Hi tbs

1. What Operating system? Mac / Winxp / Win7
2. Have you read this forum entry:
OSTC unable to connect
and this
No connection between my Mac os und jdivelog

You should find plenty of information in the forum on how to connect the OSTC to Mac of Win OS. Also with DivingLog.

My guess is: You have to install the "Virtual Com Port" VCP first:

Scroll down to the table and choose the file according to your OS. After installation you should find the comport...

As scubatinoo says, have you installed virtual com port driver. Without that you cannot make any firmware updates or connect to Logbook software.

What do you mean with cannot finde the com port in jdivelog?
a. you don't know where to configure it
b. the com port in jdive log that is available does not work?

Have you tried DivingLog?

What language do you speak?

Hi ..

I have now downloaded the "Virtual Com Port" driver, it did not help me find 2N in JDiveLog ....
I have also tried DivingLog5.0 ther I had no trouble finding 2N .....
I speak Danish .....

Have you re-installed jDivelog?

You have to configure the OSTC in jDivelog like this:

I am a very happy user of a 2N (no. 3050) having done 35 dives with it so far. I have been using a VR3 and as I get older I find the display of the OSTC much easier to read under all conditions. I especially like the way the owner can tailor the saturation/desaturation process so easily and with great clarity, once the theory of tissue compartments and gradient factors are understood.

I have several questions regarding the various custom functions and their values/units.

1. I am confused as to the difference in the effect of CF00 and CF06. It appears that they both attempt to achieve the same purpose but CF00 uses a pressure interpreted as a depth (metres) and CF06 uses a pressure in mbar. Surely, after jumping in the water and descending the OSTC will switch from sleep mode to dive mode through the shallowest (lowest pressure) of the two CF00 and CF06? Does this mean that one of these is redundant?

2. The next question is regarding CF14 and CF45. Both CFs relate to the change in status of the level of GF during a dive, since once the dive is over and you are back on the boat or beach/shore you are outgassing. If they don't refer to the same change of GF how are they different? If they both refer to the same change is one of them redundant?

3. Would it not be easier to understand and set if the units of CF43 (DepthWarn) was in metres rather than mbar? I know that once set it is probably never changed and possibly few OSTC users ever think about setting a depth warning but since it is there I feel that if the units used by CF43 were metres it would be easier to use.

Thank you in advance for clarifying these points and for producing such a competent dive computer.

Please disregard the above posting in this thread. I should have started an new thread.

thanks laurie

Hi ....

swissdiving, nice screenshot, it look like my screen, but on my screen Com Port saying: com8 (RXTX-2,1) and it is com8 in DivingLog 5.0 and in OSTCPlanner, they work both fine, but JDiveLog can not find 2N .....
I've re-installed JDiveLog ....

Well, tomorrow 2N is going to make the first dive

TBS

Which protocol version r u using? This has to match the SW version installednon the 2N.

swissdiving ..

I have protocol version on auto ...
There is not anyone in the protocol version called OSTC 2N, there are only OSTC and mk2 ..

Mojn

O == II ===> OSTC 2N 3564 <===== II == O

U have to choose mk2, not auto. If u have firmware 1.9 or higher u need to choose whats in the print screen.
Whats relevant is the FW version.

Hi swissdiving ..

Many thanks for your help, now it works:)
