PC INTERFACE
The Settings Upload portion of the Oceanlog PC Interface (PCI) program can be used to set/change the Main Time, Date, Set A
group (Alarms), and Set U group (Utilities) using the Interface System. The Set F group (FO2) and FREE Mode Alarms must be
entered using the OCS's button controls.
Information available for retrieval (download) from the OCS to the PC program includes dive number, SI, max depth, EDT, start
date/time, lowest temperature, sampling rate, dive profile, Set Points, TLBG, O2BG, and Gas Switching events.
Prior to attempting to download data from your OCS or upload settings to it, review the Help section of the PCI program. Recom-
mended is to print those sections of Help that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.
A USB Driver is provided on the Oceanlog CD as part of the Interface System.
The OCS is configured with a Data Port located on the side (Fig. 161a) that enables it to be connected to a PC USB port using
the special Interface Cable.
To connect the PCI Cable to the OCS:
> position the connector with the red dot at 12 o'clock.
> align the pins of the cable connector with the holes in the data port and press the connector into the port (Fig. 162).
> turn the connector clockwise until the red dot is at 1 o'clock and it locks in (Fig. 163), then release it.
The OCS checks for a connection to the Data Port once every second while the Watch Default Time is displayed. Checks are not
made if the Wet Activation contacts are wet.
When the PCI cable is plugged in, the graphic PC COMM is displayed with a 2 minute countdown timer that runs until the con-
nection is confirmed, then the graphics PC COMM CONNECTED are displayed until completion of the upload or download
operation.

CLEAR (RESET)
The OCS is configured with a feature that allows nitrogen and oxygen calculations to be cleared.
This is intended for facili-
ties using the OCS for rental or training activities, not for general use by individual divers.
WARNING: Reset after a dive and subsequent use for a repetitive dive conducted by the same diver
could result in serious injury or death.
