Suunto Downloader
Download function for PPC PC 2003SE and Suunto (Vytec)
Hi James,
Sven said to me, I was to ask you.
I need for divinglog a direct download function for PPC PC 2003SE and Suunto (Vytec). I don't like the way over the Desktop and then into the PPC. Its too complicated.
In the vacation I have only the PPC also.
You have a solution for the problem in next time.
Thank you.
Norbert

The Downloader is written in Borland c++, I don't think it will run on a PPC.
The API that underpins it is MSC++ compatible, and can be compiled for the PPC, I'd need to build a front end for it in MSC. I started to, but my grasp of MS Visual Studio is limited. I, in general, hate all things microsoft. If someone more skilled in the PPC visual programming is interested in writing a small front end (in borland it is ~ 7 short routines) I'd be happy to compile a PPC version.

Suunto downloader
Sven and everyone,
Jim wrote a Suunto downloader version called 2.0.1.25, and it works with DL 4.0.8 directly from the Stinger. On the first try, it gave an erro, but on a second attempt it succeeded. thanks.

2.01.25 Fixes Errors
Hello James,
I'm using a Sunnto Vyper with USB interface and Diving Log 4.0.8
Version 2.01.19 gave me error 19.
Version 2.01.25 works without any errors for me.
Keep up the good work!

Suunto USB and Vista
Anybody knows what is the problem with original Suunto USB driver running (to be more precise, not running) on Vista???
James, I've downloaded the latest version of your Suunto Downloader, it fails to run, complaining about absent XML file, any idea?

Re: Suunto USB and Vista
Take a look in " C:\ ". Is there a file there named "SuuntoDownload.xml" ??kreuzerkrieg wrote:James, I've downloaded the latest version of your Suunto Downloader, it fails to run, complaining about absent XML file, any idea?
If so, then the problem is in the fact that I'm an old American. I think the program is not reading the command line correctly on UNICODE machines.
When I started in computers you used ASCII or EBDIC or you lived in the USSR ( and probably still used ascii ) some times I forget the rest of the world doesn't speak english
<joke>
What do you call a person that can speak 3 languages?
Trilingual .
What do you call a person that can speak 2 languages?
Bilingual.
What do you call a person that can only speak 1 language?
Yeah - a damned American!
</joke.

of course it does not have any xml in the root of C drive, neither in DL4 folder
AFAIR, once you distributed it with the XML...
didnt get your joke but it is allright if you god damn american which speaks only one language - unicode
dont think unicode matters, if you compile unicode or ascii the system should behave accordingly without any programmer intervention, but it depends on each specific case...
in any case, any idea what I have to do with suunto usb driver on vista?

Well, if you pass a Unicode string to an app that expects an 8 bit character you have problems, so unicode does matter.
The downloader builds an XML file as it's output. Where it puts that file is determined by a command line switch passed by the parent program. If you don't specify that switch, the program defaults to "C:\Suuntodownload.xml" as the output file. The parent program (diving log) then erases that XML file after it reads it- IF the program puts it where it was told.
copy the SuuntoXML.exe file to a simple directory ( C:\ comes to mind)
then from the start button -> run 'C:\SuuntoXML.exe -port="COMx" '
where COM 'x' is the port you would normally use. That should put the XML file in C:\ . If you wish you can spec a file name of your choosing -file="path"
as for the Suunto driver - Ask them.

Well, I guess Sven is in charge of passing parameters to your module... I will talk to him...James Connell wrote:Well, if you pass a Unicode string to an app that expects an 8 bit character you have problems, so unicode does matter.

Asking Suunto, that was really good joke

I just downloaded my dives from my Vytec and when it was 100% completed I got an XML error message. I do have the SuuntoXML.xml file, but Diving Log did not import it. Is it possible to import the .xml file manually? I use a somewhat busted interface and i have been trying for a couple of hours to download the dives. If I have to do that again i will probably jump from a roof...
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

When you open the Suunto download dialog in Diving Log you can type the word "debug" on the first page of the wizard (without quotation marks), you have 3 more options then. If you uncheck the options "Delete XML file after download" and "Download" Diving Log will only import the existing XML file without prior downloading.
If Diving Log doesn't import the file, please send it to me and I'll check if it is OK.
