Grouping files
Grouping lets you make a copy of two or more variables and store them in the Flash archive of the
TI-84 Plus C. This function is similar to "zipping" a computer file and storing it. For example, suppose
that you want to save data you collected for time, temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure
because you may need to use the data for another assignment.
Grouping lets you keep these lists together for future use. Instead of trying to locate the correct lists
and remember which ones were collected together, you can simply recall the group. Grouping also
saves space on your calculator by copying variables from RAM to Flash archive.
Grouping using the GROUP feature on the graphing calculator is for sharing files in the classroom and
on the web. TI Connect™ software for PC and TI Connect™ software for Mac each have a grouping file
feature that is best for storing graphing calculator files on the computer. See the help file in the TI
Connect™ software to understand more about the software groups files.
Note: Since Image Vars and Pic Vars reside in Flash archive, not RAM, you cannot group Image Vars and
Pic Vars.
