Bar Graph - Aeris Epic Operating Manual

BAR GRAPH

a
The PIC features one shared Bar Graph that represents either
nitrogen loading, or when accessed, oxygen accumulation. By
default the Bar Graph (Fig. 25a), referred to as the Nitrogen
Loading Bar Graph (NIBG), represents your relative no decom-
pression or decompression status.
As your Depth and lapsed Dive Time increase, segments will
add to the NIBG, and as you ascend to shallower depths, the
segments of the NIBG will begin to recede, indicating that
additional no decompression time is allowed.
The Nitrogen Loading Bar Graph monitors 12 different nitrogen
compartments simultaneously and displays the one that is in
control of your dive. It consists of 5 segments, the left 4 repre-
sent No Decompression status and the fifth at the right indicates
a
a Decompression condition.
When the PIC is set to operate in NORM Nitrox mode, the Bar
Graph will represent oxygen accumulation when the oxygen
data screen (Alternate Display) is accessed temporarily. The O2
icon (Fig. 26a) will appear as an indication.
Regardless of which parameter the Bar Graph is representing at
the time, nitrogen (if NORM or FR ) and oxygen (if NORM)
calculations will continue to be performed in the background.
