UPLOADING SETTINGS AND DOWNLOADING DATA
The VT3 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 OceanLog CD as part of the Interface System.
The Settings Upload feature can be used to set/change the VT3’s 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 VT3 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, VT3's set points,
pressure, Air Time Remaining, OTU, OTS, ascent rate, TLBG, O2BG, and Gas Switching
events/pressures/FO2s.
The VT3 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
VT3 and is prepared for Upload of settings or Download of data which are then initiated
using the PC OceanLog program.
Prior to attempting to Download data from your VT3 or Upload Settings to it, review the
HELP section of the OceanLog program. Recommended is to print those sections of HELP
that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.
