PC INTERFACE
Interface with a PC is accomplished by connecting the DataMask to a PC USB Port using
the OceanLog USB Interface Cable. The same Cable is used for Upload and Download.
The software program is on the OceanLog CD, together with a USB Driver. The program's
Help section serves as the User Manual and can be printed for personal use. The Settings
Upload portion of the program is used to check the DataMask's existing Settings and for
entering settings into the DataMask. The Data Download portion of the program is used to
retrieve Data that was sampled during dives and stored in the DataMask's memory.
The DataMask checks for an External Access request once every second while in Surface
Mode. Checks are not made if the unit is WET. For a connection to be made, the Inter-
face Cable is plugged into the DataMask's Data Port and plugged into a PC USB Port. To
establish the connection, the OceanLog PC program must be running. When the connec-
tion is made, all segments of the DataMask appear on the display until completion of the
Upload or Download operation.
The DataMask reverts to the Surface Mode Main screen after completion of the
Upload or Download operation, or after 2 minutes if no OceanLog PC program
action was taken.
