Shearwater Petrel Import Issue Diving Log 5.0 - Surface Interval

[serpentara]

I also posted this on Diving Log's message board but have not yet gotten a response. I also posted it in the Shearwater manufacturers forum, but since this involves a third party software app, I thought I would post here.

The Shearwater Petrel has the ability to wait a given amount of time on the surface before ending the dive so that short surface intervals do not lead to multiple dives. You can set the delay between a few second to 10 minutes. Other computers also do this, such as the ATOM 3.1.

When I import the dive log from the Petrel into Diving Log 5.0, the 10 minute delay appears as part of my graph at the end of my dive. What is odd is that the overall dive time number appears to be correct, and is different than the total amount displayed on the graph (because the first 10 min of the surface interval is displayed) My Atom did not have this problem. The first 10 min of the surface interval was not displayed.

Is there any way to fix this? I don't want a large horizontal line at the end of each of my dives. It seems like you could just cut off the end of the graph based on the total dive time value.

Attached are images of the dive log from Diving Log 5.0 and from Shearwater Desktop.

Hi

Thank you for the information! Can you send me a Shearwater Desktop logbook file with such a dive profile? I'll have a look at the data how to cut the end during the import.

Thank you,
Sven

Happy to, just let me know what email address to send it to. To be clear, I encounter the problem when I import files directly from the Petrel into Diving Log 5.0 via blue tooth. I have not yet tried importing from Shearwater Desktop.

I've sent you the email via PM. I think that this problem probably doesn't exist when you import from Shearwater Desktop, because the zero depth at the end is already cut. But we'll have to try it. You may also want to report this issue to the libdivecomputer project: libdivecomputer, a library for communication with various dive computers.

This library is used by Diving Log for the direct download. I'm not sure if this should be fixed directly in libdivecomputer or in the application itself.
