Once the settings are successfully programmed into the Diver the Start button will be enabled. 
Clicking the Start button opens the Start Diver dialog as shown below. Here you can select from the 
following three start methods: 

 

Immediate Start - Select this option to start the Diver immediately. Upon clicking [Start], the 
Diver will begin to take and record samples, as defined in the Diver settings 

 

Future Start - Select this option to start the Diver at a specified time in the future. Use the 
date and time boxes to enter the desired future start time. 

 

Smart Future Start - This option is useful in situations where you want to stop the Diver, 
download its data and then continue collecting data at the specified sample interval. 

After selecting the desired start method, click the [Start] button to save the start settings to the Diver.
