GRAPHIC DIVER INTERFACE
™
Two different bar graphs are located around the perimeter of the
DataMax Sport LCD (Fig. 17). 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 of your no-
decompression status and ascent rate. 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
The semi-circular graph found on the perimeter of the display is the
Tissue Loading Bar Graph (Fig. 17a). It monitors twelve different tissue
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 four decompression “ceiling” zones of 10, 20, 30,
and 40 feet. By referring to the Tissue Loading Bar Graph, you can see a
visual representation of nitrogen absorption and use it to avoid or, if neces-
sary, manage decompression. The Tissue Loading Bar Graph holds U.S.
Patent No. 4,882,687.
WARNING - Oceanic advocates responsible diving practices and
does not recommend decompression diving or diving below 130 feet.
