== Configuring a dive computer
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
_Subsurface_ enables one to configure a dive computer. Currently the Heinrichs-Weikamp (OSTC 2, OSTC 3) and
|
||||||
|
Suunto Vyper (Stinger, Mosquito, D3, Vyper, Vytec,
|
||||||
|
Cobra, Gekko and Zoop) family of dive computers are supported. A large number of settings of these dive computers
|
||||||
|
can be read and changed to different values. As a first step, ensure that the appropriate hardware driver
|
||||||
|
is installed for the dive computer and that the device name of the dive computer is known.
|
||||||
|
See <<S_APPENDIX_A,APPENDIX A>> for information on how to do this.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once the dive computer is connected to the _Subsurface_ computer, select _File->Configure dive
|
||||||
|
computer_ from the _Main Menu_. Provide the appropriate device name in the text box at the
|
||||||
|
top of the configuration panel that opens and select the appropriate dive
|
||||||
|
computer model from the panel on the lefthand (see image below).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
image::images/Configure_dc_f20.jpg["FIGURE: Configure dive computer",align="center"]
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Using the appropriate buttons on the configuration panel, the following actions can be performed:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- *Retrieve available details*. This loads the existing configuration from the dive computer
|
||||||
|
to _Subsurface_, showing this in the configuration panel.
|
||||||
|
- *Save changes to device*. This changes the configuration of the
|
||||||
|
dive computer to correspond to the informtion shown in the configuration panel.
|
||||||
|
- *Backup*. This saves the configuration data to a file. _Subsurface_ asks for
|
||||||
|
a file location and file name for the saved information.
|
||||||
|
- *Restore backup*. This loads the information from a backup file and displays it
|
||||||
|
in the configuration panel.
|
||||||
|
- *Update firmware*. If new firmware is available for the dive computer, this is
|
||||||
|
loaded into the dive computer.
