Description

Inside <inputprofile> exact information concerning a descent profile (see also <calculateprofile>) is given, for which an ascent profile is to be calculated.

In principle it is possible to model a complete preceding dive profile with the corresponding <surfaceintervalbeforedive>, or to make a cross-reference to such a dive via <link/>.
