Smart Com Problems!

[tribaltim]

First Problem: I can't seem to get my IRDA from UWATEC to work on my computer. I am kinda of computer savvy and got it work once now it dosen't work at all, any suggestions or maybe what other kind of IRDA might be a little more user friendly?

Second Problem: Every time I use my computer it registers only 1080 PSI on a tank that really has 3000? How do I know because I double checked it with another regulator, now here is the funny part all of the alarms on the Computer act as if their is really only 1080 PSI to start but diving with my friends after they have used about 2300 PSI on our dive my tank has went from 1080 to about 280 weird. It's almost like if I multiply those readings by 3 then that's what I really have which isn't a problem but why would my alarms start going off as soon as I get in the water telling me I need to surface because I only have enought air for like 10 more minutes?

If these are just silly questions please be gentle, I'm a new diver.......

I've got a smartcom also and it's a bit finicky about exactly where to put the irda to make the connection. Don't forget to open the cover. As far as your readings, you might check your settings to make sure you don't have conflicting units, such as meters and psi.

This is the screen that I need to have my smart-com set to for communication to be successful. The plastic "door" must be open too as stated above.

Good Luck!
