Two dive computers during a dive : a way to use both logs ?

[msevestre]

Hi

as some of us dive with two computer, it may sound interesting for a dive in MacDive to have "attached" the two computers logs.

As each computers may record complementary information (air, temperature or other data) or at different rate (20s for a Cobra, 30s for a Zoop, up to 2s (user configurable) on a BlueBuddy, etc.), the primary computer may remain the reference for the Macdive calculated data (if both computers provides a data), but the second log may bring detailed or complementary information on the dive.

Displaying the graphs coming from the two computers on the same graphic may be interesting (matching the two curves may be easy proving a "trim" setting to the user to make them match temporally speaking if needed)

This would also help to identify primary or secondary computer default (in case of high depth difference for example)

For example I use a Zoop as a primary dive computer but it miss a in-dive temperature logger & its record rate (30s) is low when doing some exercises that may need post-dive analysis. Using another dive computer or a bluebuddy with faster recording rate may bring temperature information but also detailed information in case of ascent speed warning (as a 30s record rate is too low to study what happened)
