BAR GRAPHS
The OC1 features 2 bar graphs, one on each side of the LCD.
> The one on the left is dual function. It represents either
Nitrogen loading or Oxygen accumulation. The icons NI
and O2 identify which is displayed at that time.
> Throughout this manual, they are referred to as the NIBG or
TLBG (Tissue Loading Bar Graph) and O2BG.
> Regardless of which parameter the Bar Graph is
representing at the time, nitrogen and oxygen calculations
will continue to be performed in the background.
> The one on the right represents ascent rate. It is referred to
as the VARI (Variable Ascent Rate Indicator).
TLBG
The TLBG represents your relative No Deco (Fig. 66Aa) or Deco
status (Fig. 66Ba). The lower 4 segments represent No Deco
status and the fifth at the top indicates a Deco condition. As
your Depth and Elapsed Dive Time increase segments add, and
as you ascend segments recede, indicating that additional no
deco time is available.
The OC1 monitors 12 different nitrogen compartments simulta-
neously and the TLBG displays the one that is in control of your
dive at any given time.
