6. Analyst ® 5 Introduction Libraries Introduction When Analyst is first installed, the following seven Libraries are created:  Analyst Files LibraryUsed with all Editions  Divers LibraryUsed with Professional and Dive Teams Editions  Dive Sites LibraryUsed with Professional and Dive Teams Editions  Gas Switches LibraryUsed with all Editions  Dive Teams LibraryUsed with the Dive Teams Edition  Missions LibraryUsed with the Dive Teams Edition  Simulations LibraryUsed with Professional and Dive Teams Editions These Libraries are for the user’s convenience to store and retrieve commonly used files. If the name of a Library is changed, Analyst will create another one with no information inside. The Libraries are automatically placed as subfolders where the Analyst Application is located when first launched. © 2016 Cochran Consulting, Inc.

7. Analyst ® 5 Introduction The “Analyst Files Library” is where Analyst normally places a file created when a Dive Computer is attached to the PC and data is extracted. This file is referred to as an “Analyst File” or a “.can File”. The default file name consists of the first two characters of the Dive Computer Type followed by the six digit Serial Number of the attached unit followed by the file extension “.can” (which means Cochran Analyst File). However, when extracting data, a different file name can be entered, but this could create a problem if the new file name is not remembered. When extracting, if an existing file does NOT exist, a new one is created. If the file DOES exist, the new extracted data is appended onto the existing file. For example, if a file was previously created with 100 dives in it and the diver just did three new dives and then attached the unit, only the last three dives would be extracted and appended onto that existing file making the file be 103 dives long. However, if the diver changed the file name after extracting the 100 dives, Analyst will recognize that a new file must be created and make one with all 103 dives extracted for that new file. Continuously appending to an existing file is usually much faster than always creating a new one every time. The data within the Analyst File is encrypted so do not attempt to edit the file. Unrecoverable errors will occur. Analyst Files Library © 2016 Cochran Consulting, Inc.

8. Analyst ® 5 Introduction The “Divers Library” is where Analyst places each Divers personal information that was entered via the “Divers” Button on the Main Screen. This file is referred to as a “Divers File” or a “.dvr File”. The file name from the divers “Short Name” box in the Divers Entry Form with the extension of “.dvr” added. Changing a file name manually without changing it via the Divers Button can make the file inaccessible by Analyst. If Analyst is used by only one Diver, there may only be one name in the Library. However, multiple divers can be entered. The Diver Teams function gets its list of divers from this Library. This file is encrypted and can only be accessed by Analyst, and then has a Password that was created on the Divers entry form. The data within the Divers File is encrypted so do not attempt to edit the file. Unrecoverable errors will occur. Divers Library © 2016 Cochran Consulting, Inc.

When storing a Site, the name will be requested. Each Site file name will have the file extension “.sit” appended to it. While the data within the Team File is not encrypted, the precise placement and size of each data element is critical. Do not attempt to edit the file. Unrecoverable errors may occur.

14. Analyst ® 5 Introduction Attaching Analyst USB Module and Cable © 2016 Cochran Consulting, Inc. For the LIFEGUARD family of Hoseless units, turn the Cylinder Unit on its back so the three metal contacts are facing up. Mate the ANALYST cable assembly springs to those contacts. The ANALYST wire must be in the same direction as the high pressure transducer wire. Wrap the elastic cloth strap around the unit and tighten to hold the ANALYST cable assembly securely to the Cylinder Unit. Ensure that the other cable end is plugged into the desired USB Port on your PC. For 'WRIST Style' units such as the LIFEGUARD Receiver Unit, hold with the three contacts on the right side and the display can be read. Attach the ANALYST cable assembly so the three metal mating receptacles match. The wire should be pointing toward you. Wrap the cloth strap around the unit and tighten to hold the ANALYST cable assembly securely to the Cochran product. Ensure that the other cable end is plugged into the desired USB Port on your PC.
