, and between the two ClassPad Window modes.

Differences between the ClassPad Window and the Functions of ClassPad Applications

The following are the differences between the ClassPad Window and the functions of the ClassPad applications.

• The ClassPad Window includes a Picture application, which is not available on your ClassPad. For more information, see “Using the Picture Application” on page E-44.

• Certain ClassPad settings and functions that are not required when running on a computer (such as touch panel calibration) are disabled on the ClassPad Window. Attempting to access a disabled setting or function will cause the message “Unavailable” to appear on the display.

20060301

E-18

ClassPad Window Display Mode (Fixed-size Mode and Resizable Mode)

The ClassPad Window has two display modes: a Fixed-size Mode and a Resizable Mode.

• The Fixed-Size Mode displays a virtual ClassPad that looks almost the same as your ClassPad unit.

• The Resizable Mode provides functionality that is virtually identical to that as the ClassPad, but in a typical Windows operating environment. The Resizable Mode also provides a number of special extended functions that are not available on the Fixed-size Mode. For details, see “Using ClassPad Window in the Resizable Mode” on page E-31.
