The Get( command is meant for use with the CBL (Calculator Based Laboratory) device, or other compatible devices. When the calculator is connected by a link cable to such a device, Get(''variable'') will read data from the device and store it to ''variable''. Usually, this data is a list, and so you want to Get(L1) or some other list variable.

= Advanced Uses =

In fact, the Get( command can also be used for linking two calculators, in which case it functions precisely like [[TI-BASIC:Getcalc|GetCalc(]]. This is probably for compatibility with the TI-82, which used Get( rather than GetCalc( for linking two calculators. However, since this isn't a documented feature (in fact, your TI-83+ manual will insist that Get( '''cannot''' be used in this way), it isn't guaranteed to work with future calculator versions.

= Optimization =

Nevertheless, using Get( instead of GetCalc( will make your program smaller, and probably preserve functionality.

= Norland Robot =
The get command is usually used after a send command to confirm its transmission like this: get(var). The variable in the parentheses is where the time of the robot's movement is stored. You can display the time moved with a disp command.
