Log/Download for Aeris Elite T3

[sladerer]

All,

I recently got a new PC and the old Aeris ACI software will not seem to connect/download from my old Elite T3. Has anyone had any luck with other software that will 1)download successfully from the Elite T3 and 2)Import the old Aeirs .dlg file (or the exported logs)?

thanks,

Scott

1. Yes. I've used Subsurface (free, open-source, cross-platform) and Divemate (Android, free + $ for "extension pack" required to transfer dives) to transfer data from my T3 and other computers.

I think that you can import the exported logs into other software directly, or it's pretty easy to convert them to another form (CSV file, for example) that can be imported.

if you are using windows 10, the driver for the cable may be the culprit, try updating the VCP driver

Hi Scott

You can use Diving Log to import your .dlg file. You have to run the Aeris software during import as the file is encrypted, but the software seem to be running on your PC. If not, I can do the conversion for you. Download is also supported as long as the interface drivers are working.

Kind regards,
Sven

Thanks everyone, appreciate all the pointers. I'll give these a shot.

Sven - do you happen to know which Import item to select to read the .dlg? Aeris is not on the list.

Thank you

Sorry I forgot: it's the "Oceanlog" import function. Make sure the Aeris software is running at the same time with the same logbook file opened. If it does not work, run both apps with administrator rights (right click the shortcut). Let me know if you have still problems.

Looking for other feedback as I've yet to be able to get the T3 to sync. It is most likely a driver issue, but I've done the suggested install but still is not working.

The suggestion above was about importing the *.dlg logbook file from the Aeris software. Unfortunately 3rd party logbook apps do not contain any drivers, so normally either Windows have to install the driver automatically from Windows Update or you need to install the manufacturer software in order to get the drivers. If both fails, you may be out of luck.

But to investigate this further, you have to check Windows device manager to see if there are any errors when the interface is connected or if the COM port was installed correctly. If it was, you should see the COM port appearing in the download dialog of Diving Log and you can select it. You can also activate "Log errors" in the download dialog and send me the resulting error log via email.
