Greg,
I believe I understand you question but even if you could
Strip the raw data from a download, why would you and what would you do with it?
As an example I’m sure you are familiar with Scuba Pro/
Uwatec’s Smartrak. Using an infra-red link the dive data is loaded into the smartrack software interface and even provides Dan template data. The smartrak software is just great, with graph and custom set-ups. So basically one click and you’re done.
So just out of curiosity if you could strip out some raw data in a discernable format what more could you do with it long hand that’s not already being done for you with Smartrak?
