1.1 Glossary
AVG Average depth, calculated from the beginning of the dive or, in case of
gauge mode, from the time of reset.
BPM Beats per minute, refers to the heart rate.
CNS O
2
Central Nervous System oxygen toxicity.
DESAT Desaturation time. The time needed for the body to completely eliminate
any nitrogen taken up during diving.
Dive time The whole time spent below a depth of 0.8m/3ft.
Gas integration The feature in Galileo to include tank pressure information in its calculations
and to display it on the computer screen.
Gas switching The act of changing from one breathing gas to another.
IrDA Infrared Data Association, refers to the communication protocol between
dive computer and PC.
Max depth Maximum depth attained during the dive.
MB Microbubble. Microbubbles are tiny bubbles that can build up in a diver’s
body during and after a dive.
MB level One of the six steps, or levels, in UWATEC’s customizable algorithm.
MOD Maximum Operating Depth. This is the depth at which the partial pressure
of oxygen (ppO
2
) reaches the maximum allowed level (ppO
2
max). Diving
deeper than the MOD will expose the diver to unsafe ppO
2
levels.
Multi gas Refers to a dive in which more than one breathing gas is used (air and/or
Nitrox).
Nitrox A breathing mix made of oxygen and nitrogen, with the oxygen
concentration being 22% or higher. In this manual, air is considered as a
particular type of Nitrox.
NO FLY Minimum amount of time the diver should wait before taking a plane.
No-stop time This is the time that you can stay at the current depth and still make a direct
ascent to the surface without having to perform decompression stops.
O
2
Oxygen.
O
2
% Oxygen concentration used by the computer in all calculations.
Pairing The act of establishing a coded RF communication between Galileo and
a high pressure transmitter.
PMG Predictive Multi Gas, refers to the algorithm capable of including up to
three different Nitrox mixes in its decompression calculations.
ppO
2
Partial pressure of oxygen. This is the pressure of the oxygen in the
breathing mix. It is a function of depth and oxygen concentration. A ppO
2
higher than 1.6bar is considered dangerous.
ppO
2
max The maximum allowed value for ppO
2
. Together with the oxygen
concentration it defi nes the MOD.
Press The act of pressing and releasing one of the buttons.
Press and hold The act of pressing and holding one of the buttons for 1 second before
releasing it.
