tiget - Man Page
retrieve files from a graphing calculator
Synopsis
tiget [ options ] [ variable-pattern ... | --backup ]
Description
tiget retrieves variable and/or program files from a connected TI graphing calculator.
For newer calculators, you can specify a list of variable patterns (such as `FOO.8xp', `*.83l', or simply `*' to download all files from the calculator.) (Remember that if you use wildcards, you must enclose the pattern in quotes so that the shell will not try to interpret the pattern itself.)
For older calculators (the TI-82 and TI-85), you must instead select the files to be transferred on the calculator itself. Run tiget -m model (without listing any patterns), then send the desired files using the calculator's LINK menu.
By default, the retrieved variables will be saved as separate files in the current directory, in TI Graph Link format. Use the -o option to save the files as a single group file or TIG (ZIP) archive.
Program Options
- -b, --backup
Receive a full memory backup from the calculator (only supported for non-Flash calculator models.) You must also specify -o.
- -o, --output=filename
Write all output to filename. If filename ends in `.tig', write output as a TIG archive. Otherwise, write output as either a TI Graph Link group file (.XXg), Flash application file (.XXk), or backup file (.XXb). Note that group files cannot contain Flash applications and are limited to a maximum total size of 64 kilobytes; TIG files do not have these limitations.
Link Options
- -c, --cable=type[:port]
Use the specified link cable (if unspecified, tiget will search for USB cables connected to the system.) The cable type may be either the full name (GrayLink, BlackLink, Parallel, SilverLink, DirectLink, VTI, TiEmu, UsbKernel) or the 3-letter abbreviation (gry, blk, par, slv, usb, vti, tie, dev). For serial- and parallel-port link cables, a port number must also be specified.
- -m, --calc=type
Use the specified calculator model (if unspecified, tiget will try to determine the calculator model by the filenames specified on the command line.)
- --timeout=n
Wait for up to n milliseconds for the calculator to respond.
Other Options
- -v, --verbose
Print out details of link operations.
- --help
Print out program version information.
- --version
Print out program version information.
