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.

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.
