Re: simulation

Hello Robert,

"12-xxx" is one of the latest batch, it's fine.

Yes, there are several projects we're in contact with. As soon as any is ready we'll publish is here. We are also thinking of an alternative right now.

regards,
Matthias

Re: Probleme nach der Tauchgangssimulation

Hallo, Das Verhalten ist zwar nicht direkt ein Bug aber das haben wir schon auf der To-Do Liste. Hintergrund ist, das der Simulator relativ einfach implementiert ist, an der Schnittstelle eingehende Bytes werden im Simulatormodus als Tiefenangabe interpretiert.

Re: O2 Board Questions

Hello,

No, all HUD-related settings are only set by the OSTC (The settings are stored in the board permanently and transferred from the OSTC in the O2 Sensor Setup menu).

Re: O2 Board Questions

Hello, It a bit more complex: When using high efficiency LEDs with additional series resistors it's fine with OSTC powered operation but the start-up delay can be about 20 seconds for the board (Then it's important to activate the OSTC before the dive manually). When using normal LEDs or no extra se...

Re: (stupid question?)just a thought...

Technically, the O2 board can be connected to both versions of the OSTC easily but if you consider the costs for the board, Fischer connector and the O2 cell a dedicated O2 meter is probably cheaper.

No worries about a battery, there is no battery on the O2 board even if some parts look like that.

Re: HELP computer in surface-error after a simulated dive

Hello, After resetting the OSTC (With the interface) it will re-read the calibration from the sensor and you should see fine readings. Can't tell what you did but you can not damage the unit with a simulation. Also try a "reset all" from the interface and/or install the 1.26 beta version. ...

Re: Effects of cold water to battery?

Hi,

Since we do not draw much current from the battery (only 1/10 of the specified max. current) I do not expect a significant drop of ON-time with a fully charged battery. Make sure the unit is stored in warm conditions (Do not leave it in the car overnight, for example!).

While the NDL can be higher then 160minutes the OSTC stops calculations for NDL>160minutes (Very shallow waters). Other computers disp...

Re: A lot of questions

I have simulated some dives just yesterday and it worked as it should. Maybe you start with gas1 and set the deco gas to gas2 (That's what I did). Maybe there is still a bug in the decogas routine. I doubt that this is related to a hardware problem.
