Vernier Tech Info Library TIL #2071

Question

TI Connect and general calculator communications are not supported in 64-bit Windows.

Answer

Texas Instruments does not support any 64-bit version of Windows for communications with calculators with released software (but keep reading).

As a result you cannot import data from a TI calculator into Logger Pro or Graphical Analysis due to missing drivers.

TI Connect is also incompatible with XP 64, Vista 64, and Windows 7 64.

Update 3/2010: There is now a beta version of TI Connect for 64-bit Vista and Windows 7. See
