Using a connected calculator to control
TI-SmartView
You can connect a TI-84 Plus or TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing
calculator to your computer and use it as a remote keyboard for the
TI-SmartView™ software. If you press a series of keys on the calculator,
those same key presses are repeated on TI-SmartView™. This is useful if
you feel more comfortable pressing real keys on a calculator but want to
see the results on the computer.
Note: The calculator must have a supported operating system. (See
“Checking the calculator’s operating system” on page 36.) Also, the
SmartPad™ application must be installed on the calculator.
Controlling TI-SmartView
1. Connect the calculator (See “Connecting the calculator to the
computer” on page 35.) and start TI-SmartView™.
2. On the connected calculator, press Œ and run the SmartPad™
application. (The application will not run if the calculator is not
connected.)
The SmartPad™ title screen appears. The calculator shows this title
screen as long as the application is running. All key presses and
results appear on the computer only.
Note: If the Keyboard Setup Assistant appears when you run
SmartPad™, simply close the assistant. The application will work
properly.
3. Press keys on the connected calculator to control TI-SmartView™.
4. When you’re finished, either:
• Press y M on the connected calculator.
– or –
• Disconnect the USB cable.
Connecting the calculator to the computer
You must use the Standard-A to Mini-B USB Cable that comes with your
TI-84 Plus calculator. Other TI Connectivity Cables are not supported. If
you need to purchase a cable, go to education.ti.com.
