When encountering problems with _CSV_ imports, first try with a smaller file to make sure everything works. +[[S_SmartTrakImport]] +==== Importing SmartTrak divelogs + +SmartTrak is a Windows based propietary software by Uwatec (today Scubapro). +It works through Access databases, which makes it difficult to integrate the +importer in _Subsurface_ core application, and stores the full raw data from +the DC along with a plethora of other data manually added by the user, ranging +from dive points to buddies data or DAN survey info. + +A little stand alone tool has been developed to import the .slg files +generated by SmartTrak to Subsurface's .xml format. It can be built together +with _Subsurface_ for linux systems. Two dependencies need to be installed in +your system before building: libglib2.0 and libmdb2. + +Assuming installed those dependencies and _Subsurface_ source tree placed in a +directory like ~/src/subsurface, then: + +*BUILDING* + +- Move to the source tree directory. +- Run " $ ccmake build " and set SMARTTRAK_IMPORT option to *on* (off by + default). +- Generate with [c] and save and exit with [g]. +- Build as you prefer, using build.sh script (recomended) or moving to build + directory and running make. +- After a successful build, there will be an executable in the build directory + named smtk2ssrf, copy or move it to a directory in your $PATH, e.g. ~/bin + +*RUNNING* + +smtk2ssrf accepts 0, 2 or more parameters. If it's launched without +parameters and you are on a graphical environment a simple window will be +displayed letting you choose the file(s) to import and a file to store the +subsurface formatted data. + +[icon="images/icons/warning2.png"] +[WARNING] +Previous data in the output file will be +erased, so *DO NOT* use your regular subsurface divelog file as output. It's +advisable to set a brand new file to do the import. + +If launched from command line with 2 or more parameters like: + + $ smrtk2ssrfc /input/file_1.slg /input/file_2.slg /output/file.xml + +Files file_1.slg and file_2.slg in input directory will be imported and stored +in file.xml in output directory. + +Check warning and error messages in console or graphical window, some may be +interesting, as support for Galileo and family DCs is still a work in +progress. + +*MERGING* + +Open the brand new imported file in _Subsurface_ and check the dives and data. +If everything is fine, close the .xml file and open your regular divelog. +Then from _Main menu_ select _Import -> Import log file_ and choose the +imported .xml file. The imported dives will show in the _Dive List_, time +ordered, along with the previous dives. +The new dives, although time ordered, will keep the numbering system from +SmartTrak, so a renumbering action is needed. See xref:S_Renumber[Renumbering +the dives] section in this manual for instructions about this topic. + === Importing Dive coordinates from a mobile device with GPS. |
