Re: Custom Text
You need to switch on the OSTC.
Which program did u download? The com ports can sometimes be tricky. Let us know what error message you get, if any.

Re: Custom Text
Ich bekomme mit der Suche oft keine Treffer, obwohl ich genau weiß, dass ein Thread schon existiert - weiß nicht, ob das an mangelnder Gewöhnung meinerseits oder eher an einem Programmfehler liegt!? Nur weil hier angesprochen wurde, bitte doch die Suchfunktion zu nutzen...

Re: Custom Text
...ist mir auch schon so gegangen.
Zwei Punkte zur Suche:
1. Nur ein Wort eingeben, sobald man mehr als ein Wort eingibt funktionierts nicht richtig. Auch wenn man Any Words oder All Words auswählt.
2. Die Zeitdauer auf welche die Forumeinträge durchsucht werden sollen.
Standardmässig ist leider 30 Tage eingetragen.
Also gibt man z.B "custom" als Suchwort ein und wählt "All Dates" so findet man alle Einträge zu Custom Text und leider auch mehr aber wenigstens sind so die relevanten Forumeinträge offensichtlicher.
Ich bin einverstanden mit dir tiefunen, da besteht sicher optimierugspotential

You need to turn on the the OSTC to download the settings of the OSTC. And of course the OSTC needs to be turned on when uploading the settings.

Re: Custom Text
No no.
To download dives or settings and then upload them to the 2N you need divinglog or jdivelog.
What u r probably talking about is upgrading the firmware. Thats a completely kettle of fish.
Make sure u installed version 5.0.5 of diving log
1. Plug in the 2N to the computer with the usb cable
2. Start divinglog
3. Turn on the 2N
Then follow the instructions in the link from the previous post

Re: Custom Text
Alright guys and gals,
I've recorded the steps on how to configure the custom text of the OSTC with DivingLog. You can download the file here:
Configuring the OSTC Custom Text with DivingLog
All you need to do is to plug in the OSTC to the computer start DivingLog and start the OSTC and then follow the steps in the documents described.
CORRECTION:
Of course a USB driver has to be installed.
It can be found here
VCP USB driver
