Diving Log for Windows Phone Update

Monday, August 20th, 2012

A new update of Diving Log for Windows Phone (version 3.3) is now available. It got some new features, which were ported back from the upcoming Windows 8 touch version to Windows Phone. The dive list is now sorted descending by default, so the last dive is on top. You can change the sort order in the settings if you prefer the first dive on top:

The profile view has now a secondary profile like the desktop version. When you tap on the profile title (e.g. “Asc-/Descend rate”) you’ll get a selection list to switch the profile type. The ppO2 profile is currently not yet available. When you tap on the profile, you’ll get a full screen profile view.

And last but not least, images can finally be viewed in full screen when you tap on them, which is really useful for dive site maps and certifications:

You should see the update notification in your marketplace hub soon. As mentioned before, these are actually features which are back-ported from the Windows 8 touch version, so you can expect all these things already in the initial tablet version.

Diving Log 5.0.3 released

Thursday, May 26th, 2011

After five month of development and five beta versions, the final version 5.0.3 is now available (install the update from 5.0.2 to update from any beta 5.0.3). For those of you, who have been downloaded and installed each beta version, there are just a few changes since the last beta. But those updating from version 5.0.2 will get a really big update with tons of new features, which would normally justify a new major version:

This update is a big improvement for technical divers and scuba divers with lots of new data fields including Nitrox, Trimix and Rebreather dives!

Changes from Beta to Final

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

The final version 5.0.3 will be released shortly and I want to show you the few things which have been added since beta 5. It’s mostly polishing, some minor bug fixes and the German localization (other languages will follow during the next weeks). I’ve updated the Suunto Dive Manager (SDM 4.0 not yet supported!), Oceanlog, Mares Iris/Drak and UDCF import and there is a new import from the Atomic Cobalt logbook software. You can also display now in CCR dives the ppO2 chart from all three O2 sensors (if supported by the O2 monitor):

Display up to three ppO2 Sensor values

Blue is sensor 1, green is sensor 2 and cyan is sensor 3. The yellow line is the setpoint. The dive site dialog has now a 2nd page with some more data:

New profiles and CCR features

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

You can now import and manage your CCR dives with Diving Log. Switches from diluent to bailout (including changing the diluent and/or bailout gas) are supported, as well as ppO2 recording from up to three O2 sensors, setpoint, OTU and CNS profile data. Additionally, if supported by the dive computer, deco ceiling, NDL and stop time could be imported and displayed.

Deco ceiling, NDL and stop time

On the screenshot below you can see the ppO2 profile recorded from the O2 monitor, the yellow setpoint line (in the ppO2 profile). After 30 minutes you notice the switch to bailout and at the end another switch of the bailout gas. Switches of the diluent gas are also supported.

CCR dive profile

OTU and CNS profile

You can enter your rebreather diluent / O2 tank and all bailout tanks within the tank management dialog. Select the CCR option for the diluent and O2 tank and the OC option for the bailout tanks.

Tank Management

CCR profile data is automatically imported from APD (copy/paste), BFT, ProLink, DR5, HS Explorer, Liquivision X1, Poseidon and Shearwater. If you notice any problems or wrong data after the import, please let me know.

Diving Log 5.0 – New profile functionality and more

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

Today I’ve uploaded an update which brings a lot of the missing profile features from version 4.0. And there are a few more things included in this update:

  • Sort dives function
  • Profile data and graphic export
  • Profile split and merge
  • Profile cursor and auto scroll
  • Tank pressure gauge works now also without tank profile
  • Ascend/descend rate profile improved
  • Comments print function
  • Layout gallery in Ribbon
  • Time zone picker in country editor

The dives sorting and renumbering feature (menu File > Logbook Maintenance > Sort Logbook) is now included. Remember, in version 5.0 you can also sort a set of dives in the table editor.

The profile export function allows you to export the profile data to the clipboard, text, CSV, Excel and printer and the profile graphic to the clipboard, image file and printer. The profile split and merge feature is now also included as well as the red cursor line and the auto scroll function. The tank pressure gauge will now also work if no tank profile is available, by interpolating between start and end pressure. The only thing that is still missing is the profile editing function.

The ascend / descend profile calculation has been improved. With the old method the profile was difficult to read when the computer used short recording intervals. The new calculation outputs a much better profile which is more realistic.

In the layout tab of the ribbon I’ve included a ribbon gallery with layouts included in Diving Log. In future I want to add more layouts (e.g. for small Netbook screens) and a way to add your own layouts to this gallery.

Diving Log 5.0 – Logbook Profile

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Today I want to talk about the dive profile improvements in version 5.0. Each profile can now be configured separately (each has its own right click context menu). There are several profile areas (by default 3 but you can drag more hidden areas to any place in the window) and each of them can display any profile. So you can display for example the depth, temperature and tank 1 profile. Or you can display tank 1, tank 2 and tank 3.

The gauges on the right side are now scalable so they look right on different DPI settings and window sizes. You can drag each profile and gauge on the form around like any other component. In this way you can display for example a small preview profile on the the first tab page additionally to the big profile on the profile tab.

The profile display is prepared for displaying bookmarks or annotations (like in Suunto Dive Manager) and tank switches. The ppO2 graph will use the real O2 value of the tank used in this profile range.

You can select a profile range with the mouse which offers a wide range of possibilities (e.g. set a compass course or tank number for the selected range).

On the profile data tab you can view, edit and export now all profile data. In version 4.0 only the depth profile can be viewed and exported.
