| BAR GRAPH |
|
|
| The GEO features one shared Bar Graph that represents either |
|
|
| nitrogen loading, or when accessed, oxygen accumulation. By |
|
|
| default, the Bar Graph (Fig. 23a), referred to as the Tissue |
|
|
| Loading Bar Graph (TLBG), represents your relative no decom- |
|
|
| pression or decompression status. |
| Fig. 23 - TLBG |
| As your Depth and Elapsed Dive Time increase, segments will |
|
|
| |
|
|
| add to the TLBG, and as you ascend to shallower depths, the |
|
|
| segments of the TLBG will begin to recede, indicating that |
|
|
| additional no decompression time is allowed. |
|
|
| The Tissue Loading Bar Graph monitors 12 different nitrogen |
|
|
| compartments simultaneously and displays the one that is in |
|
|
| control of your dive. It consists of 5 segments, the left 4 |
|
|
| represent No Decompression status and the fifth at the right |
|
|
| indicates a Decompression condition. |
|
|
| When the GEO is set to operate in NORM Nitrox mode, the |
|
| a | Bar Graph will represent oxygen accumulation when the O2 |
|
| data screen (Alternate Display) is accessed temporarily. The | |
|
|
| |
|
|
| graphic O2BG will appear as an indication (Fig. 24a). |
Regardless of which parameter the Bar Graph is representing at the time, nitrogen (if NORM or FREE) and oxygen (if NORM) calculations will continue to be performed in the background.
