How to use GF on MK2

[Larscousteau]

Hello everbody..
I am now the lucky owner of the OSTC MK2 and have tryed to find out off how i can use the Gradient Factors/GF?
And can i use it while its in Buhlmann ZH-L16?
And i know it should me possibel to find out how to use the GF in the manuel but now i have read the manuel many times.
And look forward to hire from your
I will make a little movie with the OSTC MK2 in action and some pictures:-)

[Larscousteau]

hmm.. so no answers:-) then there must be many with the same probem:-)

you should change your decomodel to ZH-L16 GF OC or CC
after you changed the decomodel you have to set your GF high and low.

Hello,

I'm not sure if i really understand your question.

You can set the OSTC either to ZH-L16 or L16-GF both in OC and CC.
When you choose ZH-L16 the setting of CF32 and CF33 ( GF ) has no effect.
If you want to bring the GF-settings ( CF 32 + 33 ) into effect you have to choose L16-GF.

In the mode ZH-L16 the GF used to be displayed but not used for deco calculation.

The standard GF-setting is CF32 = 30 and CF33 = 90.
To generate a deeper first stop you have to reduce CF32 to 20 or 10.
To generate a longer last stop ( 3 or 6 Mtr. ) you have to reduce CF33 to e.g. 80.

You can also go the more dangerous route for less deco-time and more micro-bubbles ( or even real bubbles ) with setting CF32 to more then 30 and CF33 to more then 90 but then the OSTC will warn you with a dead mans skull symbol.

If this doesn't help try to explain your question more detailed.

hello reiner..
and thank you for your answer..
i can se that i could have explain it better , but you came into my problem:-)
but still i dont understand when you write:
reduce cf32 to 20 or 10
is it in the custom functions2? and then i have to change the current to 20 or 10?

[Steve]

indeed it's in the custom functions but if you don't understand what GF-factors mean i suggest you learn more about it first before changing the factors.

[Larscousteau]

Indeed i made this topic because thère is some thing i dont understand, and in my caise its how to set up the gradient factors.
I have never dived with a computer where its possibel to regulate the gradient, how Can i understand it if i cant control it/ ser it up.
So please keep to the topic and dont tell mé what or how i shall dive

Hello Larscosteau,

no need to be rude, we're just trying to help anyway.

If you want to change the gradient factors, use the custom functions (cf) 32 and 33 to a value you want.

In case you don't know what the gradient factors are influencing in your deco plan, you may read this article:

All the best

As i Can se i am not Rude and thar was not my plan to be it.
I made a topic because i cant find out of how to set the gradient factors?
And i am pleased with All the help i cant get and find the help from Sailor good and the link you just gave mé Ewatch.

There has already bin a topic on GF on this forum:

fun readings and like Steve said, learn more about it before you start in-water experimenting!

[Larscousteau]

once again thanks for the help.
And i have no plan of using it before i know any thing about it.
and the only way to get the knowlegde about it is bye asking and reading. and ii wont to control the computer i have to know how to "install it"

grtz
