Reports the battery state of Shearwater transmitters T3 and T4, alongside the existing T1 and T2. Implements subsurface/subsurface#5119.

What changes

  • In the LOG_RECORD_DIVE_SAMPLE_EXT tank pressure loop (log version 13 and later), the battery bits in the top 4 bits of the T3/T4 words are now accumulated into tank[id].battery instead of being masked off. As suggested in the issue, this happens inside the existing non-zero pressure check, as in the regular sample loop, so an unpaired or zero reading contributes no state.
  • The two hard-coded add_battery_info() calls are replaced by a loop over the four open-circuit slots, emitting T1 battery to T4 battery. The HP CCR slots (indices 4 and 5) are deliberately excluded: they carry no battery level, and in older logs they are filled from the same words as T1/T2.

The existing < 0xFFF0 special-code check and the add_battery_info() state mapping are reused unchanged.

Testing

  • New synthetic test test/test_shearwater_tank_battery.c (no device data). It builds minimal PNF logs and checks:

    • four transmitters with normal, critical, warning and normal states
    • special codes (0xFFFC, 0xFFFE) and a zero pressure report no state
    • log version 12, which has no extended record, reports only T1/T2
    • an HP CCR log at version 12 reports no transmitter battery strings

    It passes with this change and fails on T3/T4 without it.

  • Real logs: 84 Perdix 2 dives (log version 17) from my own Shearwater Cloud database. One dive used four transmitters; it now reports T1 battery = normal, T2 battery = warning, T3 battery = warning, T4 battery = normal, where previously T3 and T4 were missing. For the other 83 dives, the reported strings are identical before and after the change.

Once merged, Subsurface needs only a submodule update.

The change and test were written with Claude.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

  • Decode and report battery states for transmitters T1–T4. Exclude HP CCR slots.
  • Add synthetic tests for battery states and older log formats.

The parser only reported "T1 battery" and "T2 battery". It was written
when two transmitters were the most a Shearwater supported; current
models support four.

T3 and T4 pressures come from the extended sample record (log version
13 and later), which uses the same encoding as T1/T2 in the regular
sample record: battery level in the top 4 bits, pressure in the lower
12. The extended record loop masked the battery bits off and discarded
them. Accumulate them into tank[id].battery instead, inside the
non-zero pressure check as the regular loop does, so an unpaired or
zero reading contributes no state.

Report T1 to T4 from a loop over the four open-circuit slots only. The
HP CCR slots (indices 4 and 5) carry no battery level, and in older
logs they are filled from the same words as T1/T2, so they must not be
reported as "T5 battery" and "T6 battery".

Add a synthetic test covering four transmitters, special codes and a
zero pressure, a log version without the extended record, and an older
HP CCR log.

Walkthrough

Extended tank-pressure records now contribute battery state to tank data. Battery metadata generation covers T1–T4, except for HP CCR tank slots. A synthetic-log test checks battery strings and pressure, log-version, and mode cases.

Changes

Tank battery parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Decode and report tank battery state
src/shearwater_predator_parser.c
The parser extracts battery bits from extended tank-pressure records and accumulates them for the corresponding tank. Battery field generation covers T1–T4 and excludes HP CCR tank slots.
Build and run synthetic battery tests
test/test_shearwater_tank_battery.c, test/Makefile.am
The synthetic-log test checks T1–T4 battery strings, special pressure values, older log versions, and HP CCR behavior. The test is added to the check programs and test list.

What changed in this PR

Extends the Shearwater parser to report T3 and T4 transmitter battery states alongside T1 and T2, supporting the Subsurface request in issue #5119.

Changes:

  • Accumulates T3/T4 battery states from extended sample records while preserving special-code and zero-pressure filtering.
  • Reports battery strings for all four open-circuit transmitters, excluding HP CCR slots.
  • Adds synthetic regression tests covering battery states, invalid readings, older logs, and HP CCR behavior.
File Description
test/​test_shearwater_tank_battery.c Adds synthetic PNF tests for transmitter battery reporting.
test/​Makefile.am Registers the new test for building and execution.
src/​shearwater_predator_parser.c Extracts T3/T4 battery states and emits T1–T4 battery strings.

135-136: Low value

Use the descriptor only after the parser is created, and check how dc_descriptor_free behaves.

The code calls dc_descriptor_free right after dc_parser_new2. In this revision, dc_descriptor_free is a no-op, because the descriptors are static table entries. The test is therefore safe now. If descriptors become heap-allocated and the parser keeps a reference, this order can cause a use-after-free. No change is needed now.

Add a short comment to each helper function, as the automated review
asked for. Check for the exact "T5 battery" and "T6 battery" strings
rather than any string starting with "T" and containing "battery", and
drop an array that only duplicated another. Correct the comment on the
first case, which covers each of the three battery states across the
four transmitters.

No change to what is tested.

Test battery accumulation across extended records.

Add two valid extended records for the same transmitter, with critical followed by normal, and assert "critical". The current fixture would not detect a regression that replaces OR accumulation with assignment.

AI-drafted; reviewed by Michael.

Looks good to me. I checked the diff against the current parser source and the log format. I did not build or run the new test, and I did not check it against device logs.

  • T3/T4: the extended record holds the T3 and T4 words in the same format as T1/T2 (battery level in the top 4 bits, pressure in the lower 12, special codes above that range). Accumulating the battery bits as the regular loop does is correct, and special codes and a zero pressure add no state, as described.
  • HP CCR: in HP CCR mode (AI mode 4, log versions 12 and 13) the T1/T2 words carry the HP O2 and diluent pressures, and T3/T4 are not available. Reporting only T1 to T4 is therefore correct, and the log version 12 HP CCR test case reflects a real layout. From log version 14 the HP pressures are in the extended record at separate offsets, which this change does not touch.
  • The new test is registered in test/Makefile.am, and I found no other place where tests are listed.

One open point, not a request for changes: I could not establish what the T3/T4 words contain in an extended record where neither T3 nor T4 is enabled (for example, HP sensor logs from log version 14). The non-zero pressure check means zero and special values add no state. A stray non-zero value there would already have been treated as a tank pressure, and would now also produce a battery string.
