Import new dives from a Uemis Zurich
------------------------------------
Things are very similar when downloading dives from a Uemis Zurich
divecomputer (which certainly is one of the ones that DO recharge when
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
mounted once you connect the divecomputer.
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
'/var/run/media/<your_username>/UEMISSDA'.
So once you have selected this as device name you can download the dives
from the Uemis Zurich. One current 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
that the divecomputer ran out of space the solution is straight forward.
Disconnect the SDA, turn it off and on again, and reconnect it. You can
now start a new download session and it 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 have stored on your divecomputer.
At this point Subsurface doesn't download all the information that is
stored on the SDA. Information about dive spots, buddies, and equipment is
not yet downloaded.
