4 - Removed option 'ascent speed', ascent calculation is done with a fixed
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:

5 speed of 10 meters/minute now (equals the ascent speed limit by Bühlmann).

7 - Improved calculation accuracy of the initial ascent. Remark: this will
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release

8 have a slight impact on the resulting deco schedule compared to firmware

185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release

21 - The menu system around setting up the dive mode & settings has been
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:

22 decluttered. All settings are now sorted into the groups dive setup,

23 deco setup, SAC (gas needs) setup, ppO2 setup and stops & depths setup.

25 - There is a new option "Swap on empty" in Dive Setup -> SAC Setup.
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp

26 It is only effective if "CalcGas(B/O)" is switched on, too. If both

heinrichsweikamp

27 options are switched on, the deco calculation will switch to another

29 used up.
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp

30 This function can be used to automatically calculate a contingency in
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:
diff changeset
31 case of running out of a deco gas, as the deco calculation will then
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:

32 continue to calculate a deco making use of the spares from the another
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp

33 gases carried. Another application is with two or more tanks holding
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:
diff changeset
34 the same gas (i.e. independent double configuration, side-mount), as
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:
diff changeset
35 the calculations will then take the cumulative amount of gas carried
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:

36 into account before raising a gas needs attention or alarm.

38 - Fixed the urge of the better gas hint to always favor one specific gas
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:

39 out of a set of two or more gases that have the same change depth.

185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp

42 showing the tissue pressures and supersaturation levels as of at the
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release

46 not be set into the lost state any more.

51 - During loading of a new firmware the clock will not loose time any more
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp

52 (on old firmware it became late by about 15 sec on each firmware update).

54 - When run from a 3.6 V battery (either replaceable or built-in), the
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp

55 surface mode timeout is now extended to 4 minutes before going to sleep
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:

56 mode. If the OSTC is run from 1.5 V disposables, the timeout remains at
185ba2f91f59 3.09 beta 1 release
heinrichsweikamp
parents:
diff changeset
57 the previous 90 seconds to save on battery runtime.

60 the communication system (firmware uploading, dive data downloading)
