WARNING: Altitude compensation provided by the Data100 takes place when the unit is
activated. DO NOT dive at any different altitude until the Data100 shuts off and will
recalibrate when reactivated at the new altitude.
MULTIPLE TISSUE TRACKING
The Data100 tracks twelve tissue compartments with half times ranging from 5 to 480 minutes. The TLBG
always displays the controlling compartment that is the only one important at that time. Think of the TLBG as
twelve separate transparent displays laid on top of one another (Fig. 52, page 63). The tissue compartment that
has filled up fastest is the only one the viewer can see from the top.
At any particular point, one tissue compartment may be absorbing nitrogen, while another that was previously
higher may be 'off gassing'. Figure 53, page 63, illustrates the point at which one compartment “hands over”
control to another at a different depth. This feature of the Decompression Model is the basis of multilevel
diving, one of the most important contributions the Data100 offers you. Take advantage of this feature and
make all of your dives multilevel dives.
