GETTING THE RIGHT SOFTWARE

While TI's linking software will support a TI-Graph Link under Windows or Macintosh with any TI graphing calculator, homemade link cables require homemade software for transferring data with your calculator. (The serial link is reported to work with TI's software in "black cable" mode, however.) Some of this third-party software supports multiple link cables and calculators, while others are designed specifically for one cable or calculator. Before choosing a homemade link, you should make sure appropriate linking software exists with support for your operating system and calculator.

No matter what cable you choose, we highly recommend you download TI's official Graph Link software for your calculator. Even if you can't use it to transfer data (for example, if you get a parallel cable), it's still useful for ungrouping calculator data files (more on that later) and viewing or editing BASIC programs on your computer.
