Archiving documentsnon TI Nspire

[Jaime Burbano]

Is there a way to archive documents on the TI Nspire as there is on the TI 84 family?

[Dennis Donovan]

I don't believe so, and there is no need to.

On theTI-84, you only have so much RAM to work with running programs, etc. and it is volatile RAM, meaning that if you're calculator gets reset, you lose everything that is not archived.  The Archive on the TI-84 is Non-Volatile RAM, meaning that it doesn't get erased if the calculator gets reset, so you archive programs (any other things) so you don't lose them if the calculator gets reset and also to free up memory (RAM) to run programs in.  So Archiving just moves programs from one section of memory (volatile) to another section of memory (non-volatile), but you can't run programs that are archived, you must first move them back to the volatile memory so they will run.

On the TI-Nspire all the memory is Non-Volatile RAM, so resets do not affect documents, they won't be wiped out.  If you find that you're memory is running out, then you'll have to transfer the documents to the computer and delete them off the handheld.

Hope that helps.
