GRAPHIC DIVER INTERFACE
™
Three different bar graphs are located around the perimeter of the
DataMax Pro LCD (Fig. 19a). They are color coded green, yellow, and red to
denote normal, caution and danger zones, respectively. The Graphic Diver
Interface allows you to make quick status checks underwater on your no-
decompression status, ascent rate, and tank pressure. By keeping these bar
graphs “in the green” at all times, you'll greatly reduce your exposure to
decompression sickness. A detailed description of each graph follows.
Tissue Loading Bar Graph™- TLBG
The semicircular graph found at the top of the display is the TLBG. It
monitors twelve different compartments simultaneously and displays the one
that is highest. The TLBG is divided into three main sections; green No
Decom zone, yellow Caution Zone (C.Z.), and red decompression zone. The red
decompression zone is further divided into three decompression “ceiling”
zones of 10, 20, 30, and 40 feet. By referring to the TLBG, you can see a visual
representation of nitrogen absorption and use it to avoid, or easily manage,
decompression.
WARNING: Oceanic advocates responsible diving practices
consistent with your level of formal training and experience,
and does not recommend decompression diving or diving below
130 feet.
