Feature request hwOS Tech: ADD +5

Post by Leonvank »

I'd like to ask for a feature to be added to the hwOS TECH.

It's a display that shows the amount of decompression olbigation in time, if the diver were to stay at that depth for an additional 5 minutes.

For example, right now we can see our current decompression obligation (e.g. 12' 6m). Is iti possible to add the ADitional Deco +5 minutes from now?

Example 12' 6m ADD+5 18' 6m or something similar

Thank you.

Hi Leovank,

A similar feature has existed for a long time, this is the fTTS (future time to surface). It is described int he user's manual in §4.4.1, page 19.

Kind regards.

Hello,

As far as I know, we actually implemented this function in a dive computer for the first time many years ago. In the meantime, it is represented in all other (reputable) manufacturers ;-)

Greetings,

To be preceise, the OSTC will show the "future" Total Time to Surface, but not the complete deco schedule for +5 mins (or whatever you set the look-ahaed time). Internally, during the calculation, these data are available, but they do not get published to the user interface (screen) due to no space avail and to not clutter der HMI with more pages that may confuse the diver in a stress situation.
