Combining data from two computers

Post by dc3john »

Hello all,

I need a little help and/or tips on combining data. I now dive with primarily the Shearwater Petrel2. I bring along with me a sherwood wisdom 3 so I can monitor my air consumption and also as a back up device.

Can I download dives from both computers so that I can combine the data?
If so how?

Is this advisable or no?

thanks in advance, John.

Well, you can download from both computers. But right now there is no way to combine the profile data from different ones.

Merging dives is on my todo list and I will be looking at it shortly.

Hello - I was wondering if there was any update on this request. I have a Shearwater Petrel and a NERD and they show up as 2 separate dives in my logbook. I have both the Mac and iOS apps. Thank you!

I'd also be interested in knowing if this is possible now or in the near future. I dive with a TX1 (which gives me some trouble from time-to-time...) And I use a Sherwood Wisdom 3 as my back-up. Well today I imported the last 2 days worth of data (4 dives) from the TX1 and despite them all being in the log it only imported the last 3! Not the earliest one from yesterday morning.

I had never downloaded from my Sherwood before and didn't even have the Sherwood $90 cable but noted that the connection points on the TX1 and the SW3 were about the same. I also remembered reading that they use the same chipset (from someone who posted on trying to make a cable for the Sherwood since they are so bleeding expensive).

Well I took my Hollis TX1 cable and sure enough "click" it went into place in the Sherwood W3!!!

I clicked on download dives and picked the Sherwood W3 as the import computer and BAM! a few seconds later I had all the data that I couldn't get off of the Hollis!!!

Well the only problem is that since I had never downloaded data from the Sherwood before it took in ALL the data so I had a bunch to delete out. But then I thought how cool it would be if it could be blended and saw this thread. If you could it would be awesome. 1 dive, 2 datasets, The options should be to overlay them, so one is a primary and the other a secondary so that no data is "lost" it is just all there in a single dive. If you could pick 2 dives and "blend" it would be a great feature to have. I'd download data from both sets all the time.

Thanks for a great product and keep me up to date on this feature I would love to see!
