Hi!

I'm new to the MacDive (version 2.0.6 on MacBookPro, Mac OS X 10.6.8) and I'm still learning, but there are a couple of things I don't understand.

• In the detail section of a dive there is a field "Raw" that sometimes shows "Surface"-event even though the actual depth is greater than 1,2 meter. (See the example below) Why?

• Another question is about Temperature that is rather randomly or not at all registered.

  

• And the last question I can't find any answer to is what does following Event mean:
  Attention
  Heading
  RGBM Warning

Hope you can sort this out and thanks for otherwise very nice program.

Best regards

Typically these are registered when you cross a certain threshold. I am assuming this is a suunto, what model is it?

[*]Another question is about Temperature that is rather randomly or not at all registered.

Again depending on model, the temperature data does not exist and is set to 0.

Heading

Attention and RGBM warning are both an indication that the device was telling you to extend your surface interval, and has therefore adjusted its deco algorithm to be a little more conservative.

Heading is when you lock a compass heading on your device.

Thank you for the answers

The computer I use is a Suunto D4. You said that the "Surface"-events are registered when I cross a certain threshold. The part of the dive I send you as example was at the depth between 26 and 23 meters, not even near the surface Other dives with similar profile are not "chunked" by "Surface"-event, so this doesn't seem to depend on passed thesholds.

Regarding temperature the data is registred in my computer (Suunto D4) and can be seen when viewed on the computer but for some reason some parts of the data for some dives are not transmitted to Mac Dive.

And the last thing - the "Heading"-event - there is no compass in Suunto D4..... So where are the "Heading"-events commig from???

Can you send us a memory dump of your D4? Instructions are available in this topic: http://www.mac-dive.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=407. You need the d9 test app for your D4.

Hello,

I have a Suunto Vyper 2, and some times I got also surface alarms in the middle of the dive.

Il will send you a message when I will got it in the future

Looks like Suunto Dive Manager interprets the data the same way.
