Hello everyone.
I am soldering on experimenting with this software, and I am still struggling with it mostly due to the lack of a proper manual and basic examples of how to do things. I think I am getting the hang of it, but I just noticed something quite strange. I am importing all data from my Suunto Eon Core, and, to my surprise, the figures displayed in the Diving Log are somehow different. I started noticing that the SAC rate on DL was vastly higher than the one calculated by the Suunto. My dive gear has air integration, so I would have thought that the data collected by my dive computer would be more accurate than the DL calculation. In any case, the difference was "explained" by the fact that DL calculated its own SAC. I would have preferred that it looked for the incoming data value and simply display it, but fair enough. When it comes to other data, DL looks like it is doing some sort of round-up and it shouldn't really. I am attaching a couple of screenshots. For the depth of this specific dive, SUunto value was 27.4 m, and DL displays 27.3m. Small difference, but it should not be there. Water temperature on the suunto app shows at 12C, the DL displays 11.2C. DL diving time shows as 33 min while the suunto app displays 32'50".
Why does this happen?
Many thanks for your help
Best
Miguel

Re: Discrepancies
Dive time for scuba dives is always rounded to full minutes, seconds are only shown for apnea dives. To tell you how the SAC rate is calculated, I would need your logbook file to see the exact values used, then you can understand how it is done. SAC rate cannot be downloaded from the dive computer, the Suunto app also calculates this. Not sure about water temperature, but the temperature profile should show the lowest value as well, so I can check when I have your logbook. You can send it to info@divinglog.de
