SAC rates in Gas info and list view disagree

Post by WPaJim »

I imported 16 dives over the last week. In the first 8 the SAC rate in the list view is a little over double the shown in the Gas info screen. All the dives use the same tank.

Trying to attach a screenshot I get this message:
Sorry, the board attachment quota has been reached.

The dive list is approximate, for performance reasons. But see here:

I already changed this for the next release.

Thanks

Sure I've often seen a little discrepancy in the two values but not one being twice as much as the other. In any case it's nothing I can't live with until I see if the next release straightens it out. Thanks for your quick response.

Double seems high. My guess is you upgraded your Perdix to V65 but are not using the latest MacDive, in which case you will encounter a bug where the average depth is incorrect in the table (and therefore table calculation).

The SAC itself (RMV) will be fixed in the next update, but your average depth in that case would still be incorrect.

But I'm just speculating here.

You're right that the average depth is in fact way off on the first set of dives. However I am using MacDive 2.10.9. It's possible that I switched version half way through the trip. That would explain why the last dives are OK. The question now is how do I remedy those earlier dives?

Thanks

Hold Option, Right Click on them and while still holding option, click Refresh Selected Dives.

Yea! All is good now. Thanks yet again for your help.

FYI I now have a Paralenz camera which also logs dives...just wondering about a connection between that and MacDive.
