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
