Archiving Variables (Archive, Unarchive)
You can store variables in the TI-84PlusCE user data archive, a protected area of
memory separate from RAM. The user data archive lets you:
• Store data, programs, applications or any other variables to a safe location where
they cannot be edited or deleted inadvertently.
• Create additional free RAM by archiving variables.
By archiving variables that you do not need to edit frequently, you can free up RAM for
applications that may require additional memory.
The graphing calculator places an asterisk (ä)to the left of archived variables. You
cannot edit or execute archived variables. You can only see and unarchive them.
Example:
If you archive a list named L1, you will see that it exists in memory. However, if you
select and paste the name L1 to the home screen, it will not appear on the home
screen. You must unarchive it in order to see its contents and edit it.
Note: Image Vars are run and stored in archive, but when an Image Vars displays in
VARS 4:Picture & Background, the BACKGROUND menu does not display the asterisk *.
