You have your NDL, why do you need a bar graph?New to Shearwater computers. Noticed the Teric doesn’t have the typical nitrogen load bar graphic. Is the tissue bar graph the replacement for this data?

You also have planning function for your next dive.Use it on the surface as a guage of overall nitrogen load.
One of the reasons I bought the Perdox is it's inclusion of the tissues bar graph. It gives me a good graphic of how nitrogen buildup works. But its display is real time and dependent on depth, while the more traditional nitrogen loading display gives more of a projection of your nitrogen load relative to atmospheric pressure at the surface. Shearwater's 12 compartment graph gives no direct indication of what your n2 saturation will be as you ascend. I know that Shearwater's Surf GF now fulfills this function, but I like the old tissue loading graphic as giving an easily understood indicator, along with NDL. My only complaint is most computers do not have enough resolution in their loading displays, having only 5 or 6 segments.Hi, @hppkmpr . The tissue bar graph gives you more detailed, granular information than what a single dimensional nitrogen load graph would. You can configure your Teric to have the tissue graph displaying on your Teric home screen. The video below will show you more details about the tissue graph. Cheers.
