PC/MAC INTERFACE

The Settings Upload portion of the OceanLog or DiverLog program can be used to set/change the Watch Time selections, 

Set A group selections (Alarms), and Set U group selections (Utilities).  

Information available for retrieval (download) from the OCL to the OceanLog or DiverLog program includes dive number, 

surface interval, max depth, dive time, start date/time, lowest temperature, sampling rate, dive profile, set points, and bar 

graphs.

Prior to attempting to download data from your OCL or upload settings to it, review the Help section of the OceanLog or Di-

verLog program.  Recommended 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 OCL is configured with a data contacts located on the side that enables it to be connected to a PC or Mac USB port 

using the special Interface Cable.  

To connect the interface cable to the OCL:

>   With the watch facing upwards, angle the electrical contact side into the cradle of the USB interface (Fig. 129).  

Ensure that the electrical contacts line up correctly.

>  Then press the opposite side of the watch until it snaps securely into the cradle (Fig. 130).

CAUTION:  Avoid damage to the contact pins of the USB Interface by installing the contact side of the 

watch first.  Removal should be the reverse order, removing the contact side last.

The OCL must be in Watch Mode to interface with a PC or MAC computer. The OCL checks for a connection to the Data 

Port once every second while the Watch Main Time is displayed.  Checks are not made if the Wet Activation contacts are 

wet.  

When the interface cable is plugged in, the graphic PC CDT is displayed (Fig. 131) with a 2 minute countdown timer that 

runs until the connection is confirmed, then all the segments of the OCL screen are displayed (Fig. 132).
