11. How to find the Device Name
When you connect your divecomputer by using an USB connector, most of the
time, the default of ´/dev/ttyUSB0' should work. But if you have other
Serial to USB devices, this can be different because '/dev/ttyUSB0' is
already in use.
One of the ways to find out what your dive name is:
Disconnect your usb cable of your dive computer
Open a terminal
Type the command: 'dmesg' and press enter
Plug in your usb cable of your divecomputer
Type the command: 'dmesg' and press enter
Within your terminal you should see a message similair to this one:
usb 2-1.1: new full speed USB device number 14 using ehci_hcd
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial
USB Serial support registered for generic
usbcore: registered new interface driver usbserial_generic
usbserial: USB Serial Driver core

You see that in the third line from the bottom, the usb adapter is
detected and is connected to 'ttyUSB3'. Now you use this information in
the import settings as '/dev/ttyUSB3'. Your divecomputer interface is
connected and you should be able to import your dives.
