PC INTERFACE
Interface with a PC is accomplished by connecting the ATOM to a PC USB Port using the
USB Interface Cable provided. The same Cable is used for Upload and Download.
The software program is on the CD provided, together with a USB Driver. The program's
Help serves as the user manual and can be printed for personal use. The Settings Upload
program is used to check the ATOM's existing Settings and for entering Time, Alarm, and
Dive Computer settings into the ATOM. The Data Download program is used to retrieve
Data that was sampled during dives and stored in the ATOM's memory.
The ATOM checks for an External Access request once every second while in the Watch
Main Time. Checks are not made if the unit is WET. For a connection to be made, the
Interface Cable is clipped onto the ATOM's Data Port and plugged into a PC USB Port. To
establish the connection, the PC program must be running. When the connection is made,
all segments of the ATOM appear on the display until completion of the Upload or Down-
load operation.
The ATOM reverts to the Watch Main Time screen after completion of the Upload or
Download operation, or after 2 minutes if no PC action was taken.
SYMBOLS AND ALPHA NUMERIC GRAPHICS
The upper line of digits on the LCD screen is used to convey alpha Messages such as Day
of the Week, Operating Modes, items being Set, Gas and Transmitter identification,
Altitude level, and Alarm identification. At times, the second line is also used to display
alpha numeric graphics such as PO2 and On/Off. The FO2 setting of a selected Gas will
appear in the lower line.
