6. When you’re finished, click
Tools > Disconnect.
You can use TI-SmartView™ when the CBL 2 or CBR 2 is connected, but
it’s a good practice to disconnect it when you’re done. Don’t simply
unplug the cable.
Note:
• If you unplug the USB connector from the computer while the
connection is active, the computer may lock up and need to be
rebooted.
• After a device is connected, you can switch the cable’s plug to
another device without reconnecting. Suppose you first use a CBR 2
and then want to switch to a CBL 2. Unplug the cable from the CBR 2
and plug it into the CBL 2.
• Other than a CBR 2, you can only use probes connected to a CBL 2.
TI-SmartView™ does not use direct-connect probes.
• You can also collect data with a CBR 2 separately, and then transfer
that data to TI-SmartView™ for analysis.
• For complete information about using the CBL 2 or CBR 2, refer to the
guidebook that comes with the device.
Transferring DataMate to TI-SmartView
If you use a CBL 2, you should use the DataMate application that comes
with the device. You only need to transfer it once.
1. Attach the CBL 2 to the computer using the USB Silver Edition cable,
and then establish a connection as previously described.
2. Click y 8 ~ Í to put TI-SmartView™ in Receive mode.
3. Push
TRANSFER on the CBL 2.
The application and any supporting programs are transferred.
4. When the transfer is complete, press y 5 on TI-SmartView™.
DataMate is now available from the TI-SmartView™ APPLICATIONS
menu.
