temperature menu

Post by JMB »

Hi,
I own one ostc2N since june 2011 ( OSTC 2375 V2.00 french) and I never had problem during all the 30 dives done since I used it. Last week I looked at the batterie menu (it was the first time) and I saw that the Tmax was 84,1 degre the 25 september 2011 (the min one 14,5 °). The day indicated was a day I dived but the weather was very bad ( ;-))) )and I don't understand how it can reach such a temperature. The ostc2n has no problem all seems to be good but I want to know if it could be a problem later.
Thanks Jean-Michel

Hi Jean-Michel,

84,1°C max. temp is not normal and most likely a false reading or non-initialized value. Unfortunately we can only reset this at our place, so a) you live with this value or b) get in contact with us for a reset: info@heinrichsweikamp.com

Sorry for the trouble...

regards,
Matthias

Having the same issue here:
Tmin: -63.3C (30.6.11)
Tmax: 95.0C (10.7.11)

I did not do any dives on 30.6.11 most likely, but one at 10.7.11.

HTH,
Jan

I just recognized a high temperature shown by my unit - several degrees more than ambient temperature, falling slowly. Some minutes ago I did a longer dive simulation using JDiveLog to 120m+ which run quite a long time (bug in JDiveLog not being able to end a dive simulation on the OSTC). I'm off now but maybe someone can try to reproduce this!? Please also have a look to the temperature while in dive mode...

Just an idea,
Jan

Doing another simulation running firmware 2.07 the temperature is raising constantly about 1 degree ever 4 minutes.

Could this be a reason for very high temperatures? Maybe the unit has been under very heavy load for some time?

Is there a treshold defined in the source code to shut down the unit at specific temperatures to avoid damage to the unit?

Might also be an issue with updating the firmware and some processes running afterwards as the temperature is still raising after the simulation is finished (about 10 degrees more than ambient as of now). At this moment I see the "Building MD2 Hash" message. Is it recommended to wait some time before diving after upgrading the firmware?

Normal, this is waste heat from the charging circuity which is quite close to the sensor in the Mk.2 (Changed in the 2N).

Of course not.

What is the status with this issue? Seems the current firmware changed something.

Currently the max. temp shown by my unit is 5.8 degrees with a date from the end of January. This is wrong. The min temperature shows -60something, also wrong.

Mine is still right with FW 2.21: 3.2° a few days ago and 38.7° last summer which should also be ok.

Firmware 2.21. Battery Information zeigte:

Tmin:-69,5° — 09.11.11 Temperatur ist falsch.
Tmax: 30,7° — 15.07.11 in Ordnung.

Salut Felini,

Hast du mal einen komplett Reset des OSTC gemacht?
Cheers,

Hi,

ich hab hier ein ähnliches Phänomen mit Firmware 2.20

TemperatureExtremaMinimum : 65479
TemperatureExtremaMinimumDate : 11.02.2012
TemperatureExtremaMaximum : 858
TemperatureExtremaMaximumDate : 25.09.2011
Temp. extr Min. : ( 55) C7 FF 65479
Temp. extrema Max : ( 60) 5A 03 858

Am 25.9. War ich in Egypt. Aber 85 Grad hat es da auch nicht gehabt.

Und das Minimum am 11.2. erscheint mir mit 6547,9 Grad auch einen Tick zu hoch.
An dem Tag war ich bei -14Grad am Walchensee.
Nachtrag: Ich hab hier einen Umrechnungsfehler gemacht es sind -5,7 Grad das passt eher.

Grüße
Rob

HAllo nochmal,

ich habe jetzt den fehlerhaften Wert auf einen realistischeren Wert gesetzt.

@Heinrichsweikamp
Was kann beim oder nach dem Zurücksetzen dieses Wertes passieren?

Viele Grüße
Rob

Hi there,

i've set the wrong temperature to a more realistic vlaue.

@Heinrichsweikamp
What can happen after the reset of this Value?

best regards

Robert,

Wie hast du den Wert zurückgesetzt?
How did you reset the value?

Hallo Hansjoerg,

ich habe das mit einer modifizierten Version meines Programms gemacht.

Hmm, wusste ich doch, dass ich das noch irgendwo gelesen habe...

Ich habe das Temperaturproblem jetzt auch, Min Temp am 31.03.12 -22,7°! Da ich da in Indonesien war und Niedrigstenfalls eine T von +25° hatte, muss da irgendwo ein Fehler sein.

Meiner zeigt -1.1°C am 01.02.12. Das scheint einigermassen realistisch. Dumm nur, dass ich zu dem Zeitpunkt gar nicht im Wasser war und demzufolge der Computer zuhause gelegen hat... :)

Servus Tiefunten,

hast du den Wert von "vor deinem Urlaub" noch?
Evtl hast du mit den OSTC Tools (OSTCConfig oder OSTCDump) ein Setting gespeichert, dann steht da der alte Wert noch drin.

Dann schalte ich die Option zum zurücksetzen der "nicht änderbaren Werte" in den OSTC Tools frei.
Ich schau das ich es bis morgen Abend noch fertig mache.

Grüße
Rob

Hi tiefunten,

do you still have the old, correct, value?
Or maybe you've saved a settings file using the OSTC Tools (OSTCConfig oder OSTC Dump) before your hollidays, there you can find the old value.

Tomorrow evening (hopefully) i enable the option for setting the "unsetable" values.

Regards
rob

Hi Robert,

ich hatte meinen alten Wert (3,2°) oben geposted, gespeichert als Dump-File oder etwas in der Richtung habe ich nicht. Vom Prinzip her ist mir der fehlerhafte Eintrag auch relativ egal, ich wollte nur den Fehler melden, da ich eine so fehlerhafte Speicherung von Temperaturwerten für ziemlich sinnlos halte.
Wo kommt man denn an deine Programme? Auf deiner Homepage habe ich sie nicht gefunden...

Grüße,

Jörn

Hallo Jörn,

so, ich hab eine schnelle Website erstellt auf der die neueste Version Beta4 downloadbar ist.
Damit kannst du den falschen Wert auf einen beliebigen anderen Wert setzen.

Aber sichere vorher deine Daten und Einstellungen! Ich hab es zwar getestet, aber die Software ist noch Beta!

http://www.angermayr.net/download/ostctools.htm

Grüße
Rob

Hi there,

done, i've created an Website where you can download the latest version of the OSTC Tools, Beta4.
With this Version you can correct the wrong temperature values.

But first save your Settings and Data! I've tested the Software, but its still Beta!

Your can find the software here.
The OSTCTools are in English but the Website is in German ... sorry for that.
