wooow must have been a great dive.

and with a (I mean : one!!!;)) corona with a twist of "citron" after the dive even better lol...

greetings, Alain.

Hi Divinglog, that's correct, installed the Mozilla browser, downloaded and openend the zip file with winzip and got the file with the .hex extension and the two text files.

Thanks a lot mate, ...

Seems that Microsoft is bugging us again....
The bastards...

in attachments you can see the difference with old files i downloaded one or two months ago, and withe the new 1.40 I downloaded. Out of curiosity, I tried downloading 1.30 again and I also don't get the .hex file extension nor the text files anymore.

HELP!!!
Tried with 7-zip(on my USB stick), new ...

I can extract the file with 7-Zip and with Izarc but I don't see the .hex file extension, nor the text files. What do I do wrong?

Hi Steve and corona(luv that beer with a twist of lemon/citron);)

Corona : the question is not why does one want to use VPM, but when does one want to use VPM(B).
When would someone use VPM algorithm instead of GF? Well as you can see , with longer bottom times on great depths( deeper than 40m ...

Matthias , don't know what is wrong, but I get this message from winzip(see attachment)

here you can see the curves...
Greetz...

corona citron : check it out, even with GF 30-75 you won't get as soon out of the water as with VPMB. No matter what settins you use, or you'll get a skull on your OSTC
Check out the OTU's and CNS also....

corona citron :

What you tell is correct and incorrect:

try a dive with trimix 20/25 and deco gas EAN70 to a depth of let's say 60m and bottom time greater than 60 minutes, and run the simuation with a program that runs on Gradient Factors let's say 30/90(which is allready rather agressive), you ...

Hello Steve

Strange indeed, as I had this in Egypt too.
Could it have anything to do with the high air-temperatures or maybe something with the pressure at sea level in Egypt(maybe it's higher because of the higher temperatures??)or maybe with the high salinity factor of the water in the Red Sea ...

Hi OSTC fan,

I don't know if it's soldered or cooked/heated up.
I'm a technician, but I don't like opening/tampering divecomputers myself, I leave that to the pro's.

I think that's a question that you'd better ask to heinrichs/weikamp.
after all they are the manufacturers that built it.

As for ...

:( Hi all at Heinrichs Weikamp,
Just back from a diving holiday in Sharm el Sheikh/Egypt(before I went on holidays havent't been in the water again with my ostc, but did a couple of testdives via my laptop and seemed to be ok, and kept my ostc in handluggage at all time during the flight).
Done a ...

Hello, problem seems to be solved by deleting all the dives, and installing V 1.30 and resetting to default(CF values back to default values).
Done a few test- dives with J-divelog and seems to be fine now.
After I've done that I've changed some CF values again to see if I could generate a bad dive ...

Hello, deleted the dives,installed firmware 1.30, and made a computer dive(simulation) to 55m on air and followed the decostops.
Went to logbook on the OSTC, the problem still consists...
Opened JDivelog, no problem to get the Dive from my OSTC...
Tried again with installing firmware 1.22, same ...

Second time I've got this with the previous version of 1.30(just seen there is a new one):
after a OC dive on air I want to take a look in the logbook, so far so good.
But after I enter the dive I want to have a look at(to see the graphic of the dive etc...), the dive profile opens up and starts ...

To Simon:

Thanx for the info, but I'm not looking for the maximum(wanna stay alive and have some more dives...lol), just something that + - reflects the tables and my old computer, because my buddy dives with a SUUNTO VYTEC , so it is great to know if our NDL are aprox. the same....

Thanx sailor,

with settings 30/90 i do get some more(11 min), so that's about the same as my tables and my old mosquito.

greetings,
Alain.

;) hi I've tried a simulation to a dive 33m on air(with the new stable 1.28 VERSION) and got a no deco time of 7 minutes, when I take a look into my good old IANTD air tables I get 12 minutes, and with my old SUUNTO mosquito I get about 12 minutes too. Can I enlarge my no deco time on my OSTC to ...

;)since I'm not an engineer myself , has anyone(designers of the OSTC perhaps) ever thought about this? :

would it be possible to make something (software/hardware) that would turn the OSTC(model with sealed bulkhead) into a nitrox(/helium) analyser for open circuit???

would come in very handy on ...

:)hello to all :
Got message today from Matthias my OSTC is getting fixed and being shipped back to me.

I must say I've never been helped so fast and never been informed so well anywhere else in my whole life.

If any new diver now comes to ask to me which brand of divecomputer I prefer, it will be ...

Hello Matthias,

Again thanx for the quick response.
As suggested ,I've tried resetting the surface pressure( on my ostc for the moment 315mbar normally between 1000 en 1100mbar) and temp.(my ostc 66,3?C , my home temperature is 20?C), by installing the 1.26beta but that didn't change anything ...

To Matthias :
I'll try it again this evening the only thing I haven't done yet is install the 1.26 beta version(I've allready tried the "reset with the interface" and the "reset all" function in the OSTC itself but that didn't change anything)
If all the above won't help can I ship the computer ...

:( Hello, can somebody tell me what to do with my newbought OSTC?)
After reading the manual, I wanted to try a simulated dive to 30m to see which no deco times i would get... but halfway the dive(while using divelog) my PC shutted down and my OSTC went to 94 m and couldn't do anything with it ...

Hi guys,
I've heard about the OSTC, and I'm interested in getting one, but someone told me you can also get them to run with decocheck is that true? and how do you get decocheck on the OSTC?
