Suunto Vyper Temperature sampling

[ggora]

I have a Vyper and the Suunto Dive Manger 3.0 software, the software only displays the temp at the deepest depth and at the start of the dive. Unfortunately the temp at the deepest part of the dive is not necessarily the lowest temp in the dive profile.

The computer samples every 10s from what I can tell.

Is there a way to see the temps thru the entire dive?

I'm fairly confident that this is the same as the Cobra - basicly the same design as the Vyper, plus air integration. The Cobra only logs the depth at each sample interval. It logs temperature only at the start, end, and deepest depth for each dive. It also only logs start and end pressure, not pressure at each sample - not relevant to the Vyper, but you see the pattern, eh?

So it's not your PC software that has this limit, it's intrinsic to the dive computer.

I'm not going to download the Vyper manual to check this, but I expect you have one. Look at the section that's probably titled (from the Cobra manual)
MENU BASED MODES -> MEMORIES AND DATA TRANSFER [1 Memory] -> Data Transfer and PC-Interface [3 TR-PC]

There's a list of what data is transferred to the PC. The Cobra manual says "temperature at the beginning of the dive, maximum depth, and end of the dive".
I expect the Vyper is the same.

BTW, later Suunto models like Cobra 2 have more data recorded at each sample.

If you want to see the temp during the dive hit the switch screen button and it will show the temp. Otherwise as said it is not recorded except at the deepest and end of dive.

You are correct. I guess I didn't read that page of the manual close enough:

The following data is transferred to the PC:
• depth profi le of the dive
• dive time
• surface interval time
• dive number
• Altitude and Personal adjustment settings
• oxygen percentage setting and maximum OLF (in NITROX Mode)
• tissue calculation data
• temperature at the maximum depth, beginning of the dive, and end of
the dive
• dive entry time (year, month, day and time)
• additional dive information (e.g. SLOW and Mandatory Safety Stop
violations, Dive Attention Mark, Bookmark, Surfaced Mark, Decom-
pression Mark, Ceiling Error Mark)
• identity number of the dive computer
• personal information.

This is actualy incorrect. No tissue data is transmitted by the 'Vyper' type computers. The tissue data is calculated from the depth samples by the recieving software.
