*How to UNDO information that has been typed.* While editing a dive log one frequently
|
||||||
|
overtypes existing information. Sometimes this is unintended. Let's say, for the moment,
|
||||||
|
the time of your dive computer was set wrongly and the dive time in the
|
||||||
|
*Notes* tab is therefore incorrect. You wish to correct the time indicated in the *Notes* tab
|
||||||
|
to reflect the true dive time. The example in the images below reflect a small part
|
||||||
|
of the *Notes* tab where the dive time was changed from
|
||||||
|
8:44 (image a) to 7:44 (image b). Now, for some reason, you wish to return
|
||||||
|
to the initial time (08:44). Click on the _Edit_ heading in the main menu and
|
||||||
|
an option appears to undo the change in time (image c). Select this undo option
|
||||||
|
and the time is again shown as 8:44. Having undone the change, a new option appears under
|
||||||
|
the _Edit_ heading: Redo the change (image d). If this option is selected, the change in
|
||||||
|
time is redone. The undo facility applies to the majority of information typed into the text
|
||||||
|
areas of _Subsurface_ and facilitates easy and accurate data entry. Even changes to multiple
|
||||||
|
dives can be undone.

[NOTE]
|
||||||
|
The text box *Atm. pressure* allows one to specify
|
||||||
|
the altitude or the atmospheric pressure of the dive site while diving. If this text box
|
||||||
|
contains a value, dive calculations take into account altitude. The dropbox on the
|
||||||
|
right allows two ways of expressing atmospheric pressure: mbar or m/ft above sea level.
|
||||||
|
The altitude unit (metric/imperial) is taken from the settings in the *Preferences* screen. A
|
||||||
|
third option is to use the atmospheric pressure provided by the dive computer. In order to specify
|
||||||
|
the pressure/altitude, first select the approriate unit (in the case of the image on the left
|
||||||
|
these are "mbar/m/use dc", then type an appropriate value into the text box. In the case
|
||||||
|
of m/ft the altitude typed into the text box is automatically converted to the
|
||||||
|
mean expected atmospheric pressure (mbar) at the specified altitude.
|
||||||
|
In the case of "use dc", no value is required in the text box. Atmospheric pressure provided by a dive
|
||||||
|
computer does not need any editing.
