Re: Connecting to new computer

Well in Advance settings I have plenty of com ports, all the way to 24. :D It tells me 3 to 6 are in use. I seem to recall from my old days that the com ports shared interrupts? It picked 7 when I first inserted it. I just tried the first free port as a test. In Events I have Driver Management has c...

Connecting to new computer

Hi, I have now moved to a new laptop. I have moved all the programs I need to this laptop, Diving Log 6 being one of them. Just trying out my leads in preparation of a holiday diving, into a dummy log file. I have a memomouse and the Aladin original lead. I have tried with the Memomouse and the Z Ni...

Re: Cannot download dives

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply. I am using the same cables. Official Aladin cable with a serial to USB converter. Download worked fine the other night, showing all the dives in the memomouse. I have Windows updates switched off, but as I only dive once a year, several updates even major will have oc...

Cannot download dives

Hi, I upgraded to 6.0 and even just took the latest update. I cannot download from my Aladadin Air Z Nitrox directly, just keep getting DC_STATUS_PROTOCOL error :( Then the Aladian just cycles through the dives until I unplug one of the connectors? So I found out I could upload to memomouse and down...

Re: Not saving air data

Sven,

I think I know where I was going wrong.
When the Uwatec Aladin failed I then tried the Downloader, but looking at the error log, it showed Access denied, so the same problem (locking of com port) was causing this.

When I tried it first, in the normal sequence it downloaded fine.

Thank you.

Re: Not saving air data

Sven, I am aware of that (going into logbook mode) that is how I have transferred for years and with this program (eventually) What I am saying is despite going into logbook mode and then getting the green download bar in Uwatec Aladin download option, it immediately goes back to Waiting for transfe...

Not saving air data

Hi, Having a few problems downloading data from an Aladin Z Nitorx. When downloading the green bar goes across and then it just says waiting for transfer? Many attempts to get it recognised, generally have to exit the program and try again as COM port in use? When it does work, it does not download ...

Re: New to DL

Thank you, Yes, my previous/current s/w is Wlog. I think I will just enter the data manually for now and rely on the memomouse, then play around with it when I get home. I will report back with what I find. One point of observation, it is not easily apparent that the type of engine in settings is a ...

Re: New to DL

It is that I am using.?

I am used to getting the connection and then initiating the download on the Aladin.
With the download button on the UD, when are you supposed to click it.? I've tried before setting the download on the aladin and after.?

I must be doing something wrong.?

New to DL

Hi, I am trying out DL5 to replace my current Log app on Windows as it no longer seems to work reliably with a USB adapter. I have a Aladin Z Nitrox and a Memomouse, but cannot download anything.? The Z nitrox option is similar to my old program where I connect and then initiate transfer on the Z. W...

Re: Com Ports in Windows 7

Thank you for the reply. I was using the Uwatec Aladin downloader. I had a look at the other one, but sure how to use that. I tried switching on the Aladin and pressing the Download button as instructed, but got 'Transfer interrupted' each time. Tried entering logbook mode and then the button with n...

Re: Com Ports in Windows 7

Thank you for the reply. I know that I need to enter logbook mode to transfer, that is how Wlog works. However when I enter logbook mode the data downloads as described by the green bar, then immediately goes back to 'Waiting for Transfer'. I have just managed to get a transfer on the 4th attempt.

Com Ports in Windows 7

Hi, Just downloaded this app as my old app that I used to use no longer works with Windows 7 and is unlikely to any time soon. I see that DL tries to use COM3, whilst my USB to Serial lead is set by Win7 to COM4. I could not see anyway to change the port in DL, so changed it in WIN7 to COM3. WIN7 wa...
