One of the things to note is that Raimo had heard about the software problem and he bent himself on purpose (to get compensated) at least this is what I heard many years ago.

Suunto uses RGBM and not Bühlmann. It is not the full RGBM, though.

Uwatec has not published the algorithm, but I worked there many years ago. The above sentences is what Uwatec has told in public.

Bones have the longest time constant. In addition you need to consider the M value for the compartment and you can calculate the relative saturation. A dive computer like Uwatec Aladin Prime/Tec will show you the saturation of most saturated compartment. When the bar graph is 100% filled then...

I am very sad to hear about your diagnosis, just a couple of comments. The danger for a professional divers are silent bubbles. silent bubbles cause damage but you do not experience anything. Bubbles activate the immune system and cause a myriad of changes. Another matter of fact is that a lot...

It does. Niclas

313 is the register plate of the car of Donald Duck. FYI Niclas The 313 Car ! ! !

Did you dive with a buddy that also wore a heart rate chest strap? Currents can affect the data transfer, and they don't need to be very large. Niclas

Didn't know that Palm ever used dot matrix LCD technology, maybe a very long time ago. Today they are all TFT or similar newer technology and with the back light you get much better contrast. TFT together with back light use to much current to have in a non rechargeable device. Another...

IrDA is not well standardized and interoperability problems are common. If it doesn't work with Uwatec dongle(a standard dongle that they resell) then probably your computer is broke. Niclas

Dot matrix LCD (numbers consists of small dots) and customized LCD (numbers consists of big segments) are both Liquid Crystal Displays. Dot matrix is much more expensive as you many dots to drive and you need a separate controller. The advantage is that you are free to change layout as the...

I don't believe it's a Galileo next gen. The Galileo family consists of 3 models. Sol (=sun), Terra (=earth) and Luna (=moon). One is still missing and will complete the family. Niclas

Take a Viagra before the dive? :-) but it wouldn't be comfortable after dressing! Niclas

I agree with you that it would be interesting to be able to check code quality yourself. In practice this is not the way the industry work. We all have to make a living and somebody invested a lot of money to develop the code base. I don't know about other companies but Uwatec I know well...

I am just surprised how some thinks that having access the algorithm&code would change anything. Why could you tell anything about the safety by studying the code? What you need is access to the validation data. I do understand that it would be interesting to study the code but the code consists...

Yes, I agree with 4sak3n. Uwatec probably meant electromagnetic waves. I guess the marketing said that the word is too long and will make people confused. Can something be electric and magnetic at the same time? So all waves have a magnetic and electric component and this is required by...

You would need a small power plant to use radio waves. This is a kind of deeper technical issue. Anyway, The parameters are chosen so the system will work acceptable regardless how you mount, for the few persons that like to optimize everything it's interesting to know...Most books on...

IrDA is badly standardized. It's hell for all manufacturers... but IrDA is not with us for much long. Niclas

Hi coliseum, There are many rumours around Galileo but we have to wait and see. It's better not to listen too much and speculate about the rumours as only Uwatec can decide when they will release something. For Uwatec quality. maturity and safety goes before release schedules. As all...

The European models are all configured to use standard units(SI): kilo grams, meters and bars. The American models are pre-set for American units. I think that there could be a difference in language settings, too. No difference in hardware. In general in Europe the compensation has to be in...
