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 program provided can be used to set/change the ATOM’s Main Time,
Date, Set A group (Alarms), and Set U group (Utilities) using the same Interface System.
Information available for retrieval (DownLoad) from the ATOM to the PC Download pro-
gram includes dive number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, start
date, start time, lowest temperature under water, sampling rate, dive profile, user-defined
set points, alarm events, alarm deactivation, OTU, OTS, NiBG, 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 Activation
contacts are wet. Upon sensing an interface connection, the requesting device (PC) con-
nects to the ATOM and is prepared for Upload of settings or Download of data which are
then initiated using the PC programs.
