CONFINED WATER PROTOCOL (Training Mode):
The COMMANDER is one of the first dive computers
to offer an operating mode designed to record and
store data from training dives. That is, dives
performed in shallow water environments (swimming
pools, shallow lakes, lagoons, etc.) or calm open
water environments that have less than 1-foot seas.
In the Training Mode, the COMMANDER
enters the
Dive Mode at a depth of 2 feet instead of 5 feet and
will exit the Dive Mode at 1 foot instead of 3 feet. Also
the Post Dive Surface Interval may be extended, via
the Analyst
®
, from 10 minutes up to a maximum of 30
minutes in 1-minute increments after which the dive
data is stored in the computer's memory. These
changes permit the Instructor to record the complete
training session, including in-water surface periods, as
a single dive.
The Training Mode can only be
enabled/disabled via the Professional Edition of
the Analyst
®
PC Interface.
TACLITE™: The COMMANDER is equipped with the
TACLITE™ tactical low-light fiber-optic backlighted
display. The standard TACLITE™ color is night vision
safe red, but it is also available in yellow for those
individuals who have vision difficulties with the color
red. The TACLITE™ can be activated on demand.
To turn the TACLITE™ on, tap the face of the
COMMANDER and the TACLITE™ will turn on for the
preprogrammed number of seconds (1 to 98), then
turn off. By tapping the face again the TACLITE™ will
turn on again. In this fashion the TACLITE™ can be
kept on for as long as wanted. If 0 is entered, the
TACLITE™ will never turn on. If 99 is entered, the
TACLITE™ will stay on continuously and only turn off
when the COMMANDER does. The number of
seconds that the TACLITE™ stays on can be set via
the Programming Mode or via the Analyst
®
PC
Interface, factory setting is 10 seconds. The
TACLITE™ will turn off when the COMMANDER turns
