Subsurface offers many advantages over +other similar software solutions, including compatibility with Windows, +Mac-OS/X, Linux (many distributions), Android and iOS. In addition, +Subsurface is open-source software that allows downloading dive +information from many dive computers.

1. Présentation de Subsurface-mobile

Subsurface-mobile est une extension de Subsurface qui fonctionne sur les -smartphones Android et iOS et sur les tablettes. C’est un outil pour -visualiser et partager des informations de plongées sur des sites de -plongées où un ordinateur n’est pas utile. Subsurface-mobile permet -également de collecter des positions GPS où sont effectuées les +

Subsurface-mobile est une version mobile limitée de Subsurface qui vise +les smartphones Android et iOS et sur les tablettes, qui permet de +visualiser, entrer, partager et stocker des informations de plongées sur les +sites de plongées où un ordinateur n’est pas utile. Alors que la version de +Subsurface pour ordinateur affiche bien plus d’informations détaillées +pour chaque plongée, la version mobile permet un accès facilité lors sur un +voyage de plongées, utile pour prouver une experience de plongées aux clubs +ou pour revoir les plongées précédentes. Subsurface-mobile pour Android +permet également de collecter des positions GPS où sont effectuées les plongées. (Subsurface-mobile pour iOS ne supporte pas toutes les fonctions pour le moment).

-

Subsurface-mobile allows you to enter and save dive information using a -mobile device. Users of Subsurface-mobile typically use the mobile app as -an extension to the laptop/desktop version of Subsurface that allows the -storage of dive logs on the Internet and sharing them between the mobile and -the desktop versions. But Subsurface-mobile can also be used independently -of Subsurface and does not require the use of cloud storage. While the -desktop version of Subsurface shows much more detailed information for -each dive, the mobile version allows a more accessible dive log on a dive -trip, useful for proving dive experience to dive shops or to review previous -dives.

-

Subsurface-mobile allows you to:

+

Les utilisateurs de Subsurface-mobile utilisent habituellement +l’application mobile en tant que compagnon de la version de Subsurface +pour ordinateur, partageant les informations de plongées entre les versions +mobile et de bureau. Cependant, Subsurface-mobile peut également être +utilisée de façon indépendante de la version de bureau et ne requiert pas +l’utilisation du stockage cloud.

+

Subsurface-mobile permet de :

  • -Download existing dive log information from the Internet. +Télécharger et stocker les informations de plongées en utilisant le cloud + Subsurface.

  • -View this information on a mobile device. +Visualiser ces informations sur un périphérique nomade.

  • -Edit many of the dive log data fields, e.g. divemaster, buddy, equipment or - notes about a dive. +Créer et ajouter manuellement de nouvelles plongées à votre carnet de + plongées.

  • -Manually create and add new dive records to your dive log. +Télécharger des données de plongées directement depuis plusieurs ordinateurs + de plongées.

  • -Download dive data directly from many dive computers. +Modifier de nombreux champs des données de plongées, comme le moniteur, le + binôme, l'équipement ou les notes relatives à la plongée.

  • -Store the updated dive log in the Subsurface cloud storage. +Enregistrer, stocker et appliquer des positions GPS des plongées (Uniquement + sous Android).

-

These items are discussed in greater detail in the following text. -Subsurface-mobile does not yet support download of dive data from all the -dive computers that the desktop/laptop version can: that still needs to be -done using Subsurface on a desktop or laptop computer. Only a subset of -dive computers that use a FTDI USB interface or a Bluetooth/BTLE interface -are accessible by Subsurface-mobile.

+

Ces points sont détaillés dans la suite du manuel. Subsurface-mobile ne +supporte pas encore le téléchargement des données de plongées depuis tous +les ordinateurs de plongées que supporte la version de bureau. Seule une +partie des ordinateurs de plongées utilisant une interface USB FTDI ou une +interface Bluetooth/BTLE sont accessibles depuis Subsurface-mobile.

2. Installer Subsurface-mobile sur votre périphérique nomade

-

Find Subsurface-mobile in the Google Play Store or the iTunes Store -and install it.

+

Vous trouverez Subsurface-mobile dans Google Play Store ou sur iTunes +Store d’où vous pourrez les installer. Veuillez boter que les deux +contiennent également l’ancienne application Subsurface companion +(utilisée uniquement pour enregistrer les points GPS).

3. Using Subsurface-mobile for the first time

+

3. Utiliser Subsurface-mobile pour la première fois

-

Upon starting Subsurface-mobile for the first time, a Subsurface splash -screen is shown while the program loads. On some devices this may take -several seconds. After loading, the Cloud Credentials screen appears (see -image below on left).

-

Select whether Subsurface-mobile should access the Internet for dive log -information as follows:

+

Lorsque vous exécutez Subsurface-mobile pour la première fois, un écran +d’accueil Subsurface est affiché pendant le chargement. Sur certains +périphériques, cela peut prendre plusieurs secondes. Après le chargement, +l'écran d’informations de connexion au cloud apparait (voir l’image +ci-dessous, à gauche).

+log information is stored on the mobile device only. If no dives have been +entered into the dive log yet (the usual case), then a an empty dive log is +created.

3.2. Using Cloud Storage

-

In order to use the Subsurface cloud storage, an account on the cloud -server is required. If you have already set up an account from the -Subsurface desktop application, enter the credentials here.

-

You can also create a new cloud storage account from your mobile device.

-
-

3.2.1. Using the desktop version of Subsurface:

-

Open the desktop version of Subsurface and -click File → Preferences → Network, explained in detail in the -user -manual for the Subsurface desktop version. Once the account has -been created and verified using the desktop version, -Subsurface desktop alows you to download dive information from dive computers and store this -on the cloud which can, in turn, be downloaded to Subsurface-mobile. Subsurface-mobile -attempts to download the existing dive log from the Subsurface cloud -server. Appropriate messages are shown onscreen. Finally a list of dives is shown.

-

Once the dive list has been downloaded from the Internet, -Subsurface-mobile keeps a local copy on the mobile device. This means that -even if there is no Internet connection at a dive site, you can still access -the local copy and view and manipulate dive information. If there is -Internet connectivity, Subsurface-mobile accesses the cloud-based dive log -to verify that the local copy is still the same as the Internet-stored -copy. If not, the local copy and the copy on the server are synchronised.

3.2.2. Using Subsurface-mobile:

+

A free Internet cloud storage account can be used for storing dive log +information. This cloud storage account can be created either from +Subsurface on the desktop or Subsurface-mobile using a mobile device; in +fact, you can do full maintenance of a dive log from Subsurface-mobile +alone. On the other hand, if you share credentials between +Subsurface-mobile and Subsurface for desktop, through the Subsurface +cloud storage your dive log can be shared by both devices.

+

The dive data are cached both on the mobile device as well as on the desktop +- it is easy to create backups of the data (for example in XML format) on +the desktop, and both mobile device and desktop keep a local copy of the +data so that the dive log is always accessible, even without Internet +connection. The Subsurface team never accesses a user’s dive data without +explicit permission to do so, the data are not used for any purpose other +than providing them to the user who created them. There are no ads and no +harvesting / analysis of the data stored in the Subsurface cloud storage.

Enter an e-mail address and a password in the fields indicated on the -screen. The e-mail should be in lower case and the password should contain -a combination of letters from the alphabet (upper and lower case) and/or -numbers. When entering a password, it is possible to check a checkbox that -enables the text of the password to be shown (image on left, above). At this -stage, the red message "Cannot connect to cloud storage" appears on the -screen. This is normal because a valid PIN has not yet been provided (image -on left, above).

-

Tap the Disk (Save) icon at the bottom of the screen. A PIN is sent to the -e-mail address provided.

-

Enter the PIN into the field indicated and tap the Save icon again. The -user information is stored on the cloud server and access to the cloud is -enabled.

Tap the "Sign-in or Register" button. If you have already +set up an account from the Subsurface desktop application, enter the same +credentials here. Once the dive list has been downloaded from the cloud, +Subsurface-mobile usually works only with the the local copy on the mobile +device. This avoids long delays or even failure of operations if there is a +bad (or no) internet connection, a situation fairly common at many dive +sites.

+

If this is a new account, a PIN screen will open (see image on right, +above). A PIN is e-mailed to the email address entered in the previous +step. Enter this PIN into the field indicated and tap the Register +button. The user information is stored on the cloud server and access to the +cloud is enabled. In this case the dive list is initially empty. Start +entering dives in the dive log or download dive information from a supported +dive computer.

The dive log can be updated automatically. If there is Internet +connectivity, Subsurface-mobile accesses the cloud-based dive log to +verify that the local copy of the dive log is still the same as the log in +the cloud server. If not, the local copy and the copy on the server are +synchronized.

12.6. Applying GPS data to dives in the dive log

Assuming that all the dives have been entered into the dive log or have been -downloaded from the Subsurface cloud, you can apply the GPS positions to -these dives. GPS positions can therefore only be applied to dives in the -dive list. From the GPS subpanel, tap GPS-tag dives. The dive list -contains the start and end times of each dive. Now, Subsurface-mobile +downloaded from the Subsurface cloud, apply the GPS positions to these +dives. GPS positions can therefore only be applied to dives in the dive +list.
