BAR GRAPHS
The DSX features three specific bar graphs.
1. The one on the left represents ascent rate. It is referred to as AR Bar Graph.
2. The one on the right represents No Decompression or Decompression status. It is referred to as the N2 Bar
Graph.
3. The DSX allows the diver to select an alternate No Decompression or Decompression status bar graph in place
of the N2 Bar Graph. It is referred to as the Gradient Factor Bar Graph.

Ascent Rate
ASC BAR GRAPH
The ASC Bar Graph provides a visual representation of ascent speed (i.e., an ascent speedometer). When the
ascent is faster than the recommended 30 fpm (9 mpm), all segments flash until the ascent is slowed.

N2 BAR GRAPH
The N2 Bar Graph represents your relative No Decompression or Decompression status. As your depth and
elapsed dive time increase, the bar graph will grow in length, shift from green to amber, and ultimately to red
(indicating a Decompression condition). As you ascend the bar graph recedes, indicating that additional No
Decompression time is available. The DSX monitors multiple theoretical nitrogen and helium (if diving trimix)
compartments simultaneously.
The N2 Bar Graph displays the the tissue compartment that is in control of your
dive at any given time.
GF (GRADIENT FACTOR) BAR GRAPH
The GF Bar Graph is an alternative setting to N2 Bar Graph. The GF Bar Graph represents the controlling
Gradient Factor and Deco Status accordingly.
The first bottom segment is bigger and it represents a tissue pressure of less than or equal to ambient pressure.
It is always green. Each segment of the middle section represent 5% of the gradient factor. Those segments are
colored according to the GF High and GF Low settings. The amber segments represent values between GF Low
and GF High set points. While the red segments meaning missed decompression represent values greater than
the current GF High setting.
