PC INTERFACE
Interface with a PC, to allow uploading settings and downloading data, is accomplished
by connecting the VEO to a PC USB Port using the special VEO USB Interface Cable.
The software program together with the USB Driver required is on the Oceanlog CD, and
can be downloaded from the OceanicWorldwide web site. The program's HELP** serves
as the user manual which can be printed for personal use.
** Prior to attempting to Download data from your VEO 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.
The Settings Upload portion of the Oceanlog program can be used to set/change Set
A (Alarms), Set U (Utilities), Set T (Time, Date), and Set FA (Free Alarms) using the same
Interface System. FO2 related items must be set using the control buttons.
Information available for retrieval (download) from the VEO to the PC Download portion
of the program includes dive data such as dive number, surface interval time, maximum
depth, elapsed dive time, no deco status, start date/time, lowest temperature under water,
sampling rate, dive profile, and Set Points.
The Oceanlog program also allows upgrade of select versions of the VEO's firmware
(operating system software) after which the VEO resets all operating data. Since the
upgrades require reset of the VEO, they are blocked during 24 hours after dives.
