Introducing OSCT MK2 2N

[LouieLouie]

I can't find anything that suggests the OSTC supports imperial units, which is a pleasant surprise and one more reason to buy it. That medieval stuff is only used by the axis of evil anyways - Burma, Liberia and one more country I can't remember...

On the serious side - getting hold of one stateside might be difficult as I understand Heinrichs Weikamp isn't all that keen on making friends in the US judicial systems. Reef Photo in Ft. Lauderdale is listed as a reseller, but seems to carry photo equipment only and no dive computers. Can't find any in the Kingdom of Canadia either.

That may be why he intentionally left out Imperial units from his software. Within the computer it's an easy conversion. Without Imperial units he would skip out much of the US market.

Yep, as this is an open source device it shouldn't take much effort to reprogram it to display imperial units. All internal calculations could still be metric.

However, that would be as backwards as converting DIN to yoke...

It looks like it's meant to interface with DivingLog Diving Log 5.0 - scuba logbook software for diver - dive log, scuba log and the firmware updates with his bootloader.

You can interface the OSTC with several softwares (JDivelog ...).

Got in touch with the reseller, the dark lord units are not supported.

a very good computer to dive air/nitrox/trimix.

i'm since yesterday a trimix hypoxic qualified (CMAS & TDI) diver and all divers during this course were equipped with an OSTC MK2 or OSTC 2n.

no imperial units, not sold in USA.

Félicitations. Je vois que la solidarité entre nonagénaires n'est pas un vain mot. La NG faisait aussi partie de la cuvée ?

she's very busy by a big change in her professional career, so, not a lot of dives since one year.

@ Patrick : her MBA I guess.

I don't see any interest to use imperial : it is hard to convert a value from one unit to an other ( how many foot in 1.953875 mile)

it's hard to convert people when they don't want
