How to Scroll up the Screen of a Ti-83 Plus
Special applications and upgrades for the TI-83 Plus are also available for download from the TI website. Visit the calculator's product page on the Texas Instruments website, then select the "applications" tab. Some of the helpful downloads include an area-formulas app with practice exercises and quiz questions and a cell-sheet app for data that can be shared with Microsoft Excel using conversion software. Other apps help develop logic and reasoning skills or allow basic note-taking and word-processing on the calculator. The apps page even has downloadable puzzle-style games designed for the calculator.
Installing upgrades or applications requires a computer with the TI Connect software installed. This software is available on the TI website. Connect the calculator to the computer with the TI Connectivity Cable, a standard A- to Mini-B USB cable. Follow prompts within the TI Connect software to install the desired upgrade or application. This method can also be used to install updates to the calculator's operating system, as needed.
