UPLOADING SETTINGS AND DOWNLOADING DATA
The Element II 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 a special Interface Cable that
is available as an optional accessory.
The USB Driver required for the Interface system is downloadable from tusa.com.
The Settings Upload portion of the program provided can be used to set/change the Set A
group (Alarms), Set U group (Utilities), and Set T group (Time/Date) using the same Inter-
face System. The Set F group (FO2) and FREE Mode Alarms must be entered using the
Element II's button controls.
Information available for retrieval (DownLoad) from the Element II 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 underwater, sampling rate,
dive profile, Set Points, NiBG, O2BG, and Gas Switching events.
The Element II checks for the presence of an interface device connection to the Data Port
once every second while in Surface mode. Checks are not made if the Wet Activation
contacts are wet. Upon sensing an interface connection, the requesting device (PC)
connects to the Element II and is prepared for Upload of settings or Download of data
which are then initiated using the PC program.
Prior to attempting to Download data from your Element II 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.
