English
1.1 Glossary
AVG Average depth, calculated from the beginning of the dive or, in case of
gauge mode, from the time of reset.
CNS O
2
Central Nervous System oxygen toxicity.
DESAT Desaturation time. The time needed for the body to completely eliminate
any nitrogen taken up during diving.
Dive time The whole time spent below a depth of 0.8m/3ft.
IrDA Infrared Data Association, refers to the communication protocol between
dive computer and PC.
Max depth Maximum depth attained during the dive.
MB Microbubble. Microbubbles are tiny bubbles that can build up in a diver’s
body during and after a dive.
MB level One of the six steps, or levels, in UWATEC’s customizable algorithm.
MOD Maximum Operating Depth. This is the depth at which the partial pressure
of oxygen (ppO
2
) reaches the maximum allowed level (ppO
2
max). Diving
deeper than the MOD will expose the diver to unsafe ppO
2
levels.
Nitrox A breathing mix made of oxygen and nitrogen, with the oxygen
concentration being 22% or higher. In this manual, air is considered as a
particular type of Nitrox.
NO FLY Minimum amount of time the diver should wait before taking a plane.
No-stop time This is the time that you can stay at the current depth and still make a
direct ascent to the surface without having to perform decompression
stops.
O
2
Oxygen.
O
2
% Oxygen concentration used by the computer in all calculations.
ppO
2
Partial pressure of oxygen. This is the pressure of the oxygen in the
breathing mix. It is a function of depth and oxygen concentration. A ppO
2
higher than 1.6bar is considered dangerous.
ppO
2
max The maximum allowed value for ppO
2
. Together with the oxygen
concentration it defi nes the MOD.
Press The act of pressing and releasing one of the buttons.
Press and hold The act of pressing and holding one of the buttons for 1 second before
releasing it.
SOS mode The result of having completed a dive without respecting all mandatory
decompression obligations.
Stopwatch A stopwatch, for example to time certain legs of the dive.
SURF INT Surface interval, the time from the moment the dive is closed.
TAT Total ascent time, the time it takes to perform the ascent from your current
depth to the surface in a decompression dive, including all decompression
stops and assuming the ideal ascent rate.
UTC Universal Time Coordinated, refers to time zone changes when traveling.
