Overview
CBL Made Easy!
This CBL guidebook is a step-by-step guide to collecting data using the original Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL) and a Texas Instruments graphing calculator. It was written in a sequence to be followed from the purchase of necessary materials, through the set up and data collection procedures, and on to areas of further interest.
If you are usi ng LabPro or CBL 2, stop here!
Note:

The Macintosh version will be saved on your desktop or your hard drive depending on the
settings of the internet browser.
Leave the web site and double-click the setup icon. The instructions will then lead you through the installation process. A folder named “TI Education” containing the program file will be created on your hard drive. A shortcut icon will be placed on your desktop.
B: Load the CBL Programs onto Your Computer
These are the programs/applications you will run on your calculator when performing experiments. They should be saved on your computer before you transfer them to your calculator.
Important: Depending on the type of TI graphing calculator, the calculator can run program or applications. Programs reside in the calculator’s RAM, while applications reside in the calculator’s FLASH memory.

Step 1 Load Programs onto Your Computer
A file ending with a “g” (chembio.83g, for example) is a group program. All calculator types
(except for the TI-83 Plus and the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition) run group programs when using the CBL.
A file ending with “8xk” (chembio.8xk, for example) is an application for use with the TI-83 Plus
and TI-83 Plus Silver Edition.
Sources for CBL Programs:
Vernier web site (www.vernier.com). Click on the Downloads tab, then select Calculator Programs
(original CBL), and choose the type of program, calculator, and computer (Macintosh or Windows) you are using.
Disks that come in the back of the Vernier lab manuals. (e.g., Chemistry with CBL). The disks
contain group files, one for each type of TI graphing calculator (“chem-bio.83g”, chem-bio.92g,” etc.). Each group file contains a number of programs that comprise the data collection program for the TI calculator. Copy or drag the file for your particular TI calculator onto the TI Education folder on your hard drive. The disks also contain Word files. They provide a way for you to edit student experiments to match your lab situation, equipment, or style of teaching. NOTE: On the Window platform, you will first need to double-click on the “Double-click to Install” icon before you save the programs.
Disks that come with other lab books, such as Real World Math with the CBL System and Exploring
Physics and Math with the CBL System.
You will now use the TI-GRAPH LINK cable and TI-CONNECT or TI-GRAPH LINK software to transfer CBL programs to the calculator. Move on to Step 2.

Step 2: Load Programs onto Your Calculator
Using TI Connect
TI Connect for Windows and Macintosh is very easy to use. It works with all TI handhelds, unless you are using a TI-82, TI-85, or TI-86 and a Windows computer. In that case, The TI-83 Plus and TI-83 Plus Silver Edition needs to be running operating system version 1.15 newer to work with TI Connect.
Windows Computers
1. Connect the TI-GRAPH LINK cable to the serial or USB
port of your computer and to the port at the bottom edge of the TI-73 Explorer, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, TI-89, or top edge of the TI-92, TI-92 Plus, or Voyage 200 handheld.
2. Start the TI Connect software on your computer. Click on
Device Explorer.
3. The program will identify the attached device and call up a window
representing the contents. (See the troubleshooting appendix if the program fails to detect your handheld.)
4. Loading programs and applications onto a TI handheld is very easy.
All you have to do is drag the program from wherever you have it on your computer to the Device Explorer window, and it will copy onto your handheld.

TI-GRAPH LINK Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
My TI-GRAPH LINK for Macintosh program does not see the group file in the CBL program folder.
Within the older software, you have “All Objects” selected from the pull-down menu at the bottom of the screen that comes up when you try to link. You need to have “Group” selected from that list of choices. After you select Group, you should be able to see all of the group files that we supply.
I cannot get programs to transfer to my TI-83 calculator, even though the cable is good and I can transfer the LCD screen.
Are you trying to use calculator to send the programs? Remember that a TI-83 is very different from a TI-82 in this respect. When you send programs from the computer to a TI-83, you do not touch the calculator except to turn it on and set it to the home screen.
Can I load both PHYSICS and CHEMBIO on my calculator?
The TI-73, 82, 83, 85 have only enough memory to load one of the Vernier groups. The TI-83 Plus, 86, 89, 92, and 92 Plus have enough memory to hold both.
I get a Link Transmission Error message. Make certain the cable is firmly pushed into
the ports.
You could be running Graphical Analysis at
the same time, so the modem port is already being occupied. Quit Graphical Analysis and try again.
If you are using a Macintosh PowerBook,
you need to turn off AppleTalk from the Chooser. Also, if you have an internal modem, turn it off in the Control panel.
Make sure you clear all the memory on your
calculator before you load the group program.
If you are using a TI-82 or TI-85, make sure
that you turn on the TI-82/85 calculator and press select 1:receive from the (“Waiting...” appears on the TI-82/85 screen).

Step 3: Putting it All Together
Now you are ready to get your hardware set up. This is the easy part. At the base of the CBL are two ports. The left port is the communications port. This connects the CBL to the calculator via the black calculator link cable. Be sure to push the cables firmly in when connecting the two components.
There are four jacks located along the top and the left of the CBL unit in which you can plug Vernier or TI probes. T hey are labeled CH1, CH 2, CH3, and Sonic. You should use the lowest channel available. The Sonic port is used only for the Motion Detector. If the or der co de for Ver nier sensors ends with the extensio n “-DIN,” (a 5-pin round plug) then it requires a DIN-BTA a dapter. For more information about adapters, refer to Appendix B.

Step 5: Sending Graphs and Data to Your
Computer (optional)
Now that you have collected data, you can, of course, analyze data with your calculator. However, if you wish to analyze the data on a computer or print the data, you will need to use the to transfer the data back to your computer.
Graphical Analysis and Logger Pro 3 programs are not required for data collection with the CBL. However, most people have found them great tools for directly moving CBL data from the graphing calculator to the computer for graphing and printing. It is also very good for performing mathematical modeling and finding the relationships between variables.
Importing procedures for TI-73, TI-73 Explorer, TI-83, TI-83 Plus, TI-83 Plus Silver Edition, TI­86, TI-89, TI-92, TI-92 Plus, Voyage 200:
