VII Interface and Logbook Software
DataTrak/DataTalk
The Aladin
®
Sport is able to communicate with a personal computer. The connection is established by contact
sensors. A special interface cable and the necessary PC-software
DataTrak/DataTalk
(MS-DOS) is available.
Communication via interface has a number of advantages:
1.1 Personal programming of the dive computer
By means of the
DataTalk
software you can choose if depth is indicated in feet or metres.
1.2 Analysis and storage of real dives
The last approx. 200 minutes of the dive are stored by the dive computer in increments of 20 seconds and can
be transferred to the PC. The
DataTrak
software allows the representation and the analysis of the profiles. By
this means, all relevant data are examined and displayed for every point in time.
The PC programme enables the diver to keep a personal logbook. Apart from the 200 minutes of diving, 37
dives are registered in the form of the logbook function of Aladin
®
Sport. If the data of Aladin
®
Sport are
transferred periodically, all dives are stored in the PC as profiles or in this short form. Time and date of the dives
are automatically registered on the data transfer and the dives can be printed out on paper for the diver’s
logbook.
