2. Menus, settings and functions
2.9.2 Language
In this menu you can set the language used
for all texts displayed on the computer.
2.9.3 Start-up picture
(default: Galileo logo)
Galileo allows you to choose a picture
that will be displayed for 8 seconds upon
turning on the computer. In this menu you
choose the picture from those available in
the computer memory.
2.9.4 Units
You can choose to have the depth
displayed in meters or feet, the temperature
in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit
and the tank pressure in bar or psi.
2.9.5 Workload
At the base of any decompression
calculation there is the transport of nitrogen
from the lungs to the blood and from there
to the tissues during on-gassing, and the
same again in reverse during off-gassing.
As such it is obvious that the single most
important parameter in a decompression
calculation is the rate at which blood
travels through the body. During heavy
exercise, the total blood flow from the heart
can be up to 4 times higher than while at
rest. This increase in blood flow is rather
unevenly distributed, with some tissues
such as the
C entral N ervous S ystem and
the brain being unaffected, while others like
the muscles receiving up to ten times more
blood than at rest.
Galileo estimates the workload based on
changes in the breathing pattern as detected
by the hoseless high-pressure transmitter,
and the decompression calculation in 4
of the 8 compartments in the ZH-L8 ADT
model is changed accordingly. This menu
allows you to switch off the workload
estimation, in which case your Galileo will
behave like an UWATEC Aladin PRIME dive
computer.
2.9.6 Owner information
The information in this menu can only be
entered via the SmartTRAK software. A
maximum of twenty lines are allowed. You
can scroll through the text using the “

”
and “  ” buttons. The top two lines of this
information are displayed in surface mode
when there is no remaining desaturation
(see section 1.3).
