    Sherwood Wisdom Download Error

    Not sure if this is a known problem or if there is a lnown fix aswell

    In the last week I've done 5 dives


    1 on he 7th
    2 on the 10th
    1 on the 11th
    1 on the 14th

    When I go to download the logs it has an error
    "3 dives downloaded"
    "2 dives Invalid"

    the 2 dives are

    Dive number 1 on the 10th
    and todays dive the 14th


    all other dives download fine
    any ideas how to export these 2 dives to my log

    If I retry to download it tells me it has been downloaded
    but won't save it.....

    I have had something similar occur once or twice and the only fix I found was to go into the data base and add them manually.
    Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but rather by the number of moments that take your breath away.

    Unfortunately, That is probably over my head,

    I've looked at the DB and it's not in Metric which is my main problem
    I've email Sherwood and the Dive Outlet I purchased the item from

    Thanks

    Ok the Guys I bought the computer from emailed a Patch

    and are sending out an update disk.

    Not sure if the 2 are the same or not so I'll keep you all posted.

    The patch didn't solve the issue either


    Edit,

    Apparently they have released the update disk to evolve with windows operating system
    to confirm the the way the computer was written to stop these errors.

    Here's hoping.

    You are not the only one that has had problems with that computer. I know a few guys here that hate the POS. They ended up swapping for a Smart Com or Suunto Cobra. I've heard too many not-so-good things about the Wisdom and to me I wouldn't own it if Suunto or UWatec went out of buisness.

    Bar this mishap I'm most impressed with the computer

    Great screen and great audio warnings
    Yes the software is not worth it, but scubase makes it redeem itself.

    and beyond the problems I've read about from cold water diving,well luckily my local waters hit a bottom of about 60f in winter and around 78f in summer so I'm guessing I can count that out

    And further more the outlet I bought it from have so far been excellent in response time and effort in regards to support

    Get a copy of the 3rd-party software, Scubase, and import your logs. It will give you options to add trips, photos and presents the data in a much more readable way with additional data such as SAC rate. It's got everything that the primitive Wisdom software lacks.
    Yield to temptation; it may not pass your way again.

    well version 1.1.4 doesn't fix the error either

    I'll just have to monitor it the next few dives or send it back for further inspection
