Starting the DataMate Program and Preparing to Collect Data

Use the following steps to start the DataMate program on your calculator:

TI-82 and TI-83 Calculators:

Press

PRGM

then press the calculator key for the number that precedes

DATAMATE (usually

). Press

ENTER

. An introductory screen will

appear, followed by the main screen.

TI-73 and TI-73 Explorer Calculators:

Press

APPS

then press the calculator key for the number that precedes

DATAMATE. Press

ENTER

. An introductory screen will appear, followed by

the main screen.

TI-86 Calculators:

Press

PRGM

, press

to select < NAMES >, and press the menu key that represents DataMate.

(< DATAM > is usually

). Press

ENTER

, and wait for the main screen to load.

TI-89, TI-89 Titanium, TI-92, TI-92 Plus, and Voyage 200 Calculators:

Press

2nd

[VAR-LINK]. Use the cursor pad to scroll down to “datamate”, then press

ENTER

. Press

)

to complete the open parenthesis of “datamate(” on the entry line. Press

ENTER

. An

introductory screen will appear, followed by the main screen. If you are using the DataMate APP,

press

APPS

then scroll to the DataMate application.

After the program begins, the calculator will try to communicate with the

interface and check for auto-ID sensors. If this communication is successful, the

main screen (shown below) will appear. If the calculator cannot establish a link

with LabPro, this menu appears. If you choose Continue With Interface, the

program will continue trying to communicate with the interface. If the calculator

cannot establish a link with LabPro, a Link Error message will appear. Check

that LabPro has power and that the link cable is properly connected. This

message will continue to appear until the link problem is fixed.

This is the main screen that appears after the calculator and interface are

communicating. In this example a Stainless Steel Temperature Probe was

connected and DataMate automatically identified the Temperature Probe,

displayed the channel it was connected to and the current reading. DataMate also

sets up a default time graph experiment for auto-ID sensors. In this example, an

experiment was set up to collect data for 180 seconds.

You are now ready to collect data. Page 12 has a tutorial that uses our Stainless Steel Temperature Probe

to investigate the response time of the Temperature Probe.
