As I had my libdc simulator still running with Willems dataset I did the 
test. And yes, the dive time is correct now (so that is fixed by the 
revert).

But the 2nd issue (po2 graph) is different. I see a flat po2 line, 
obviously coming from setpoint data. And that is weird, as Willem said 
that it was a pSCR dive (that has no notion of setpoint). Changing the 
dive type to pSCR shows a more realistic po2 graph, but pretty shure 
that that is a Sbbsurface calculated po2, and not the measured one from 
the single sensor.

There, the "petrel" parameter was removed and replaced with the model number. But the purpose of that parameter is to indicate whether the data came from the petrel or the predator backend. And because the model number appears to be stored incorrect in Willem's data (zero instead of 2), the data gets indeed parsed using the petrel format.
