Download using BTLE to Subsurface on Windows

[H Horwitz]

Thanks.  That’s challenging given there’s no removable battery on a Teric.   I’ll let the battery drain and check the software again in a few days. In the meantime i can test download by USB to windows.

I tried the same thing on a different laptop, a Toshiba, windows 10 enterprise, this time using 4.9.3 version of Subsurface.  I get the same error -- the device mount-point is shown, but a connection between the PC and the Dive Computer is never established.
