Oceanic ATOM 2.0 Manual De Usuario

BAR GRAPH

The ATOM features one shared Bar Graph that represents either

nitrogen loading, or when accessed, oxygen accumulation. By

default the Bar Graph (Fig. 25a), referred to as the Tissue

Loading Bar Graph (TLBG), represents your relative no decom-

pression or decompression status.

As your Depth and Elapsed Dive Time increase, segments will

add to the TLBG, and as you ascend to shallower depths, the

segments of the TLBG will begin to recede, indicating that

additional no decompression time is allowed.

The Tissue Loading Bar Graph monitors 12 different nitrogen

compartments simultaneously and displays the one that is in

control of your dive. It consists of 5 segments, the lower 4

represent No Decompression status and the fifth at the top

indicates a Decompression condition.

When the ATOM is set to operate in NORM Nitrox mode, the

Bar Graph will represent oxygen accumulation when the oxygen

data screen (Alternate Display) is accessed temporarily. The O2

icon (Fig. 26a) will appear as an indication.

Regardless of which parameter the Bar Graph is representing at

the time, nitrogen (if NORM or FREE) and oxygen (if NORM)

calculations will continue to be performed in the background.
