Hi all,
I am Simon and i I am a blind diver. Unfortunately i can't see whats on my dive computer. So i plan to use it as a kind of logger or blackbox. unfortunately most of the applications which are coming with dive computers aren't much accessible to blind and visually impaired people. so i thought it might be interesting to use dctool to get the data out of the computer. i currently don't have a dive computer but i might get a suunto zoop novo. can i export dive data to csv or other format using dctool? i know that the computers measure all their parameters every few seconds. can i get that data out as well? so i can see how fast we where going down and do my own statistics.
Greetings and thanks, Simon

divecmd (https://kristaps.bsd.lv/divecmd) is built atop libdivecomputer and has all sorts of ways of sifting through data. Including a simple tool for converting to CSV. (Though the XML produced by default is well-documented.) I used dctool as a starting point for it.
It's UNIX only, however, and mostly built for freediving analysis.
Works for libdivecomputer 0.6.0, though I'll need to retool it somewhat for the coming version. (And will patch the manpages whilst doing so... ;))

Great! Updating the manpages was still on my todo list. But I'm sure you are much better at that than I am ;-)

dctool can export the dives to an xml file. If you need csv output, then you could try some conversion tool. Or modify dctool to output csv directly. That shouldn't be very difficult.

Hm. I'll see. I am not a good programmer so i might need some hints there. maybe someone could help out.
as a blind people you are always having the same problems with diving log software or dive computer software. most of them are completely or most of the parts inaccessible to screenreaders. so i need a way to get that data out of the dc somehow. good i understand that because there are not many blind people diving. *smile*
