However, even the most demanding divers have been taken into consideration, those who use Nitrox mixes and want to de-saturate in greater safety, by using Nitrox mixes whilst ascending, or who want to use the instrument during free diving or technical dives.
The new software analyzes the data of 12 sample tissues (previously 9) for even more accurate monitoring of tissue saturation and de-saturation mechanisms.
The possibility of being able to use a second Nitrox mix during the same dive has now been introduced to faithfully monitor and assist those divers that prefer de-saturation with Nitrox mixes, a practice that offers greater safety to the dive and that is used by an increasingly large number of enthusiasts.
The first mix can contain a percentage of oxygen ranging from 21% (air) to 50%, the second between 21% and 99% (pure oxygen). The fraction of oxygen of both mixes is set on the surface, whilst the use of the two different mixes can be chosen at any time during the dive.
Naturally, the partial pressure of both of the mixes can also be selected in a wide range of between 1.0 and 1.6 bar.
Other new functions include the maximum depth indicator, which is now visible during decompression; the choice of three different Safety Factor levels; the ascent speed indicator (expanded); the temperature sensor (faster) and the display back-lighting (clearer).
Lastly, the all new GAUGE function, used both for free diving and technical dives, which selects just some of the instrument’s functions, such as instant and maximum depth, duration of the dive (in minutes and seconds), time and ascent speed. The operating range of the GAUGE function reaches depths of up to 200 metres.
PC Compatible Interface
(not available for Windows Vista or Windows 7)
A completely new interface both in terms of software and hardware.
The hardware uses a new clamp that is easy and quick to position onto the computer contacts, to download the data to the PC (USB port).
With the software you can create a comprehensive electronic logbook, with lots of information inserted automatically and other data that the user can insert manually.
There is also a sophisticated simulator for dives using air or hyper-oxygenated mixes, which makes it an extraordinarily effective educational tool.
