Sorry I thought one thing and I wrote a completely different one.
I was speaking about real time average depth graph/value: instead of
drawing a meaningless straight average depth line, it would be useful
having a line who follow the average depth calculated at every sample.
I could find again who wrote that it was implemented and it (just) needed a UI.

Dirk, please do not misunderstand me. have you seen how much
attachments I added on the track ticket? I spent one day making test
and writing the ticket so it's not a generic statement. Nevertheless I
had a lot of fun doing it :)
I do not pretend anything of course.
I tried with different devices, all used as bottom timers, and I
always get the same result.

Bottom line is that I have to import all my devices before starting
entering data.
You could just close that ticket simply explicitly stating this in the
user manual.

I did not think to write a proposal. I was waiting to be able to reproduce this.
I will risk the firing squad later with my proposal :)

We will wait for Tomaz implementation :)
