Run

For TI-83 and TI-84 family calculator users:

Run the EasyData App on the graphing calculator connected to the

CBR 2™

motion detector.

Proceed to step 1, if using a TI-83 Plus-family calculator. For the TI-84 Plus
connected with a unit-to-

CBR 2™

cable, perform steps 1 and 4.

1. Turn on the calculator and have it on the home screen.
2. Press

to display the list of Apps on your graphing calculator.

3. Choose EasyData and press

The opening screen is displayed for about 2–3 seconds, and then the
main screen is displayed.

4. Select

Start

(press

) in the main screen to start collecting data.

For TI-89, TI-92 Plus, TI-89 Titanium and Voyage™ 200 users:

Run RANGER on the graphing calculator connected to the

CBR 2™

motion

detector.

Turn on the calculator and have it on the home screen.

2. Press

to display the list of AppVars on your graphing

calculator.

3. Scroll until you find RANGER. Highlight it and press

. Type the

closing parenthesis ) and press

to start the program.

Important information

This guide applies to all TI graphing calculators that can be used with the

CBR 2™

motion detector (see page 2); therefore, you may find that some

of the menu names do not match exactly those on your calculator.

When setting up activities, ensure that the

CBR 2™

motion detector is

securely anchored and that the cord cannot be tripped over.

Always disconnect the

CBR 2™

motion detector from the calculator

before storing it.

For TI-83 and TI-84 family calculator users:

Always exit the EasyData App using the Quit option. The EasyData App
performs a proper shutdown of the

CBR 2™

motion detector when you

choose

Quit

. This ensures that the

CBR 2™

motion detector is properly

initialized for the next time you use it.

EasyData is launched automatically when the unit-to-

CBR 2™

cable is

connected from a TI-84 Plus or TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing
calculator to a

CBR 2™

motion detector.

For TI-89, TI-92 Plus, TI-89 Titanium and Voyage™ 200 users:

EasyData will not run on your calculator. RANGER is the only program
available to simplify the data collection process from the CBR 2.

For quick results, try

ready activities in this
