I am interested in using the workload feature on my Galileo Sol. But, the owner's manual does not explain how the computer alters the base deco algorithm in response to workload, either heart or respiration, or both, except to say that no stop times might suddenly decrease. For example, at what % increase over base heartrate does the adjustment kick in? what is the amount of the adjustment? Is it equivalent to a higher MB level becoming the mandatory deco algorithim, or is it something else? Does it vary (in other words, is there a single adjustment or mulitple adjustments as workload increases)?

In other words, is there a way I can predict what the adjustments will be at specified circumstances? Do the adjustments also appy in deco mode when doing deco profile dives?

Thanks,
