Subsurface 3.0 User Manual
First try at converting user-manual to AsciiDoc
You can do "make doc" in the main directory to create the html version,
and if you want to play around with it, do "make show" in the
Documentation subdirectory to start firefox on the end result.
It's by no means perfect, but it gives somewhat reasonable results, and
this is enough initial work for people to play around with, I think.
NOTE! You need "asciidoc" installed to do this: it's a python program,
so it should be pretty easy even on non-Linux platforms. And on Linux,
most distributions package it, so you just have to do something like
yum install asciidoc
to get it (replace with apt-get/zypper/whatever).
Asciidoc can generate other output too (man-pages, LaTeX, etc), maybe
people want to play with that part too.

2011-12-12 20:03:04 +00:00
2013-02-16 23:31:07 +00:00
Subsurface is an open source divelog program that runs on Windows, Mac
2013-02-17 05:50:52 +00:00
and Linux. It was started because of a lack of viable divelog
2013-02-16 23:31:07 +00:00
software on Linux. It then turned out that the resulting software was
fairly easily ported to Windows and Mac and today great effort is put
into making it a viable application on all three platforms.
2011-12-12 20:03:04 +00:00
2013-02-16 23:31:07 +00:00
The program is under active development and at version 3.0 it compares
favorably to many other programs in this market.
While the list of supported dive computers is very long, in this
manual the Suunto Vyper will be used for all examples.

Requirements
------------
2011-12-12 20:18:32 +00:00
2013-02-18 04:55:27 +00:00
Before you are able to import information from your dive computer into
2011-12-12 20:18:32 +00:00
Subsurface, you need some preparation. Do you have the following:
2011-12-12 20:03:04 +00:00
2013-02-18 04:55:27 +00:00
1. Your Dive Computer - compatible with libdivecomputer (see list in <<AppendixA,Appendix A>>)
2. Communication interface - usually that means a cable to connect your dive computer to your PC/Laptop/Netbook; some dive computers use IRDA or Bluetooth as well
2011-12-12 20:18:32 +00:00
3. Working installation of Subsurface
2013-02-18 04:55:27 +00:00
4. If needed, the manual of your dive computer
2011-12-12 20:18:32 +00:00
2013-02-17 05:50:52 +00:00
Alternatively you can import your divelogs from a couple of other
divelog applications (JDivelog, MacDive, Suunto Dive Manager). However,
2013-02-17 05:50:52 +00:00
native download from dive computer directly to Subsurface is
recommended.

2011-12-12 20:03:04 +00:00
2011-12-12 20:18:32 +00:00
When you start the program for the first time, it shows no information
2013-02-16 17:54:09 +00:00
at all. This is because the program doesn't have any information available.
If you have used the program before and saved the data, the program will
2013-02-17 05:50:52 +00:00
automatically load the already available divelog files.
2011-12-12 20:03:04 +00:00
2013-02-16 17:54:09 +00:00
There is a menu, containing 'File', 'Log', 'Filter', 'Planner' and 'Help'.

Before you start fiddling around with your dive computer, note that
there are dive computers that consume more power when they are in the

if your computer is recharging when connecting to the USB port. The

Import new dives from a Uemis Zurich
------------------------------------
Things are very similar when downloading dives from a Uemis Zurich
2013-02-18 04:55:27 +00:00
dive computer (which certainly is one of the ones that DO recharge when
2012-10-23 03:53:04 +00:00
connected to the USB port). The main difference is that you don't enter a
device name, but instead the location where the UEMISSDA file system is
2013-02-18 04:55:27 +00:00
mounted once you connect the dive computer.
2012-10-23 03:53:04 +00:00
On Windows this is a drive letter (often 'E:' or 'F:'), on a Mac this is
'/Volumes/UEMISSDA' and on Linux systems this differs depending on the
distribution that you use. On Fedora it usually is
2013-02-17 06:21:47 +00:00
'/var/run/media/<your_username>/UEMISSDA'. In all cases Subsurface
should suggest the correct location in the drop down list.
So once you have selected this as device name you can download the
dives from the Uemis Zurich. One technical issue with the Uemis Zurich
download implementation (this is a firmware limitation, not a
Subsurface issue) is that you cannot download more than about 40-50
dives without running out of memory on the SDA. This will usually only
happen the very first time you download dives from the Uemis Zurich -
normally when downloading at the end of a day or even after a dive
trip, the capacity is sufficient. If Subsurface displays and error
2013-02-18 04:55:27 +00:00
that the dive computer ran out of space the solution is straight
2013-02-17 06:21:47 +00:00
forward. Disconnect the SDA, turn it off and on again, and reconnect
it. You can now retry (or start a new download session) and the
download will continue where it stopped the last time you tried. You
may have to do this more than once, depending on how many dives you
2013-02-18 04:55:27 +00:00
have stored on your dive computer.
2013-02-17 06:21:47 +00:00
At this point Subsurface downloads most of the information that is
stored on the SDA, including information about dive spots and
equipment. Buddy information is not yet downloaded.

First try at converting user-manual to AsciiDoc
You can do "make doc" in the main directory to create the html version,
and if you want to play around with it, do "make show" in the
Documentation subdirectory to start firefox on the end result.
It's by no means perfect, but it gives somewhat reasonable results, and
this is enough initial work for people to play around with, I think.
NOTE! You need "asciidoc" installed to do this: it's a python program,
so it should be pretty easy even on non-Linux platforms. And on Linux,
most distributions package it, so you just have to do something like
yum install asciidoc
to get it (replace with apt-get/zypper/whatever).
Asciidoc can generate other output too (man-pages, LaTeX, etc), maybe
people want to play with that part too.

Importing divelogs from other software
--------------------------------------
Subsurface will import divelogs from a couple of other log software. We
support currently XML exports from DivingLog as well as Suunto
DiveManager. Native format of JDivelog and MacDive are imported as well.
When importing dives subsurface tries to detect multiple records for
the same dive and merges the information as best as it can. So as long
as there are no time zone issues (or other reasons that would cause the
beginning time of the dives to be substantially different) subsurface
will not create duplicate entries.

[[S_ImportingMacDive]]
Importing dives from MacDive
----------------------------
Importing logs from MacDive is as easy as it gets. Do the following
steps in Subsurface:
- Open the following menu 'File - Import XML Files(s)'
- Browse your directories to the location where your MacDive logs are
stored
- Select the log file(s) you want to import and click 'open'
- Click the OK button in the popup
After a few moments, you see your existing logs in Subsurface. Now you can
edit your dives like explained in <<S_EditDiveInfo, chapter 6>>.
We currently attempt to import all the relevant dive information
excluding the used equipment and diver name.
It is also possible to do the importing from command line just like with
JDivelog (see <<S_ImportingDivesJDivelog>>):
subsurface MyDives.xml --import MacDiveDives.xml

[[S_DivePlanning]]
Planning dives
--------------
Subsurface supports planning of dives using open and closed circuit
equipment. Deco calculations with optionally displaying the ceiling is
done using a new implementation of Bühlmann ZH16 algorithm with
gradient factors. Since the planner and our implementation of
decompression algorithms are new and have received only a limited amount
of testing - WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT TO PLAN DIVES SIMPLY BASED ON THE
RESULTS GIVEN HERE.
Basic information that is to be inserted when planning a dive is the
planned start time of the dive, air consumption and planned depths and
segment times. There is also other information available for those who
are familiar with dive planning or use closed circuit rebrethers.
[width="70%",cols="<5%,20%,<75%",grid="none",frame="none",style="monospaced"]
|===============================================================================
|| Dive starts | +60:00 means that the dive is 60 minutes in the future
|| Surface Pressure | Air pressure on surface, default 1013 should suffice for most
|| SAC during dive | Air consumption during the dive, use conservative value based on your own air consumption e.g. 20l/min
|| SAC during decostop | Air consumption during decompression stop, e.g. 17 l/min
|| GFlow | Gradient factor low value affects the ceiling calculation, leave to default if you are not familiar with GF
|| GFhigh | Gradient factor high value affects the ceiling calculation, leave to default if you are not familiar GF
|| **Ending Depth** | Depth where current segment ends, can be used for ascending, descending and level
|| **Segment Time** | +3 min is relative time from segment start, 7 is an absolute time from the start of the dive
|| **Gas Used** | Mix used; AIR, EAN32, 15/50 (compressed air, 32% nitrox, and trimix)
|| **CC SetPoint** | ***FIX*** This has something to do with rebrethers so better leave empty if you are like me
|===============================================================================
Information marked with bold is used multiple times to do the actual
planning of the dive. So let's plan a dive to 20 meters lasting 20
minutes at that depth and another 10 minutes in 10 meters. We'll only
concentrate on the dive profile here filling the segments.
[width="30%",cols="<15%,10%,<15%,<60%",grid="none",frame="none",style="monospaced"]
|===============================================================================
|| 20 | +3 | AIR
|| 20 | +20 |
|| 10 | +1:30 |
|| 10 | +10 |
|===============================================================================
So we define the ending depth for the first segment to be 20 meters
(assuming metric preferences, you can also define the depth explicitly
to m or ft). We will take it easy and descent takes 3 minutes from
surface to the planned depth. Then we spend 20 minutes in same level
using same air as before (used gas is left empty).
Ascent to 10 meters will take one and half minutes that is slower than
the fastest recommendation. However, as you can see in Subsurface's
calculations it is still marked with yellow, meaning somewhat
conservative speed (green would be conservative and red on the fast
side). After the defined 10 minutes at even depth of 10 meters we let
Subsurface calculate how we will surface. If decompression is required
these stops are taken into account and can be easily visualised by
setting the first depth to e.g. 30 meters.
Pre-populated segments can be left empty and new segments can be added
by clicking the 'Add waypoint'. Note that if you go to edit previous
segments, the later segments values are not properly included in the
calculation until they get a focus out event or 'OK' is clicked.

[[S_Webservice]]
Web Service and Companion App
-----------------------------
This part of Subsurface is a bit of 'work in progress'. We are
developing a companion application for Android that will allow you to
track dive sites from your GPS-enabled Android device; at the time of
the Subsurface 3.0 release the app wasn't ready to be submitted to the
Google Play store, but since it is mostly usable when built form
source we left the server side integration in Subsurface.
Assuming you have used the companion app to name and locate dive sites
you can use this menu item to connect to our backend server and
download this data. Enter your userid (you got this when registering
with the web service) and click 'Download'. If the data was
successfully downloaded you can click apply and Subsurface will match
the time stamps of the downloaded location and site name information
with the dives in your log and will add the GPS locations and dive
site names to your dives.

Appendix B: Mac OSX Driver Installation
2013-02-07 08:33:59 +00:00
---------------------------------------
Working out which driver to use for a Mac requires for a particular dive computer can
require some experimentation. The libdivecomputer website provides a useful point from
which to start: http://www.divesoftware.org/libdc/drivers.html. It lists a number of
2013-02-17 06:39:21 +00:00
sites for manufacturers of the serial to USB chips which provide the necessary conversions.
2013-02-07 08:33:59 +00:00
Here you have two alternatives. Either you try each of the major drivers in turn until
you find the right one, or you follow some further steps to try and identify the right
driver up front. To determine the required driver up front, first attach the usd to device
connector cable. Next open a terminal window and run the command:
system_profiler SPUSBDataType > usb.txt
you should end up with a file (usb.txt in this example) which contains the VID/PID information
2013-02-17 06:39:21 +00:00
which can then be used with the URL above to narrow the field. Just open the text file and
2013-02-07 08:33:59 +00:00
compare the information with the table in the drivers section of the web page. This should
point you to the relevant driver manufacturer. Typically, one then needs to navigate to the
relevant sub page for "drivers" and then the one for "VCP drivers." VCP stands for Virtual
Com Port. You want VCP rather than D2XX drivers, for example. Make sure to download the correct
version for your particular version of OS X.
These can be downloaded to the Mac and installed in the usual way. Details on how to
install on OS X 10.8 differ from earlier versions due to the new security functions.
Put simply, unless the driver has been digitally signed in an approved way OS X will
block the installation. You can either make some changes to your system security settings
or manually override the block. The latter seems more sensible and only involves
control-clicking the installation package and answering some standard dialogs. The sequence
goes like this:
- download the driver .dmg package to your downloads folder
- right click the downloads folder an navigate to the new dmg package
- control-click the package: a dialog will open stating that the package has not been signed
and is from an unknown developer and asking whether you really want to proceed
- if happy, you accept the dialog and the package opens and may show you one or more versions
- select the relevant version, click the package installer and that should be it.
You can find a high-level explanation of the new security features from apple here:
https://www.apple.com/osx/what-is/security.html.
Until you have the correct driver installed, subsurface will not connect to your dive
computer. If you try one VCP driver and it still doesn't work, try the next manufacturer
until it does. If you run out of drivers and still can't get things working perhaps
it is time to contact us via the subsurface mail lists.
