Special Use Calculator Keys

In addition to the keystrokes shown on the DataMate screens, two calculator keys
have special uses in DataMate:

♦ 

Press 

‘

 on the DataMate Main Screen or the Setup screen to restore

DataMate’s default settings. For example, if the sensor setup and/or data
collection mode setting are not what you expect, press 

‘

 to reset them.

♦ 

Press 

¿

 while collecting data to stop data collection.

Start the DataMate App

Note: If you are using the TI-73, TI-82 or TI-83, it is recommended that you remove any non-
DataMate programs from the calculator before loading DataMate. See step 3 on page vi.

1. 

Connect the CBL 2™ to the calculator.

2. 

Press 

Œ

.

3. 

Press 

h

 if needed to move the cursor to 

DATAMATE

 and press 

Í

.

The DataMate title screen displays.

This screen shows both the DataMate program version
number (VER 1.14 in the example) and the operating
system version number (ROM: 1.12 in the example).

Then the Main Screen appears.

Connect a Sensor to the CBL 2 System

1. 

Connect the sensor to the appropriate channel.

Note: When connecting sensors to analog channels, you should use the channels in numerical
order. In other words, connect the first sensor to channel 1 (CH1), the second sensor to
channel 2 (CH2), and the third sensor to channel 3 (CH3). If you are using only one sensor, it
should be connected to channel 1.
