Using special linking hardware, dive data can be downloaded (cop-

ied) from your ATMOS ai to an IBM compatible PC program run-

ning on a Windows

®

 operating system.

Compatibility requirements and instructions are provided with the

optional download package that is available from your Authorized

sampled throughout the dives.  See page 41 for setting Sampling

Rate.

The Interface Cable will be connected to the Data Port located on

the side of the ATMOS ai housing.

Prior to attempting to download data from your ATMOS ai, refer

to the instructions provided in the User Manual that is incorporated

into the CD for the download hardware/software package.

Refer to page 28 of this manual for instructions regarding access to
