Edit Events and Gas Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Depending on your dive computer and the specific dive that you are
looking at, a number of events may be indicated by small yellow
triangles within the dive profile. Hovering the mouse pointer over
such an event will show a short explanation of the event in the
tooltip window. On some dive computers few or no events are shows,
other dive computers create these events rather agressively. At times
you may want to remove some of these events, either because they were
created in error (an accidental 'marker' or 'bookmark' set during a
dive) or because the information provided is not useful to you.
You can either do this by filtering out these events (as explained in
the <<S_FilterMenu, Filter Menu section>>), or by outright deleting
these events from the XML file. In order to do that, point at the
event-triangle with your mouse (it is actually sufficient to have the
mouse point at the point in time when the event happened) and
right-click. A context menu will allow you to remove the event from
the dive.
In the same way (by picking the correct time with the mouse pointer),
certain events can be added to a dive profile from the right-click
context menu. At this point only 'bookmark' events and 'gas change'
events can be added. The latter ones are especially useful when diving
with multiple tanks but with a dive computer that only supports one
gas, or when forgetting to switch the dive computer to a different
tank during the dive.
Please note that the gas that you want to switch to must have already
been added to the Equipment list before it can be used here. See the
<<S_EditEquipmentInfo, previous section on Editing Equipment Info>>
for reference.
