UPLOADING SETTINGS AND DOWNLOADING DATA
The Elite T3 is configured with a Data Port located on the back of the left side that enables
it to be connected to a PC through a USB port using the special Interface Cable supplied.
A USB Driver is provided on the AERIS Computer Interface program CD as part of the
Interface System.
The Settings Upload feature can be used to set/change the Elite T3s Set A group (Alarms),
Set U group (Utilities), and Set T group (Date/Time) using the Interface System. The Set F
group (FO2) and FREE Mode Alarms must be entered using the VT3's control buttons.
Information available for retrieval (DownLoad) from the Elite T3 to the PC OceanLog
program includes dive number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed dive time,
start date, start time, lowest temperature under water, sampling rate, dive profile, Elite T3's
set points, pressure, Air Time Remaining, OTU, OTS, ascent rate, NIBG, O2BG, and Gas
Switching events/pressures/FO2s.
The Elite T3 checks for the presence of an interface device connection to the Data Port
once every second while in Surface Mode. Checks are not made if the Wet Activation
contacts are wet. Upon sensing an interface connection, the requesting device (PC)
connects to the Elite T3 and is prepared for Upload of settings or Download of data which
are then initiated using the AERIS Computer Interface program.
Prior to attempting to Download data from your Elite T3 or Upload Settings to it, review the
HELP section of the AERIS Computer Interface program. Recommended is to print those
sections of HELP that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.
