I just got the same thing, and my SAC rate was hugely worse than it
should be, because the end pressure for the dive was recorded as 1.94
bar, even though the *display* shows 108.05 bar. Small difference
between tank half full, and tank at ambient pressure.
And it turns out that the pressure reading of 1.94 bar is actually
technically correct, it's just that the Uemis downloader seems to have
changed. The end of that dive looks like this:
...
57:44 2.67m 109.68bar
57:47 2.67m 109.57bar
57:52 2.58m 109.48bar
58:00 2.56m 109.38bar
58:03 2.33m 109.24bar
58:08 2.37m 109.16bar
58:16 2.16m 109.05bar
58:19 1.89m 108.96bar
58:24 2.09m 108.88bar
58:27 2.13m
58:32 1.95m 108.78bar
58:40 1.57m 108.58bar
58:43 1.48m 108.49bar
58:48 0.0m
...
60:56 0.0m 108.0bar
60:59 0.0m 29.5°C 108.02bar
61:04 0.0m 108.03bar
61:06 0.0m 29.4°C
61:12 0.0m 29.5°C
61:20 0.0m 108.05bar
61:23 0.0m
61:28 0.0m 108.06bar cns=4%
61:36 0.0m
61:39 0.0m
61:44 0.0m
61:47 0.0m
61:52 0.0m 56.11bar

62:08 0.0m

ie I came to the *surface with 108 bar, but then a couple of minutes
later I turned off my air and depressurized the regulator. The Uemis
has helpfully saved all of that, and while we don't *display* the
surface events at the end, the "end pressure" calculations and the SAC
calculations do actually see it.
I *think* the old Uemis downloader used to just ignore pressure events
at the surface, because I don't recall having seen this before. So I
suspect it's actually your Uemis changes that caused this.
At the same time, I think we should just ignore the pressure data from
the surface. It's not meaningful, regardless of whether you
depressurize the regulator or not, since you'd presumably be breathing
the surface air, not from the cylinder. So surface time shouldn't
count towards the SAC, and likewise is meaningless for "end pressure"
as exemplified above.
So I'll fix the generic code, and we can let the Uemis downloader be.
