Diver6 User Manual
Section 5: Page 50 of 87
If all active divers are not marked as being on the
surface, an alert dialog box will be presented stating so.
This situation can occur if a diver surfaces quickly and
his modem comes out of the water preventing any final
acoustic communications notifying the software that
the diver is actually on the surface. The Dive Master
may therefore enter his password as a confirmation
that all divers are on the surface and the dive is
complete. (Figure 38) This feature is added as a
convenience. The other method to accomplish this is
to return to the monitoring screens and manually mark
each diver as on the surface.
Diagnostics
The Diagnostics screen allows the Dive Master to
perform simple diagnostics to ensure modems are set
up and communicating properly. Be sure that the
Topside Modem is connected and the port has been
chosen in the Communications section of the
Configuration page.
Test Topside Modem
This button will test the serial communications
between the Topside Modem and the Diver6
computer. A successful test will display information
pertaining to the Topside Modem. Some of this
information may be required for warranty and repair
situations. At the end of the test, a success or failure
message will be displayed (Figure 39).
Test Diver Modem
Before running this test, ensure that the
Test Topside
Modem
test has been run successfully. Enter the
modem number to be tested and press the

that modem, details from the modem are displayed.
Otherwise, a failure message will be displayed.
In this case, the test may be performed again as
necessary making sure the diver modem is powered
on, has the correct modem ID and is in range of the
Topside Modem (Figure 40).
