Some time ago, I ordered the TUSA IQ-800 dive computer. Due to back orders and other unexplained delays, it finally arrived today. I read the manual but was puzzled by the page devoted to "PC Transfer Mode". This page tells you how to put the computer in the "PC Transfer Mode" and shows pictures of the "screen" during this operation. However, there is no explanation of how to actually move the data from the dive computer to a pc. Searching on the web suggested that there is another piece of hardware required, but no illustrations involving cables, connectors or adapters.
1. Does anyone out there have experience with this dive computer?
2. Have you ever transferred your dive data to a pc?
3. Is additional hardware/software required? Cables?
4. Where can I go to get this info if it isn't right in the forefront of your mind?
I did ask at the LDS where I purchased the dive computer but the owner is "travelling" and the counter jockey isn't even a certified diver. Didn't know if there was supposed to be more hardware included, or if I had to order addtional stuff. Very frustrating.
And to top it off, I am leaving Saturday morning for Ft. Lauderdale to catch the Nekton Pilot to do my first live aboard in the northern Bahamas. Any timely information would be greatly appreciated. Strictly speaking, there is no reason I need to know before the trip but it irritates me that I have to dig for information that (it seems to me) ought to be in the manual.
Thanks,
