Import "old" dives

Post by Karl »

So i changed from win to Mac. V2.0.5, software seems to work fine, but: First import doesnt work correct (i think so) because dives, which are older than 2 years were not imported as single dives, they appear as repetitive dives (18! at one day???). Bug or feature? I now, that there are more than 100 dives on my suunto vyper - how can i import them all?

Your device can only hold a certain number of dives in its memory. It's likely the computer has filled up and started overwriting old ones. 100 is probably more than it can hold, depending on your sample rate. It's usually a bit lower than that, though.

I'm not sure about your repetitive dive numbers - you would need to follow the "how to report dive computer download problems" instructions and send me a copy of your data, so that I can take a look.

Edit: Maybe what you're seeing is that the first dive that imports (so the oldest one) has a repetitive dive number of 18, and there are no dives before that? If that's the case, it may be that the previous dive, which would have repetitive number 17, was overwritten when your device filled up. So you're just seeing a later dive in the series. That's just a guess without seeing the actual data, but it could explain what you are seeing.
