There is nothing about Uemis dive computers, just HW computers.

The process is quite simple:

1. Hook up your computer.
2. Choose the right device or mount point. (why does it talk about mount
points here when we don't support any "mount-point" devices here?)
3. Choose which model of computer you have. Supported ones are Ostc3,
Ostc 2 family (Ostc, Ostc mk2, Ostc 2, Ostc 2N and Ostc 2c) or
Suunto Vyper family of comptuters (Stinger, Mosquito, D3, Vyper, Vytec,
Cobra, Gekko and Zoop).
4. Click read, and wait for subsurface to read all the settings from
your device. This takes between 3 and 15 seconds depending on model.
( We should have a progress-bar here)
5. Change whatever you like to change on your device.
6. Click Save changes to device. This takes also about 3 to 15 seconds
too to write all the settings to your device.

You can also save your settings to a backup file, after you have read
them from your device. You can also restore your backup file to your
device by first reading the backup file and then saving it to your
device.

Could you share a stack trace / or other fault report?

The code _should_ work against the Stinger, but it's probably only me
that have tested it and thats against my Vyper, where it works great.
