SYNOPSIS

10       tikey [ options ] text ...
11

DESCRIPTION

14       tikey  allows  you to type commands on a connected TI graphing calcula‐
15       tor, using the ``remote control'' protocol supported by newer  calcula‐
16       tor models.
17
18       The  command-line arguments will be typed out as ASCII strings.  If you
19       need to send a special keycode, you can write it as an octal  or  hexa‐
20       decimal  value  preceded by `\' or `\x' (e.g., `\111' or `\x49' for the
21       `Y=' key on the TI-83 series.)  See the  calculator  SDK  documentation
22       for the actual keycode values.

25   LINK OPTIONS
26       -c, --cable=type[:port]
27              Use  the specified link cable (if unspecified, tikey will search
28              for USB cables connected to the system.)  The cable type may  be
29              either the full name (GrayLink, BlackLink, Parallel, SilverLink,
30              DirectLink, VTI, TiEmu, UsbKernel) or the 3-letter  abbreviation
31              (gry,  blk, par, slv, usb, vti, tie, dev).  For serial- and par‐
32              allel-port link cables, a port number must also be specified.
33
34       -m, --calc=type
35              Use the specified calculator model (if unspecified,  tikey  will
36              try to determine the calculator model automatically.)
37
38       --timeout=n
39              Wait for up to n milliseconds for the calculator to respond.
