PC INTERFACE
The A300 and A300 XT are configured with Data Ports (Fig. 121a, 122a) that enable their attachment to an Interface System
capable of connection to a PC through a USB port.
A USB Driver, provided as part of the optional Interface System, must be installed on the PC.
The unit will check for an external access request every second while in Surface Mode (NORM, TECH, GAUG, or FREE).
Checks are not made if the activation contacts are wet.
When the interface cable is connected to the dive computer’s Data Port and a PC USB Port, a wake up connection is established,
all segments of the LCD are displayed, then a PC screen (Fig. 123) is displayed with the time counting down from 2:00 to 0:00
(min:sec) until completion of the upload/download operation at which time operation will revert to the Surface Main.
