I don't know how I could change manually this number. In my laptop I have four USB ports and every one is ...

I've the same problem as PeterK. Other applications (tinybldWin and DivingLog) connected to my OSTC via USB reported as COM24, but OSTC Planner reports "Connecting COM24 FAILED: ..." (and for other COM ports too).
My environment is Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.

It's true - but only if mix 28|0 means 28% He and 0% 02

Feature? Like this?...

On last Friday after dive I had this desaturation diagram. Numeric value (lead tissue saturation percentage) was 80%, but some lines/tissues was longer - up to (about) 100%. As I understand - lead tissue is a most saturated tissue and numeric value should have been 100.

Thanks for suggestion, it works!
But with different result (for 986 mbar) - my deco time is 7 minutes shorter.

For 42m, 27min, GF20/80 and air I got "No deco". Very interesting result.

nakatomi is right, this problem still occurs in 1.83 version too, but now average depth begins to decrease after more than 3 minutes (for my example: GF model, 90 meters depth).

Or auto-magically: if given consumption of gas is less than 10 (or 9 or 12 or ...) - it is defined in the bar/min, and if more - is ...

Interesting results for the average depth during simulated dive to 90 meters:

Elapsed | Current | Average
Time | depth | depth
[m:s] | [m] | [m]

1:40 | 90 | 85,5 (!!!)

... and as your backup comp was second OSTC with next 1.84 beta

Difference between 1.00 and 1.03 salinity settings is 3%, difference between 48m and 54m is around 12%. I think that salinity calibration is not a main cause of this effect.

This is my question (and suggestion) too. I's possible to show GF after deco is finished and GF >= CF8 ("threshold in ...

Oh, my mistake, sorry!
But my proposal for CF32 and CF33 (!) is still topical.

Surface mode: when the altimeter function is OFF, we have a blank place between CF values and tissue graph. It is a bug?
It requires one press more to go to the next function.

Set Altimeter: Maybe new fuction to quick (re)set sea ref. to current pressure value? Useful on sea level.

A few of my observations after checking of this version in the simulation mode:

1) Decoplan (in simulator) now shows decostops in ascending order (the first - the shallowest, the last - the deepest), in earlier versions (1.60, 1.70?) was the opposite, for me more naturally, in accordance with ...

I understand, this makes my comp unique and recognizable. I appreciate it, because I don't have this function (and place!) in my Suunto Vytec. I suggested to increase this functionality ...

I'm new user of OSTC and I don't know previous versions of firmware. If GF's disappeared on main screen - is't a bug or intention?

You are right. I still think that GF's values are fundamental information (for OC GF model).

Hello Mathias,
definable custom text or menu on ENTER button in the surface mode - both ideas are the shorter way to show and check critical settings than wander around in the all menu. ;)
In my opinion static custom text isn't very practical function and here is a place for a new ideas.

Anyway ...
