NAME
TiLP2 - a communication program for TI calculators ('Tilp Is a Linking
Program')
SYNOPSYS
tilp [--help] [--version] [-h] [-v] [--calc=] [--cable=] [--port= ]
[--timeout=] [--delay=] [--no-gui] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The TiLP program allows you to backup, restore and archive variables
and/or applications of your Texas Intruments calculator on your com-
puter. It has also additional features such as screen dump, remote con-
trol, ROM dump, FLASHing. TiLP is a very complete program. Moreover,
you have the same program for all calculator models.
OPTIONS
The command line of tilp can be used for sending files like variables,
backup, FLASH apps, OS, TiGroup, .... You can not do any other opera-
tions. If you want more operations, you have to use the GUI. For send-
ing one or more file, simply pass the filename(s) on the command line.
If you want to use TiLP from console, use the --no-gui switch.
Take care: options must be passed before the filename !
tilp accepts the following options:
-h, --help
Display a list of all command line options.
-v, --version
Output the version info.
--no-gui, -n
Send file(s) without launching any Graphical User Interface. All
information is displayed in the console. Beware: using this
switch disables any overwrite check. Use it with care!
--silent, -s
Skip questions in no GUI mode. Should be used with --no-gui
switch.
--calc=CALC, CALC
Select a calculator type: v200, ti92+, ti92, ti89t, ti89, ti86,
ti85, ti84+, ti83+, ti83, ti82 or ti73.
--cable=CABLE, CABLE
Select a link cable type: GrayLink, BlackLink, Parallel, Silver-
Link, DirectLink, VTi, TiEmu.
--port=PORT, -pPORT
Specify on which port the link cable is plugged on. Can be null,
1, 2, 3 or 4.
--timeout=TIMEOUT, -tTIMEOUT
in tenth of seconds (0.1 s). This is the time while the program
wait a response of the calculator. Once this delay elapsed, the
program send a time out error. The default value is 1 seconds.
--delay=DELAY, -dDELAY
in microseconds. This is the time which separate the transmis-
sion of 2 bytes. The default value is 5 microseconds. Decrease
this value increase the transfer speed but decrease the relia-
bility of the transmission.
EXAMPLE
Quicly send (no gui) an TI89 file with a BlackLink cable on the second
serial port (/dev/ttyS1 or COM2); timeout is set to 2s:
tilp --calc=ti89 --cable=BlackLink --port=2 --timeout=20 --no-gui
group.89g
Starting at version 1.13, a new & shorter syntax can be used:
tilp ti89 blacklink -p2 -t20 -n group.89g
CONFIG FILE FORMAT
This section describes the format of the .tilp config file which is in
the home directory of the user (Linux) or the tilp.ini file (Win32).
The file is separated into several sections (hardware, gui, calc,
external programs, fonts, screen, misc). But, there is no order, you
can write lines as you want. A line preceded by the '#' symbol is a
comment. Each line has the following format: option=something. Every
line can be put in any order. Beware: any comment added to the file
will be overwritten ! Below is described each option and the possible

in simplified view (no right frame).
local_sort= Define the sorting method for the right window. Choose one
of the following value: name, date, size, user, group, attrib
local_sort_order= Define the sorting order for the right window. Choose
