The download function of Dive Log Manager/Dive Log DT allows you to download information from dive computers from a select number of dive computer manufacturers. Under this Download panel, select the brand of dive computer you want to download.
Once the download has finished, the list of dives found on the dive computer will be shown in the top window. In that window, select one or all of the dives you want to now import into your logbook. Enter a new starting dive number to add them to the end of your logbook, or enter an existing dive number (or click on a dive in the bottom window) to merge your downloaded dive computer information into the dive you have already entered.
Sometimes your dive computer registers 2 dives (or more) when you spend "too much" time on the surface
in the middle of it. You want these 2 dives to be really 1 dive for logbook purposes. There are two
ways to handle this with Dive Log Manager:
1) Import both of the dives into your logbook so that you have eg: Dive# 100 and Dive# 101. Go to the Dives
panel and then the Detail tab and into Editing Mode. Change the dive number for Dive#101 to 100. So
now you have 2 dive number 100's. This way, all the information from your dive computer is preserved.
2) Import both of the dives into your logbook so that you have eg: Dive# 100 and Dive# 101. Go to the Dives
panel and select Dive# 100 so that it is showing. Now bring up the menu (Right click or Control click)
on the dive in the lower window and select the menu item "Merge Following". After answering all the popup's,
the dive computer information from Dive# 100 will be merged into the dive computer
information from Dive# 101 and the original Dive# 100 will be deleted. This is how you can merge
two dive computer profiles together into one.
Atomic - Cobalt
Your Cobalt came with a USB/Charger Adapter and a USB cable. Plug the USB side of the Adapter into the terminal socket on the back of the Cobalt, plug the mini end of the USB cable into the Adapter, and then plug the other end into a USB port on your Mac. Navigate the Cobalt's main menu into Settings and then to System Information. Select USB and then press the Select button again to enable USB Communication. Once your Cobalt has been enabled for USB, the "Download" button will become enabled. Click it and Dive Log Manager will start downloading dives stored on the Cobalt. Once finished, the list of dives stored on the dive computer will show in the upper window. This list of dives will remain until another download is started so you may import dives in multiple stages if you wish. They will not remain after quitting Dive Log Manager.
UWatec - Galileo Sol, Galileo Luna, Galileo Terra, Aladin 2G, Aladin One, Aladin Prime,
Aladin Tec, Aladin Tec 2G, SmartCom, SmartPro, Smart Z
REQUIRES:
ScubaPro USB IrDA Adaptor shown here.
(The ScubaPro USB IrDA dongle is REQUIRED to be able to download these
computers. There is no need to install any drivers)
Once you insert the ScubaPro/UWatec USB IrDA adaptor into a USB port on your Mac, the "Download" button will become enabled. Turn on your dive computer and place it's IrDA port about 3 to 6 inches or 7 to 15 centimeters away from the IrDA port on the adaptor. Make sure that the dive computer is supported in such a way that it won't move (very much) while downloading. Then click the "Download" button to start the transfer process. Dive Log Manager will show a progress bar while the dive computer is being downloaded. Do not move the dive computer until the download has finished. This list of dives will remain until another download is started so you may import dives in multiple stages if you wish. They will not remain after quitting Dive Log Manager.
Some of the UWatec dive computers, such as the Galileo series, have large amounts of memory in them in order to store large amounts of dive information. It make take Dive Log Manager up to 10 minutes to download all of the memory, so you may need to be patient.
Some of the UWatec dive computers, such as the Smart series, can sometimes get "lost" in the middle of a transfer and become unresponsive. If you do not see the progress bar making any progress for 20 to 30 seconds, the dive computer may be stuck. If this happens, you can click the cancel button and then click the download button again to re-start the transfer. Optionally, you can restart the dive computer as well, but this is not always necessary.
Other USB IrDA Adaptors may work with Dive Log Manager if they use the same chipset(s) as the official ScubaPro/UWatec one, but we are not able to support all makes and models of adaptors. If you already own one, you can try it out. If you are thinking of buying a different, less expensive adaptor, try to find out the chipset it contains first, and contact us with that information.
