UPLOADING SETTINGS AND DOWNLOADING DATA
The GEO 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 OceanLog
Interface Cable.
A USB Driver is provided on the program CD as part of the Interface System.
The Settings Upload portion of the OceanLog program can be used to set/change
the Main Time, Date, Set A group (Alarms), and Set U group (Utilities) using the
same Interface System. The Set F group (FO2) and FREE Mode Alarms must be
entered using the button controls.
Information available for retrieval (DownLoad) to the PC Download portion of the
program includes dive number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed
dive time, start date, start time, lowest temperature under water, sampling rate,
dive profile, Set Points, OTU, OTS, TLBG, O2BG, and FO2.
The GEO 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) connects to the GEO and is prepared for Upload of
settings or Download of data which are then initiated using the PC programs.
Prior to attempting to Download data from your GEO or Upload Settings to it,
review the HELP section of the interface program. Recommended is to print those
sections of HELP that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.
