Error Type INVALID DIM ITERATIONS LABEL LINK L1 (or any other file) to Restore MEMORY MemoryFull MODE NO SIGN CHNG NONREAL ANS OVERFLOW Possible Causes and Suggested Remedies • The ERR:INVALID DIM error message may occur if you are trying to graph a function that does not involve the stat plot features. The error can be corrected by turning off the stat plots. To turn the stat plots off, press y , and then select 4:PlotsOff. • You specified a list dimension as something other than an integer between 1 and 999. • You specified a matrix dimension as something other than an integer between 1 and 99. • You attempted to invert a matrix that is not square. • The solve( function or the equation solver has exceeded the maximum number of permitted iterations. Examine a graph of the function. If the equation has a solution, change the bounds, or the initial guess, or both. • irr( has exceeded the maximum number of permitted iterations. • When computing æ, the maximum number of iterations was exceeded. The label in the Goto instruction is not defined with a Lbl instruction in the program. The calculator has been disabled for testing. To restore full functionality, use TI Connect™ software to download a file to your calculator from your computer, or transfer any file to your calculator from another TI-84 Plus. (See the instructions under Important Things to Know about your TI-84 Plus, earlier in this chapter.) Memory is insufficient to perform the instruction or function. You must delete items from memory before executing the instruction or function. Recursive problems return this error; for example, graphing the equation Y1=Y1. Branching out of an If/Then, For(, While, or Repeat loop with a Goto also can return this error because the End statement that terminates the loop is never reached. • You are unable to transmit an item because the receiving unit's available memory is insufficient. You may skip the item or exit receive mode. • During a memory backup, the receiving unit's available memory is insufficient to receive all items in the sending unit's memory. A message indicates the number of bytes the sending unit must delete to do the memory backup. Delete items and try again. You attempted to store to a window variable in another graphing mode or to perform an instruction while in the wrong mode; for example, DrawInv in a graphing mode other than Func. • The solve( function or the equation solver did not detect a sign change. • You attempted to compute æ when FV, (Ú...PMT), and PV are all , 0, or when FV, (Ú...PMT), and PV are all _ 0. • You attempted to compute irr( when neither CFList nor CFO is > 0, or when neither CFList nor CFO is < 0. In Real mode, the result of a calculation yielded a complex result. This error is not returned during graphing. The TI-84 Plus allows for undefined values on a graph. You attempted to enter, or you have calculated, a number that is beyond the range of the graphing calculator. This error is not returned during graphing.

INVALID DIM
The
ERR:INVALID DIM
error message may occur if you are trying to graph a
function that does not involve the stat plot features. The error can be corrected
by turning off the stat plots. To turn the stat plots off, press
y ,
and
then select
4:PlotsOff
.
You specified a list dimension as something other than an integer between 1
and 999.
You specified a matrix dimension as something other than an integer between
1 and 99.
You attempted to invert a matrix that is not square.
ITERATIONS
The
solve(
function or the equation solver has exceeded the maximum
number of permitted iterations. Examine a graph of the function. If the
equation has a solution, change the bounds, or the initial guess, or both.
irr(
has exceeded the maximum number of permitted iterations.
When computing
æ
, the maximum number of iterations was exceeded.
LABEL
The label in the
Goto
instruction is not defined with a
Lbl
instruction in the
program.
LINK L1 (or any other
file) to Restore
The calculator has been disabled for testing. To restore full functionality, use
TI Connect™
software to download a file to your calculator from your
computer, or transfer any file to your calculator from another TI-84 Plus. (See
the instructions under
Important Things to Know about your TI-84 Plus
, earlier
in this chapter.)
MEMORY
Memory is insufficient to perform the instruction or function. You must delete
items from memory before executing the instruction or function.
Recursive problems return this error; for example, graphing the equation
Y1=Y1
.
Branching out of an
If
/
Then
,
For(
,
While
, or
Repeat
loop with a
Goto
also can
return this error because the
End
statement that terminates the loop is never
reached.
MemoryFull
You are unable to transmit an item because the receiving unit’s available
memory is insufficient. You may skip the item or exit receive mode.
During a memory backup, the receiving unit’s available memory is insufficient
to receive all items in the sending unit’s memory. A message indicates the
number of bytes the sending unit must delete to do the memory backup.
Delete items and try again.
MODE
You attempted to store to a window variable in another graphing mode or to
perform an instruction while in the wrong mode; for example,
DrawInv
in a
graphing mode other than
Func
.
NO SIGN CHNG
The
solve(
function or the equation solver did not detect a sign change.
You attempted to compute
æ
when
FV
, (
Ú
PMT
), and
PV
are all
0, or
when
FV
, (
Ú
PMT
), and
PV
are all
0.
You attempted to compute
irr(
when neither
CFList
nor
CFO
is > 0, or when
neither
CFList
nor
CFO
is < 0.
NONREAL ANS
In
Real
mode, the result of a calculation yielded a complex result. This error is
not returned during graphing. The TI-84 Plus allows for undefined values on a
graph.
OVERFLOW
You attempted to enter, or you have calculated, a number that is beyond the
range of the graphing calculator. This error is not returned during graphing.
The TI-84 Plus allows for undefined values on a graph.
