I've seen them in a webshop once or so, but browsing there site, i noted that the dive club in Luleå own there helium analyzer. Its a neat piece of gear. It consumes 9V batteries like king-kong would eat bananas, thats probably the only fault i can see with it. Just looking at the file it with xxd, it looks promising. Fist 32 bytes looks like a header, and then the first byte of each 16 byte block is a 16 bit sequence/time in little endian. > 1) Does anybody have an idea how to decode it? After a tad of research there own web based service http://wetnotes.com/ cal decode the logs, and according to there website http://www.divinglog.de/ , divinglog can decode it to. I guess John likes doing such work, so he might have some ideas on how to go about. > 2) Has anybody contacted the manufacturer before?
