When my D6i connected the time will stoped for few minute!!

Post by leopan »

Hi,I have downloaded the lastest version of Mac Dive for my D6i,I'm using the Lion on m Macbook pro MCP723,everything works fine,but after I disconnect my D6i,I found that the time stoped when it was connected~!etc,I plug the D6i on 4:19 am,disconnect it on 4:34am,and I check the D6i,it just displayed in 4:29am,I think that is a bug,Also I tried on my PC,which is using XP pro 32bit and the Suunto DM4,it works great~!No times delay~!So please fix it~!Thank you~! :) :) :)

PS.I try and test this for 3 times already :roll: :roll: :roll: .

We are using exactly the same set of commands to download data as the Suunto software, so there is absolutely no reason why there could be any side effect with macdive, but not with the Suunto software. Anyway, if there would indeed be any side effect, others would have noticed too, but that is not the case. So I suspect there is something on your side (almost empty battery maybe?).

For what it's worth, I owned a D6i for a few weeks and noticed this as well. My speculation at the time was that Suunto's software was sending a command to update the time when it closed the connection. Note that I didn't do any protocol analysis to confirm this, so it's just speculation on my part.

Personally, I consider it a defect of the dive watch. Time should not stop just because you connect a serial port. :)
