Features
With the simulation software "DIVE" you could (with Version 2_9 and higher):
- simulate arbitrary Multi Level-dives with arbitrary AIR, NITROX or TRI- mixes
- check the saturation of 16 compartments (tissue groups)
- numerically, via a plotted output or save it as an ASCII file,
- to compare later on with the desktop deco-software from your dive computer
- arbitrary combinations of depth, time and SI (surface intervall)
- as well NDL tables from 6 - 63 m for any MIX
- "accelerated Deco" with unlimited gas changes
- everything will be put into a protocol file
- as well the %CNS-, OTU-Values and gas consumptions,
- surely enough you could change the SAC on every phase of the dive
- so this could be called a run time ...
- the O2 desaturation with the common accepted halftime of 90 min
- suggestions for optional various "deep stop" strategies,
- according the methods from Haldane (1907), Hills, B.A. (1968) or PDIS (2008)
- adaption of the respiratory coefficient Rq
- and the initial ambient pressure (mountain lake diving).
- There are standard deco prognoses, either with the coefficients from Buehlmann (1993) or from Dr. Max Hahn (2000).
- To account for the delayed desaturation through Micro Bubbles we have further
Decompression Methods, like:
- standard safety sur-charges, or increased compartment saturations
- like the COCHRAN Method resp. Suunto/Mares;
- as well there is a PMRC simulation; PMRC means:
- Proportional M-Value Reduction Concept of the DSL Laboratory from DAN / UWATEC (2001).
- as well Asymmetric Desaturation a la United States Navy
- and, also according to a USN method, the Oxygen Corrections Factors (NMRI 1998);
- Standard Gradientfaktors or VGM (Variable Gradient Method)
- a functional Right-to-Left Shunt during the SI (from 0 to 180 min)
- there are as well a couple of methods implemented to assess the risc of decompression sickness: P(DCS)
- and an expertmodus to change the Coefficient Matrix, i.e.:
- individual adaption of halftimes (Tau), a- and b- values, GF HI and GF LO of one or multiple compartments.
- This little tool just uses approx. 160 kB in any DOS emulation box.
