Calculator model identification

We're glad you came by, but you might find what you're looking for elsewhere. TI-Basic Developer is not the site it once was. While its information on commands and other calculator features remains almost second-to-none, its forum, archives, and even hosting service, Wikidot, have been decaying for years. The calculator community would love to see what you're working on, or help you in your next coding adventure, but TI-Basic Developer is no longer the place to do it. Instead, you should head over to Cemetech (primarily American) or TI-Planet (primarily international). Both are active, well-established forums with their own archives, chatrooms, reference material, and abundant coding tools and resources. We'll see you there, we hope.

Anyway to identify calculator model?

Calculator model identification

jimax 15 Nov 2019 22:13

Is there a way to identify the calculator model in a program? I have a program I first wrote for the TI-83/84. I have modified the program for the TI-84 Plus CE with its larger screen size. I would like to identify the calculator model in the program and adjust the screen output within the program. The model is available from the keypad through MEM->About, but can that information be accessed via a program?

No, not in pure TI-Basic. The built-in language does not support any commands that retrieve that information. However, a simple way to determine if a calculator is a monochrome or color…

ZStandard
ΔX<.2

For the output, one is color and zero is monochrome.

You can use Celtic 3 (Flash app library) to retrieve that info though (Link to .zip folder will be posted tomorrow).

Celtic 3 commands for calc info:

det(4 - RAM memory
det(4,1 - ROM memory
det(4,2 - Product ID, First 10 hex digits from the about screen
det(4,3 - OS version (Note that the period will be bugged, it still works correctly. E.x. "2CubicReg55")

real(11    ;Same command in xLib
0- 83+
1- 83+SE
2- 84+
3- 84+SE

EDIT: The .zip archive has been uploaded to forum attachments. Please see the top right of the page.
