I opened this thread, as the previous one is a bit misleading as there is NO Trimix functionality in the new 4.0 firmware from Mares.
There are some apparent changes in it namely the design change.
(!) – denotes new functionality from v3.07
SETTINGS MENU
1. SET DIVE
(!) 1.2 MAX DEPTH – you can set an alarm for max depth now (10 – 56 m)
(!) 1.3 DIVE TIME – you can set an alarm for dive time now (20 – 60 min)
(!) 1.6.6 AUTOZERO RESET – requires Security code. I found a reference to autozero: "Reference pressure at the surface". So this resets it.
(1) 1.9 NIGHT MODE – sets night mode on/off. Black & white, higher contrast, less glare
(!) 1.13 FUTURE DECO
1.13.1 ASC + X – can set 3 – 10
1.13.1 RUNAWAY DECO – can set 2 - 4
When you enter the dive mode on the surface you can see the changes in the display which now has larger digits (icon01.jpg).
The button functions have also changed:
Button 1 (short) – Compass
Button 1 (long) – Dive menu (icon03.jpg)
AIR/NITROX – you can change your mixture mid dive
You can change the O2 %, and the ppO2 MAX and MOD are changed accordingly
LINKED MAP – displays the linked map you set in the settings before the dive
NIGHT MODE – change the day/night display mode (icon04.jpg)
MAX DEPTH – set the MAX DEPTH during the dive.
Button 2 (short) – Profile view
Button 3 (short) – Toggles between:
TEMP – STOPWATCH* – TIME – Icon battery – Probe battery – AVG DEPTH – l/min consumption
* - When STOPWATCH is selected button 2 gets a long press option, but it doesn’t do anything on the surface.
This button is available in profile display also
Button 4 (short) – back to the menu when on surface, don’t know what it does when during dive.
Button 4 (long) – displays tissue loading in all 10 compartments (icon02.jpg).
The other difference is that the tank on the right is drawn, but don’t know if that stays during the dive.
LOGBOOK:
There is a subtle change in the logbook display. In the stat display, the battery drain during the dive is shown (i.e. 92%-79%), as well as CNS loading (i.e. CNS 0%-4%)
The profile view is also changed, as the colour above the profile line is a lighter blue, and the yellow profile line is thicker. The default view is the red temperature line across. You can now press button number 4 to toggle between the temperature and the tank pressure during the dive.
PLANNER – You can change the SURF interval and individual depth for DECO and ASC time.
Also, Mares said that a new look will be available with a black rim around the display, but that there will be no differences in the hardware.
I’ll dive it this weekend and let you know what the other options shown during the dive are.
