Maybe a talk with the Diving Log guys could help?
"OK, great news: I've heard back from Liquivision and got already some material - and also a direct download with Diving Log seems not too far away, but I can't promise more about that right now. An import is almost working already."
"So, here we go: Thanks to the documentation I got yesterday, I finally managed to read the Dive Log file format (*.lvd) and created a first import which you can test. It works with the 2 logbook files I have, but it is possible that it has still bugs. I managed to import almost all data, except profile events (e.g. warnings and gas switches). If you have any logbook files containing dive profiles with gas switches and warnings, please send me the files."

a friend of mine happenes to use a Liquivision X1 computer.
I understand libdivecomputer does not yet support that model, but wanted to ask whether there are any known attempts underway to change that?
Or would it be realistic to assume that borrowing that computer for just a few days trying to sniff its protocol would deliver enough information to support it?
I looked briefly at the Liquivision Xen/Xeo last year. But I didn't get very far due to a lack of time.
One of the problems with these devices is that capturing the communication is a bit more challenging. The Liquivision application uses the FTDI D2XX driver and library to talk to the device. This means there is no virtual COM port and thus capturing the serial communication isn't possible as far as I know. The alternative is to capture the usb communication. But because usb is a lot more verbose then plain serial communication, the result is much more difficult to interpret. I also don't know any relative easy to use applications to capture usb communication (like a portmon equivalent for usb).
