I am looking at this package with a view to making a better dive log for the ProPlus 2. In order to be able to do that I need to find some of the information that is not being parsed by the Oceanic parser now. By looking at the raw data for the sample data I have managed to find tissue loading, ascent warning and dive time remaining info. If I can find a couple of nitrox dives in my computer memory I should be able to find the nitrox related info with little trouble. One thing that is eluding me though is the starting and ending tank pressure. I'm assuming it must be in the dive header (since it isn't in the sample data) but I can't seem to find it. I am checking the first 40 bytes of the dive data. Is there someplace else I should be looking? Any help you can give me is appreciated.

The oceanic data format has a header and trailer block before and after the sample data. The starting and ending tank pressure is stored there. I should have more detailed info somewhere in my notes.
The goal is to have the data format nicely documented, but I just didn't have time for that so far :-(

I couldn't find it in the header. But the way they seem to steal bits from here and bits from there to patch information together I could look a long time and still not find it. I will try looking at the trailer too. If you could find it in your notes that would be super too. ;)

Documentation always seems to be the lowest priority. I understand completely.

I found this in my notes:
ATOM2 HEADER & FOOTER --------------------
3A FF pressure_begin_lo 3B FF pressure_begin_hi
4 FF maxdepth_lo 5 FF maxdepth_hi 6 FF temperature 8 FF pressure_end_lo 9 FF pressure_end_hi
First column is the offset from the start of the header/footer and second column is the byte mask.

If you figure out more info, let us know. One day it will end up in the documentation :-)
