Transmitting Variables, Flash Applications, and
Folders
Transmitting variables is a convenient way to share any variable listed on
the
VAR-LINK screen — functions, programs, etc. You can also transmit
Flash applications (Apps) and folders.
Setting Up the Units
Flash applications will transfer only between certain units. For example,
you can transfer an App from a TI-89 Titanium to another TI-89 Titanium,
or from a TI-89 Titanium to a TI-89.
During transmission, a progress bar is displayed in the status line of the
receiving unit. When transmission is complete, the
VAR-LINK screen is
updated on the receiving unit.
Note: Before transferring a purchased App, the receiving unit must have
the appropriate certificate, if required. A certificate is a file that is
generated by TI. Free and concept Apps do not require a certificate.
Rules for Transmitting Variables, Flash Applications, or
Folders
Unlocked and unarchived variables that have the same name on both the
sending and receiving units will be overwritten from the sending unit.
