Calculator-Based Laboratory

The Calculator-Based Laboratory (CBL) is a mobile data collection device manufactured by Texas Instruments in collaboration with Vernier Software & Technology and introduced in 1994. The CBL can be used to collect data either in conjunction with a TI graphing calculator, or on its own.[1]

Different from programming languages, it consists of a set of commands starting with a colon (:) which are to be executed in existing applications such as the default calculator and the graphical calculation program.

A CBL script example

 
   :smplprgm()
   :Prgm
   :Request "Give a value.",userin
   :expr(userin)^2*π!result
   :Disp result
   :EndPrgm
gollark: Some neural networks use it now.
gollark: Oh, FFT acceleration would be cool* and useful** for your graphics coprocessor.
gollark: ]
gollark: It's not an actual computer then, sorry.]
gollark: Okay, if not machine learning, can it run Doom?
