 Hello everybody and welcome back to another video emphasizing the TI Inspire calculators with Texas Instruments, a lot of the cool software and programming stuff that they do. In the last video we actually went ahead and installed the computer link software. We found that online at education.ti.com and we were searching for all the software and kind of applications that come with TI Inspire. We had obviously the operating system itself, the computer link software, what we just installed and in this video we want to install the student software. If you bought your calculator it should have likely came with a license number or kind of a key that allows you to use the student software on your own computer and what this student software really is is it's kind of like an emulator for your for your calculator. You can kind of play with all the functions and things that your calculator would normally be able to do and you can see it on your own computer, you can type with your own keyboard and lots of really cool other stuff. So I'm gonna go ahead and click on here. I noticed and I'm sure you noticed in the last tutorial we saw a student software is available to download. We'll click on that and again I want it for Windows. I'll use the EXE and once we download this we can go in and save the file and that's gonna take quite a while to download but I'll see you when the download is complete. Okay now it looks like the file has finished downloading. I'll click on this over here. Go ahead and run the program. When it asks you to it'll extract some files and then of course we'll get a nice little wizard again like we did in the last tutorial. This setup wizard would install the TI-inspired student software on your computer. I'm gonna go ahead and click next. It'll ask for the folder. You can really put this anywhere you want but typically TI always puts things in TI education which is a good spot for it. Now we can go ahead and install and really just wait for this to go. It should copy a few files, update the properties or whatever it needs to do with settings and drivers and then very very quickly I'm hoping you will find that your installation is complete. There we go. We can go ahead and click the finish button to exit and if we check this box we can go ahead and launch the software right ahead. You'll see the splash screen go ahead and shine up just like the computer link software did. It'll validate everything and that's really all you need to do. If you have a license number you should go ahead and type that in. If you have a trial period it'll go ahead and allow you to type that and I'll let you go ahead and do this and well once things are all done complete for you I'm gonna fire up mine. I've got the TI-inspired CAS student software. You should be obviously installing whichever one is corresponding to your calculator. The TI- inspired CAS is the one that I haven't already installed and well you'll see this program and this window kind of pop up and this is it. This is the student software. On the left hand side it gives you kind of a documents toolbox that allows you to play with the buttons on the calculator or at least a kind of a digital version of it. You can switch over to the application things that you have open and even do more with it. I'm gonna resize this so we can do a little bit more. You can see the cursor over here works just fine and if we can add a calculator I think if we go into view up at the top here you can see it in the form of the handheld. I'm gonna need a bit more space for this. Okay now you can see it. If I type in like four plus four we get eight or four squared. We get 16 and we're really just working with the calculator at this point. It is just an emulator but the thing that's important to mention and I suppose I should have mentioned this beforehand. It's important that you download the thing that you need because you have the TI-inspired and there is of course the TI-inspired CAS so you should be looking for the student software that is relevant to what you're working with. The CX CAS or just a regular TI-inspired. Okay thanks for watching everybody. Hope you enjoyed this tutorial and we'll be working with the student software very very soon and in later videos. Thanks.
