Clarification on CF18 and CF46
Posted: 22 Aug 2012, 01:26
Hello,
I've been asked for clarifications on CF18 and CF46.
Apparently the CF docs (at least English and French version) are not clear on the subject and need more explanations...
My understanding :
CF18 [0..1.6] has 3 effects :
* during gas configuration CF18, is used to compute the MOD according gas O2%
* during dive the current ppO2 is displayed or hidden according to this value
* for gas changes, gas that would lead to a ppO2 over CF18 are display in red in the gaslist
=> If set to 0, the ppO2 is always displayed but the MOD are stupid
CF46 [1.0..1.61] has also 2 effects :
* during gas configuration it changes the color of the ppO2 displayed along to the change depth if the ppO2 max is over-passed at that depth.
* It turns into the alarm color (red by default) the ppO2max if over-passed at the current depth.
if CF46<CF18, the current ppO2 is display directly in alarm color even if lower than CF18
Am I right ??
Are there any other effects of these params ?
