Downloader for Nitek Plus ??

If I can get a working dock for my nitek plus, then I might make a great deal on the duo cable......

Anyone have a duo downloader laying around? I've got a Cressi Archimede II and can't justify buying the cable for it... It is a pain to check through it manually, but oh well. Never used the software, but can you plug in all of the gas mixes and what not from the computer or is that all still done via buttons?

I have a Nitek Duo and the download cable. You can not program the settings on the PC and then upload them into the dive computer.

I believe that Nitek Logic s/w supports downloads from Duo, Trio, and Plus. However the cables are all different.

As an aside, I have always found downloading the Duo to be a pain due in part to the cradle, and due to the actual s/w itself. I also seem to recall the download for the duo being dependent on the order of starting the app, plugging in the cradle and seating the duo in the cradle. Can't quite recall what I found to work best.

I have experienced the same thing. It takes 10 minutes of screwing around with the cable before the software will recognize the dive computer.

FWIW, I believe this is actually the s/w for the Tusa branded version, although I suppose it works with any of the Duo clones

Yes, Seiko was the OEM for the same dive computer sold under a bunch of different brands. They all used the same software, but I was not sure if the Plus used it as well.

Looking at the Dive Rite website the download files are different for the plus and duo.

I have had issues with the Duo download cable and software from day one. I know DR and Tusa has dropped the Seiko line of computers. Zeagle is still selling the computer and download cable to unsuspecting customers. They are well aware of the issues and know the product does not work as advertised. I am very happy with the Duo as a dive computer. I am not satisfied at all with the expensive download cable and software that does not work as advertised. On the other hand, my Predator has exceeded all expectations. The included download wireless adaptor works like a champ.
