Can anyone explain this bit of odd behavior? These three dives at La Jolla Shores (my most recent 3) all show a very deep and quick dip into depths I didn't actually dive. At the times pointed out I was swimming down the gradual slope of LJS towards the wall. Ideas?
Well, glad it's not the Cobalt- it's still strange, but looks as if one or two samples didn't get read in properly- maybe try downloading the dives again and see if the results for those segments are different? The segments in the desktop dive log software and the Cobalt should match exactly at the same times. Is that from MacDive?Ok, good call! The dive log on the computer does not have these anomalies. It is set for 30 second intervals (1.17/2). What's that about?
Another thing I noticed this weekend and just confirmed is that my compass is waay off. Like 30-40 degrees. I just did a calibration out in the parking lot far from anything other than a cardboard box and it's still off. Is there a way to fix the compass manually?
I appreciate the quick answers!

I absolutely agree with you. Ron helped us in our situation twice over the weekends, sending/assisting with right information. 100% true - "Great computer and even greater service from Ron!"... but it was amazing how much personal attention Ron gave an individual user and over a weekend. It's great to know that there is someone at the manufacturer that cares so much that the consumer is satisfied. Great computer and even greater service from Ron!
I can answer this. 1.13 is the most widely distributed version, and is almost, but not quite identical to 1.17, which was posted for a short while until the problems with the Windows drivers became too apparent. Differences between 1.13 and 1.17 are that 1) the leap year date (Feb 29) displays properly (not an issue for another four years), 2) in 1.17 the time of day display alternates with the temperature in the dive screen, and 3) there is enhanced scaling in the dive log profile screen. There was an obscure bug that turned up in 1.17 concerning the display of total gas consumption for simulated dives in the planner SIM dive summary screen, and some users reported more problems downloading dives to the Atomic software (the driver issue again). So when Atomic reposted the current version, they posted 1.13 to avoid these problems. A newer version with the changes will post when the Windows software is revised. The issue there is not the software, but the need to manually remove the old drivers from Win 7 and Vista systems- the uninstaller can't do it, apparently.I am new to this board and thread, so please bare with me if I missed something.
Atomic website shows 1.13 as the most current, but everyone is talking about 1.17. Where does this come from?
As far as Mac Lion, when can I expect to be able to update using this OS?
Thanks everyone!!!
