Pressing the <Mode> button for 2 seconds enters
profile viewing mode. There are three ways for
scrolling through the profile points:

Press and release the <Mode> button to scroll
through the profile points one at a time.

Press <Mode> for 2 seconds and then release it to
activate automatic scrolling of the profile points.

Press and hold down the <Mode> button to
activate automatic scrolling three time faster
than above.

During automatic scrolling of the profile points,
press <Mode> to revert to scrolling the points one
at a time.
During viewing of the profile points, the display
shows the following information (fig. 43): 

Depth.

Interval (20 Sec) to which the depth is
referred.

Speed of ascent, if any.

Decompression stop violation, if any.

"Deco" or "no deco" icon.

"Nitrox" - indication in any intervals where the
max PPO

To exit the profile viewing mode, press the <Mode>
and <-> buttons simultaneously. The display will
go back to the preceding general data view.

INTERFACING TO A PC

Using a special interface unit and a dedicated
Windows software application, it is possible to
transfer data from the LogBook of an DARWIN to a
personal computer, and to configure the various
SET parameters from a personal computer.
The communication between the DARWIN and the
PC is optical, and takes place via an RS232 serial
port of the PC and the special interface unit which
converts the optical signals into electrical signals
and vice versa.
The data transfer procedure is as follows:
The user selects PC mode (fig. 44). In this condition,
the transmission will be managed by the interface
program running on the personal computer.
Fig. A shows the different ways for accessing PC
mode:
By pressing the <Mode> button from LOGBOOK
mode.
By pressing the <-> button from OFF mode.
By pressing the <-> button from DIVE mode.

FAQ

Q:

If the level 1 low-battery indication appears
(i.e. the battery icon illuminates) when the
computer is in use, for example during a dive:
how many dives can I still do before replacing
the batteries?

A:

Approximately 5 dives. However it is good
practice to replace the batteries as soon as
possible.

Q:

If the level 1 low-battery indication appears
(i.e. low battery icon and audible alarm) when
the computer is switched on after it has not
been used for some time, how many dives can
I still do before replacing the batteries?

A:

Because the computer has not been used for
some time, it is impossible to know when the
battery charge first dropped below level.
Replace the batteries before your next dive.

Q:

When I replace the batteries, will my LogBook
dive data be lost?

A:

No. 

Q:

When I replace the batteries, will I lose the
data of my last dive?
