UPLOADING SETTINGS AND DOWNLOADING DATA
The ATOM 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 CD as part of the Interface System.
The Settings Upload portion of the program provided can be used to set/change the
ATOMs Main Time, Date, Set A group (Alarms), and Set U group (Utilities) using the same
Interface System. The Set F group (FO2) and FREE Mode Alarms must be entered using the
ATOM's button controls.
Information available for retrieval (DownLoad) from the ATOM to the PC Download portion
of the program includes dive number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed dive
time, start date, start time, lowest temperature under water, sampling rate, dive profile,
ATOM's Set Points, pressure, Air Time Remaining, OTU, OTS, TLBG, O2BG, and Gas
Switching events/pressures/FO2s.
The ATOM checks for the presence of an interface device connection to the Data Port once
every second while in Watch Main Time Mode. Checks are not made if the Wet Activa-
tion contacts are wet. Upon sensing an interface connection, the requesting device (PC)
connects to the ATOM and is prepared for Upload of settings or Download of data which
are then initiated using the PC programs.
Prior to attempting to Download data from your ATOM or Upload Settings to it, review the
HELP section of the interface program. Recommended is to print those sections of HELP
that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.
