SurfaceInterval Sensus Pro Info

The Sensus Pro Info window provides device specific information for Sensus Pro dive logging devices. The information provided includes:

  • Computer Model - This is the model number of the device from which this information was captured.
  • Serial Number - This is the unique factory registered identification for this device.
  • Firmware - The version number for the internal software on the device.
  • Manufactured - The date on which the device was manufactured. SurfaceInterval uses this value to calculate dive start time/dates by comparing it against your Macintosh's notion of the date and time at the beginning of each dive. You can get more information regarding time calculations by clicking here.
  • Dive Count - The number of dives this device has encountered. Note that this value does not represent the number of dives currently logged in the device, since the Sensus Pro does not have unlimited memory. Rather it is the total number of dives since it was manufactured.
  • Battery Level - This is the voltage of the internal battery within the Sensus Pro device. The battery starts out at a nominal 3 volts (d.c.) at the factory. The value in this field is updated every time you download from the device, so if you haven't downloaded in a while, it may not be entirely accurate. Another important consideration is that the battery does not discharge at a linear rate. It is impossible to calculate the remaining battery life based on the current battery voltage.
  • Sample Interval - The Sensus Pro collects depth and temperature info at the periodic rate specified by this value.
  • Read button - The information in the top panel is automatically updated whenever you download dive information from the device. However, there may be times when you wish to refresh the information based on current conditions. Hitting the Read button accomplishes this. This is a quick way to check the current battery level. Given the finite amount of memory in the Sensus Pro, the longer the Sample Interval, the more dives can be stored in the Sensus Pro at any given time. However, longer intervals, will decrease the resolution of the graph data that will be displayed for each dive entry downloaded. Once the Sensus Pro's memory is filled, it will begin overwriting earlier dives, beginning with the oldest.


You'll notice a set of up and down arrows adjacent to the Sample Interval field. The Sample Interval is the only value which is updatable on the Sensus Pro. To update the Sample Interval, simply adjust the arrows to select the number of seconds between samples, and hit the update button.

Finally, the Factory Defaults button restores the Interval setting to its default value of 10 seconds.
