The Petrel (with updated firmware) supports an enhanced communication protocol, which is more efficient and powerfull than the legacy Predator compatibility mode. The new protocol uses data compression for faster transfers and supports the ability to selectively download individual dives. Last but not least, the new protocol isn't limited to the last 128kB of logbook data, but can access the full logbook capacity (16MB).
