Texas Instruments Calculators & Calculator Based Laboratory (CBL)

The CBL collects data by using detachable sensors or probes. Data can be collected with the following probes:

  • pH probe
  • Temperature sensor
  • Voltage Sensor
  • Heart Rate Monitor
  • Pressure sensor
  • Dissolved Oxygen Probe
  • Accelerometer
  • Motion detector
  • Magnetic Field Sensor
  • Student Force sensor
  • Colorimeter
  • Conductivity Probe
  • Barometer
  • Light intensity

A CBL has 6 data collection channels which allow the user to collect data on 5 channels simultaneously.

3 analog channels 2 digital channels 1 sonic channel

Data can be collected at a rate of up to 10,000 points per second, 512 points per channel

The CBL can be controlled by a TI 82/85 calculator, or it functions as a stand alone multimeter. CBL has an AUTOIDENT function that allows it to identify some probes when they are placed in channel one.

All of the data collected by the CBL can be uploaded and analyzed on a TI 82/85 calculator.

The TI 82/85 calculators and the CBL communicate in a language very similar to computer BASIC, making programming simple.


TI can be reached 8:00am - 4:00pm at 1-800 TI-CARES (1-800-842-2737) or by E-Mail at ti-cares@ti.com

TI operates two listserver discussion groups for users of their products, CALC-TI and GRAPH-TI. GRAPH-TI is specifically designed for educators and offers teachers using TI Graphing Calculators a forum for discussion of their successes and problems.
