## What is Atom Downloader?

Geometrics’ Atom Downloader App allows the user to wirelessly connect to, and download data files from, the Atom Wireless Seismograph.
Because the Atom Downloader App is capable of offloading data from multiple Atom Wireless Seismographs at the same time, it is possible to download and begin processing your data more quickly and seamlessly than with traditional wired connections.  This is especially useful for large, multi-channel surveys or in cases where it is desirable to download data without moving the Atom or altering your survey’s geometry.  
The Atom Downloader App is ideal for a fully wireless survey, and since wired connections are often a weak point in geophysical surveys, this App allows you to remove a known weak point in your workflow.
Recent changes in the Atom Downloader App allows also the user to change acquisition parameters, delete seismic data files, ping the Atom Wireless Seismograph, get the Atom battery status, get the Atom Firmware version, power off every Atoms, plot data and save data in real time from multiple Atoms simultaneously for processing by SeisImager.
Real time monitor requires Atom 1C with firmware version 2.10 or greater and Atom 3C with version 2.13 or greater. (Firmware date 09/30/20020 or more recent).

Geometrics Atom Downloader App gives you better access to your data.
Features:
•	Wirelessly connect to your Atom Wireless Seismograph and keep your survey completely wire-free.  Eliminates troublesome wired connections.
•	Download data from multiple Atoms simultaneously – great for large, multi-channel surveys.
•	Faster data download – access and process your data more quickly.
•	Delete data from individual Atom or multiple Atoms simultaneously.
•	Change sample rate and gain for multiple Atoms.
•	Power off every Atoms simultaneously.
•	Ping individual Atom (Atom will beep).
•	Get individual Atom battery status.
•	Plot data in real time from multiple Atoms simultaneously.
•	Save data in real time from multiple Atoms simultaneously for processing by SeisImager.

1- Atom Downloaded Data is stored in public storage area that is accessible by users using iTunes and iOS FileManager. 
The data is also stored to a private folder shared with SeisImager for processing only if SeisImager 1.07 or later is installed..
This is to save storage space. 
If your are using a previous version of SeisImager, it will not be able to process the downloaded files since Atom Downloader will not write the Atom files to SeisImager directory. 
If SeisImager 1.07 or later is not installed and you still want to process the data with SeisImager, please use one of the previous build of Atom Downloader.

2- Fixed an issue in iOS Atom Downloader for speech synthesizer. Previous versions only worked for English language.
Make sure the phone is not in silent mode. Even in silent mode you can still hear Siri, or music, movie, etc... but you cannot hear the speech synthesizer.
In some iPhones or iPads there is a physical slider on the side of the device to put the device in silent mode or not. 
In other models there is an Alarm icon in the control center.

3- App WiFi automatic and special features should work for iOS 12 and above. 
App WiFi automatic and special features will not work and have been disabled for any iOS version less than 12. 

4- During download, App will detect if iOS Wi-Fi is On or Off and indicates it to user.

5- App has option (that can be set in setup page) to allow automatic connection to Wi-Fi access point atom0000 on startup.

6- App can reconnect to Atoms when Wi-Fi has been powered off or disconnected and powered back on or when Wi-Fi has been connected to different access point than atom0000 and then connected back to atom0000

7- App will need location services and location permission for checking SSID of current connected Access Point.

8- App will check if location services have been turned on and will indicate to user to do turn them on if not. 

9- App will check if location permission is enabled and if permission has not been denied before, App will prompt the user a choice for using location (Never, Ask Next time, while using the App and always).
If permission has been denied before, a dialog box with a "Settings" button should appear and takes user to the App location permission settings to restore the permission.
The location settings are available in iOS setting->Atom Downloader->Location. If the setting is grey out or not present, this means the location service has been turned off and it must be enable to for location to work.
They are also available in Settings->Privacy->Location Service->Atom Downloader->Location Permisions only if the location service has been turned on.

10- Modified Atom Download page
It now contains a status bar that indicates the network status such as Connected to atom0000, or not and which network it is connected.
The status also indicates if locations service and/or location permission are enable and if not indicates to the user that they need to enable those to get Wi-Fi status.
When not connected to atom0000, there is now a “Connect to atom0000” button, that will appear, and when clicked will request all the permissions needed (if not previously approved) and will ask the user to confirm that he wants to Join atom0000 network.

11- Added many new French and Japanese translations

Notes:
If App fail to reconnect to an Atom, but App can detect another new Atom or continue download on existing Atoms then nothing is wrong with App, you might need to power off and on the Atom.
If App cannot detect a new Atom or continue download on existing Atoms, make sure App is connected to atom0000 then wait until a connection can be established.
If not, try toggling the WiFi power On and Off or try deactivating and reactivating the Wi-Fi connection from Control Center.
