UPLOADING SETTINGS AND DOWNLOADING DATA
The F10 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 ACI
(AERIS Computer Interface) Cable, when viewing the Watch Main Time screen or Free Surface Main screen.
The Settings Upload portion of the ACI program can be used to set/change the Main Time/Date selections, Set A group selections (Alarms), and Set U
group selections (Utilities).
The Download portion of the program can be used to retrieve/copy data (Download it) from the F10.
The data includes dive number, surface interval time, maximum depth, elapsed dive time, start date/time, start/end depth, lowest temperature
underwater, sampling rate, dive profile, and Set Points.
The F10 checks for the presence of an interface device connection to the Data Port once every second while operating in Watch Main Time or Free
Surface mode. Checks are not made if the Wet Activation contacts are wet.
When the cable is connected to the F10, a PC screen appears on the display with a 120 second countdown (Fig. 73).
Upon sensing an interface connection with the PC, the countdown will be terminated and all segments of the LCD will be displayed. This indicates that
the PC and F10 are connected and prepared for Upload of settings or Download of data, which is then initiated using the PC program.
Operation reverts to the Watch Main Time or Free Surface Main screen after completion of the Upload or Download operation, or after 2 minutes (120
second countdown reaches 0) if no PC action was taken.
Prior to attempting to Download data from your F10 or Upload Settings to it, review the HELP section of the ACI program which serves as its User
Manual. Recommended is to print those sections of HELP that you consider appropriate for your Interface activities.
