The number of data points that you can collect depends upon the calculator, the number and type of sensors, and the available calculator memory. The following are only estimates of the number of data points that can be collected. These figures assume that the calculator RAM memory has been reset prior to sending DataMate or EasyData to the calculator. Before trying to collect large amounts of data, run through the data collection to make sure that you can collect the amount of data you hope to collect.
| Calculator | 1 Sensor | 2 Sensors | Digital Sensor |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI-73 | ~120 | ~90 | ~70 |
| TI-82 | 98* | 98* | 98* |
| TI-83 | ~200 | ~150 | ~120 |
| TI-83/84 Plus | 998* | ~600 | ~400 |
| TI-86 | ~3000 | ~2000 | ~1500 |
| TI-89** | ~600/998* | ~600/998* | ~450/~800 |
| TI-92 | ~300 | ~200 | ~150 |
| TI-92 Plus** | ~600/998* | ~600/998* | ~450/~800 |
| Voyage 200** | ~600/998* | ~600/998* | ~450/~800 |
* This is the limit of the calculator list for this calculator.
** For the TI-89, 92 Plus and Voyage 200, the first value is the number of points that can be collected with 1.xx Calculator Operating System; the second value is the number that can be collected with 2.xx (or higher) Calculator Operating System. We recommend you upgrade to the 2.xx (or higher) OS for these calculators.
TI-89/TI-89 Titanium OS
TI-92 Plus/Voyage 200 OS
Note: If you use DataMate’s curve fit option, the memory available for collecting data will be less than that shown above because more calculator memory is required for curve fitting.
Using a TI-89, TI-92, TI-92 Plus or Voyage 200, if the memory error occurs because too many data points were attempted, you must go into the memory management of the calculator and delete the “cbldata” data var. Then restart DataMate, reduce the number of points collected, and begin data collection.
