SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       tiget  retrieves  variable  and/or  program  files  from a connected TI
15       graphing calculator.
16
17       For newer calculators, you can specify  a  list  of  variable  patterns
18       (such  as  `FOO.8xp', `*.83l', or simply `*' to download all files from
19       the calculator.)  (Remember that if you use wildcards, you must enclose
20       the  pattern  in quotes so that the shell will not try to interpret the
21       pattern itself.)
22
23       For older calculators (the TI-82 and TI-85), you  must  instead  select
24       the  files  to  be  transferred on the calculator itself.  Run tiget -m
25       model (without listing any patterns), then send the desired files using
26       the calculator's LINK menu.
27
28       By  default, the retrieved variables will be saved as separate files in
29       the current directory, in TI Graph Link format.  Use the -o  option  to
30       save the files as a single group file or TIG (ZIP) archive.
31
32
33   PROGRAM OPTIONS
34       -b, --backup
35              Receive a full memory backup from the calculator (only supported
36              for non-Flash calculator models.)  You must also specify -o.
37
38       -o, --output=filename
39              Write all output to filename.  If filename ends in `.tig', write
40              output as a TIG archive.  Otherwise, write output as either a TI
41              Graph Link group file (.XXg), Flash application file (.XXk),  or
42              backup  file (.XXb).  Note that group files cannot contain Flash
43              applications and are limited to a maximum total size of 64 kilo‐
44              bytes; TIG files do not have these limitations.
45
46
47   LINK OPTIONS
48       -c, --cable=type[:port]
49              Use  the specified link cable (if unspecified, tiget will search
50              for USB cables connected to the system.)  The cable type may  be
51              either the full name (GrayLink, BlackLink, Parallel, SilverLink,
52              DirectLink, VTI, TiEmu, UsbKernel) or the 3-letter  abbreviation
53              (gry,  blk, par, slv, usb, vti, tie, dev).  For serial- and par‐
54              allel-port link cables, a port number must also be specified.
55
56       -m, --calc=type
57              Use the specified calculator model (if unspecified,  tiget  will
58              try to determine the calculator model by the filenames specified
59              on the command line.)
60
61       --timeout=n
62              Wait for up to n milliseconds for the calculator to respond.
63
64
65   OTHER OPTIONS
66       -v, --verbose
67              Print out details of link operations.
68
69       --help Print out program version information.
70
71       --version
72              Print out program version information.
