Request for data from Shearwater dive computers

[TnT]

Hi,

To make some improvements for the Shearwater dive computers, I'm looking for some additional test data for each different model (Petrel 1 & 2, Nerd, Perdix and Perdix AI). Any Diving Log users who want to help me with that?

To collect the data, you need to download your dives using the libdivecomputer dctool command-line application, which you can download here:

http://www.libdivecomputer.org/builds/stable/dctool.exe
http://www.libdivecomputer.org/builds/e ... petrel.cmd

You need to execute it with the following options:

Code: Select all

dctool.exe -vv -l petrel.log -f petrel download -o dive.%n.bin -f raw <serialport>

where you replace <serialport> with the correct virtual bluetooth port (e.g. COMx). If you're not comfortable running a command-line application, you can also use the petrel.cmd batch file to run the application with the right options. Place it the same directory as the dctool application, and then start it by simply double clicking. Note that the batch file has COM4 hardcoded as the serial port. If that's not the correct port, you'll need to edit the batch file first.

When the download finished, you just need to email me (jef@libdivecomputer.org) the logfile, along with all the dive.*.bin files.

Hallo
I just joined and can see you are requesting shearwater data, is that still needed ?
as I should be able to help as soon as i get back to work

[TnT]

Yes, I can still use some extra data!

[Loeth]

ok i will start sending data as soon as im back to work, can you in the meantime fix the download links so i can set up the software so its ready

[TnT]

The correct link is: http://www.libdivecomputer.org/builds/s ... dctool.exe

Hi
have downloaded the link you posted (dtool) but the software just closes in a flash.
i am no computer expert so have no ide to use it.
could you provide me with a bit of info on how to use it ?
sorry for the trouble

[TnT]

It's a command-line application which needs some parameters to run correctly. So if you execute it by simply double clicking it, it won't work. The easiest way to run it with the correct options is to also download the petrel batch file, and double click that. (Note that you may need to edit the batch file is the virtual serial port is different from COM4).

im sorry dosnt seem like i will be able to help you, as i downloaded the code and wont connect no matter what i do within my limited computer ability, the com3 as i have wont connect no matter what i try.

I've packed the files into the attached zip file. Download the zip file and open it. Double click the petrel.cmd file. I've changed the COM Port to 3.

thanks for the work, here is what it gives me when i try it.
