Linking Compatibility
The TI-84 Plus C has files and variables that may or may not be compatible with the TI-84 Plus family of
graphing calculators. The table below is provided as a reference for what you can SEND and RECEIVE.
Note: Not all TI-84 Plus C graphing calculator files are compatible with other TI-84 Plus Family graphing
calculator files because of the high resolution of the TI-84 Plus C color screen. In general, numeric files
(not limited to lists, variables, matrices, and functions) are shared between these graphing calculators
but Apps are not shared between these graphing calculators even if they have the same title. When not
compatible, the computer file extensions for the TI-84 Plus C are different from a similar variable from
the TI-84 Plus/TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculators.
