4.1.3. Data Transfer and PC-Interface [3 TR-PC]
The instrument can be connected to an IBM compatible personal com-
puter (PC), using the optional PC-Interface and software. With the PC-
Interface unit, dive data from the dive computer can be downloaded to
a PC. The PC software can be used for educational and demonstration
purposes, for planning dives, and for keeping a complete record of your
dive history with the instrument. Additional Logbook data can also be
added. Paper copies of your dive log and profi les can easily be printed.
The data transfer is carried out using the connector on the bottom of the
unit. The following data is transferred to the PC:
• depth profi le of the dive
• dive time
• preceding surface interval time
• dive number
• Altitude and Personal adjustment settings
• oxygen percentage settings and maximum OLF (in Nitrox
mode)
• tissue calculation data
• temperature at the beginning of the dive, maximum depth and
end of the dive
• dive entry time (year, month, day and time)
• additional dive information (e.g. SLOW and Mandatory Safety
Stop violations, Diver Attention Symbol, Bookmark, Surfaced
Mark, Decompression Stop Mark, Ceiling Error Mark,gas
change)
• dive computer serial number
• personal 30 character information
• cylinder pressure at the beginning and at the end of the dive (i.e.
pressure drop DP during dive)
• surface air consumption.
Using the PC software, you are able to enter setup options such as:
• input a personal, 30 character fi eld into the Vytec (i.e. your
name)
• reset the Dive History’s max depth to zero.
It is also possible to manually add comments and other personal informa-
tion to the PC based dive data fi les. The PC-Interface package comes
complete with the interface unit, the software and an installation guide.
To enter the Data Transfer mode select MODE- 1 MEMORY- 3 TR – PC
