8 Getting started
Saving calculator data to the computer
By saving data (lists, matrices, programs, etc.) from the TI-SmartView™
calculator to files on the computer, you can make backup copies of that
data. If you delete the data from TI-SmartView™, you can load the
calculator files from the computer at any time.
1. Click
File > Save Calculator File.
The Device Contents dialog box lists the data items on the
TI-SmartView™ calculator, which may take several seconds.
2. Click an item to highlight it.
• To select multiple items, hold down on the computer
keyboard as you click each additional item.
• To select a range of items, click the first item in the range. Then
hold down Shift and click the last item in the range.
3. Click Save Selected Item(s).
4. In the dialog box, navigate to the folder in which you want to store
the files. If necessary, click New Folder.
5. Click
Choose.
Each selected item is saved as a separate file on the computer. File
names are assigned automatically. The file name’s extension
identifies the data type.
If the folder already contains a file with the assigned name,
TI-SmartView™ automatically adds a suffix such as -1, -2, etc., to the
new file name.
The Device Contents dialog box stays open so you can select and save
additional data items.
6. When you’re finished, click
Close.
Note: In the Device Contents dialog box, you can sort the list by clicking
a heading. For example, click Name to sort by name and switch between
ascending (a-z) and descending (z-a) order.
