Tips for recording a script
If you record a script assuming the calculator will always have its current
settings, you may have problems later if you play the script with different
calculator settings. Therefore, it’s a good practice to add the necessary
settings directly into the script. The following tips can help you create
scripts that play correctly in a variety of situations.
At the beginning of a script:
•
Insert a Go To Home command to ensure the script starts on the
calculator’s home screen. This lets your script begin at a known
starting point, regardless of what screen is shown on the calculator
when you play the script.
•
Press
y
L

to reset the memory to its defaults.
When graphing:
•
Press
u
before entering an equation into the Y= editor.
•
Insert a Pause command after graphing a frunction.
