A small reminder for customizing:
Custom text can contain up to 22 characters on OSTC 2C,and 23 characters on Mk2 and 2N.
I guess this is due to new display in 2C.

If you exceed the character count,nothing is shown.

So,not having time for couple of weeks to visit here,and i see the discussion is still going on.
And it is getting interesting,big THUMBS UP for JeanDo.
Tinoo,now we are getting to the idea of this forum,discussing deco theory and NOT what color should be this or that,why would you end this topic ...

In the surface mode are 4 pages,so that would make 5 presses necessary."diving" into menu takes Left(Menu) and 2x Right buttons.What would be the purpose of adding a page in standby that requires more pushes of buttons than what's there already?
Regarding the profile screen:the seven pixels space ...

Cheers,

going back to 2.25 for now.That did the trick,thank you.

Matthias,lightning fast answer!


Either the magnet is not strong enough or ...I hope not!
Where do i find strong magnet in Egypt remains a question...

Update showed success in JDivelog,usually there's slight delay before the screen comes up on 2N,or press of any button does it.Not this time ...

Hi,

anybody tried it yet?
My 2N is not responding after firmware update.
Done through JDivelog,everything went fine,confirmation dialog notified of successful writing of firmware.Since then half an hour passed,computer remains unresponsive with black screen.
(Yesterday I updated Seawooch to v2.25 ...

@ caron_wong
I gues that is the case with moving the cable in the connector.
Right on!
Followed your advice and now it connects immediately.
Hopefuly it helps @Iguane too.

Cheers,

Richard

Yes,we can turn the OSTC ...

Well guys,this subject is getting ridiculous already.

If we are to follow "market's leaders" recommendations for a safety stop,why not start from the very beginning?I mean from the Medical statement that every diver answers and signs before becoming a diver :-).
Clearly,someone that doesn't ...

Recently I couldn't resist the temptation and installed Windows8 on spare partition,FTDI drivers installed manually.OSTC does connect,just it sometimes takes 20 min.to create COM port in device manager,and the usb cable doesn't matter(supposing it's not damaged or bad quality),the connection appears ...

Hi guys,

mine was at max with 74 dives on 1.9x.

Regards,
Richard

Yep.

Should have looked in the forum on 31st. On that day after very shallow dive for 37min or so the computer did exactly the same.20min 'wait...'then unbelievable profile,on mine the 'deco green'goes all the way to the top of the screen,temp and depth similar graph as yours.
I didn't really ...

@ Hallgeir:

my comment was about the starting post.

But I agree with you,without o2 makes no sense to have last stop set @6m as default,save for one reason:

it is a bit of a trap to make sure one knows what one is doing.

and with the possibility to change so many custom functions user should ...

Halooo ;)
Maybe it's about time to ban uselessly configured DIVERS from buying OSTC.
Any computer will just apply algorithm to the data it recieves(depth and time) based on settings,more mainstream ones will go to error mode if reasonable limits are exceeded.OSTC will simply update the info on ...

Update:

During the first dive computer remained in standby screen with red led continuously on,after 20 minutes suddenly in dive mode and everything working.Post-dive same problem with the logbook,took more than 15 minutes to read,then same for reading the last entry(displayed correctly though ...

Matthias,

after update through JDiveLog from 2.0 to 2.03 beta everything was excellent.CF56 and CF57 needed to be adjusted as expected,simulation running ok.But opening logbook made me look for this:



And 2.03 beta seems not to read anything in the logbook that was dived on 2.0,after 12 minutes ...

@ nakatomi:

going to the water,will try air @ 40m to see if your simulator issue will happen there,my GF 10/70.
Cheers,will post later

OSTC Mk.2 385

Update: in real diving all no stop time went o.k.,after zeroing it went to deco mode without hang,starting with 1min@9m.

Hi Matthias,

On my OSTC there is strange temperature reading after upgrading to 1.94.
In Battery info Tmax 88.1* (20.07.11)appeared .What could have caused this change?Before the upgrade Tmax was half of the one displayed now.On 20.07. done 2 dives,there the temp is in 27-29* range,and although it ...

>In the OSTC 1bar pressure increase equals 10m depth if salinity is set to 1.00kg/l<

I recall from my training(long ago,with depth gauge on a console) and so I pass on to my students now that 1bar pressure change equals 10m depth change in salt water,in fresh water is widely accepted 10.3m depth ...

The protocol version is OSTC Mk.2 Version 1.91-X,it is on the very bottom of the dropbox.

Glad to help,
Richard

Sorry for typo,of course protocol,not firmware.
It's kinda late.

OSTC MK2 385

@ Solodiver:

I found the same behaviour,the last 3 dives didn't get imported.after a couple of attempts I tried to do the obvious and looked at the settings.Simply changing in Settings>Divecomputer>Firmware to OSTC Mk2 1.9x- everything worked as supposed.Well,the dives are being imported,although ...

What I mean is TTS is not recalculated when gas is changed.Of course it counts down.

Same thing happens here,after planned switch to O2 at 6m that i didn't do there is red stop at 21m/1min displayed.I tried switching to O2 then back to Nx50,same warning appears.That alone wouldn't bother me,I see problem elsewhere:TTS doesn't change (!) regardless of gas selected.If that happens in ...
