repetitiongroup

Occurrence

compulsory, multiple

Attributes

id=unique identifier for this repetitiongroup

Description

<repetitiongroup> puts dives into brackets which "belong together". "Belong together" means, all dives have a finite surface interval (except the first dive) — e.g. made during a diving holiday. The individual dives inside <repetitiongroup> are divided by <dive> elements.

Several <repetitiongroup> sections can appear one after the other inside an UDDF file. Inside a <repetitiongroup> section at least one <dive> element must be given. The first dive given inside <repetitiongroup> should have an "infinite" surface interval.

The attribute serves for the possibility to not only use cross-references to individual dives but for all dives "belonging together", for example dives made during a dive trip.
