Downloading TI 83 Programs from a Computer

  1. Get a TI-GRAPH LINK USB cable for Windows/Mac.  You may use one of these in the Math Learning Center, or purchase one from any Radio Shack or Office Depot Store.  The price of $20 includes a disk with TI Connect Software.

  2. Download each of the add-in programs from this website to your desktop.  Go to the program description page and click on the program name. (note: Downloading will not work with the Safari Browser. Use Explorer or Firefox.)

  3. If you didn't purchase the cable, you will need a copy of the TI Connect software.  You can use the program on the MLC computers, or download it to your desk top from the ti.com web site:  TI Connect Software.  Install the TI Connect Software on your computer by double-clicking the downloaded file.

  4. Connect the USB cable to your calculator and the computer.

  5. Start TI Connect.

  6. Click on the TI Device Explorer Window in the Program.

  7. Close TI Connect, but leave the TI Device Explorer Window open on the desktop.

  8. Drag each of the add-in programs from the desktop into the TI Device Explorer Window.  The programs will then be transferred to your calculator by the program.
