VerEmpty temperature sample readings are interpreted as 0 C

[fearsome]

After my latest set of dives with a Suunto Vyper Air, I exported my dives from DM5 as SDEs and imported them into MacDive. The SDEs contain water temperature samples, but it appears they only do so once for every five samples. Other sample in the embeded XML include a self-delimited tag with no temperature data. MacDive is interpreting this as a temperature of 0 C and the temperature graph shows a shark-toothed like form.

Example of what the data looks like:

Code: Select all

    <SAMPLE>
      <SAMPLETIME>0</SAMPLETIME>
      <DEPTH>1.32</DEPTH>
      <PRESSURE>222100</PRESSURE>
      <TEMPERATURE>30</TEMPERATURE>
      <SACRATE>52.51126</SACRATE>
      <CYLPRESS>0</CYLPRESS>
    </SAMPLE>
    <SAMPLE>
      <SAMPLETIME>20</SAMPLETIME>
      <DEPTH>4.4</DEPTH>
      <PRESSURE>218680</PRESSURE>
      <TEMPERATURE/>
      <SACRATE>55.51395</SACRATE>
      <CYLPRESS>0</CYLPRESS>
    </SAMPLE>
    <SAMPLE>
      <SAMPLETIME>40</SAMPLETIME>
      <DEPTH>7.42</DEPTH>
      <PRESSURE>216120</PRESSURE>
      <TEMPERATURE/>
      <SACRATE>54.26236</SACRATE>
      <CYLPRESS>0</CYLPRESS>
    </SAMPLE>

I am using version 2.3.7.

Hi there,

Email me the SDE data and I'll take a look. They only include it every 5 samples because the device only records it every 5 samples. MacDive should be remembering the last one, but something may be going wrong.

Drop me an email with the data and I'll get it resolved.
