1.2 Dive computer
UWATEC dive computers of the Aladin family and compatible
instruments save the logbook data of your dives in an internal
logbook. More dives are saved than are displayed in the
logbook of the instrument. In addition, the current dives are
stored in detail with a dive profile in 20-seconds increments.
When the profile memory is full, the oldest profile data are
overwritten. Please consult your dive computer operating
manual for detail edinformation he logbook and profile memories of your instrument.

data of the last 37 dives. The most current dives up to a maximum of 200 dive minutes (e.g.
4 dives each of 50 minutes’ duration) are saved in detail with a dive profile in 20-seconds
increments. Air-integrated and Nitrox dive computers also save information about gas mixture,
CNS activity and air consumption.
1.3 Memo Mouse
Memo Mouse is the link (interface) between dive computer and personal computer, and its
integrated software allows the data transfer with DataTrak and DataTalk.
But Memo Mouse means a lot more
Memo Mouse is a temporal memory for your
dive data which stores detailed data and dive
profiles of up to 66 one hourdives. This allows
you to store your dive data even if you have
no access to your personal computer over a
longer period of time. This is especially important for dive holidays.
• The stored data are transferred from Memo Mouse to your personal computer.
• Memo Mouse recognizes all compatible dive computers. It also discriminates between
individual dive computers and transfers this information to your logbook.
• You can store data of more than one dive computer in the same Memo Mouse. In order to
transfer the contents of the memory from the Memo Mouse to your personal computer a
dive computer must be connected. Memo Mouse only transfers the data of the connected
dive computer.

• If data of different dive computers are stored in Memo Mouse, the data transfer procedure
has to be carried out separately for each dive computer. This allows you to store the data
of different dive computers in different logbooks.

Page 37 Manually enter in the logbook dives which are not stored in your dive computer.
Page 30 You can keep more than one logbook with DataTrak. Each logbook is saved under a name
of its own.
Page 40 The dives are always listed correctly in respect of date and time.
Page 38 You can select your dives in respect of certain criteria.
Page 37 DataTrak keeps statistics of your dives.
Page 41 Your dives are represented graphically in the form of dive profiles if they are imported from
the dive computer regularly. In addition, the display indications, physiological data and tissue
data of the whole dive are displayed.
Page 48 These instruments of analysis are especially suited for training purposes and for the improve-
ment of the personal diving technique, since the exact reconstruction of dives allows conclusions
about the individual actions in specific situations. DataTrak also offers an important and helpful
means for the investigation of diving incidents.
Page 31 Have of surveys dive data and dive profiles printed out in a very simple manner.
Page 10 – DataTrak
1.5 DataTalk for Windows
DataTalk is a service programme allowing you to adjustthe basic settings of yourdive computer
to your personal needs. The adjustable settings depend on the type of dive computer you use.
Air-integrated computers
also have adjustable
reserve pressure settings
and sensitivity control for
the overexertion warning.
Nitrox computers also
have an adjustable maxi-
mum oxygen partial
pressure value.
1.6 Older versions of DataTrak and Memo Mouse
What’s new?
1.6.1
DataTrak for Windows nowoffers, as opposed to the previous DOS versions, all the advantages
of Windows applications. In addition to the considerably simpler operation and the windows
style, there are also set-up advantages:
8 The programme ought to recognise automatically the serial port where the Memo Mouse is
connected. There is no need to input settings concerning the port. Only connect the Memo
Mouse to an available port, and on you go!
8 Any kind of printer supported by Windows prints out logbook data.
8 Compared to previous versions of DataTrak, additional functions have been installed: Dives
of other DataTrak logbooks may be imported. You also choose and export dives from your
logbooks.
Survey
All dive computers can be switched from the
display of metric units (metre/bar) to imperial
units (feet/psi). All instruments that have acoustic warnings as well as visual warnings can
have the acoustic warnings switched off.
Page 11 – DataTrak
Survey
8 You can select several dives in the dive list. Printing, export of dives and statistics are then
limited to this selection.
1.6.2
Taking over logbooks from older versions of DataTrak
Logbooks which were written in DataTrak for DOS can be imported into DataTrak for Windows.
1.6.3
Older Memo Mouse versions
The newly developed Memo Mouse and the software package DataTrak/DataTalkfor Windows
are an integrated package.
No data can be transferred to DataTrak for Windows with the previous DOS version of Memo
s
Mouse. Equally, the DOS versions of DataTrak/DataTalk cannot process data from the new
Memo Mouse.
