Hi all

I would like to know if there are any plans to introduce a tissue saturation graph such as used in the Suunto DM5 (9 compartments) or Scubapro SmartTrak (8 compartments) software?

It is a handy feature I use for post-dive analysis.

I do a bit of tech diving and use the Galileo Sol & Suunto Eon Steel dive computers.

Regards

Mark

We have had that for years. We support Bühlmann ZHL-16B with 16 compartments and VPM-B (I believe also with 16 compartments). You will just need to enable the displaying of the saturation level as indicated on the attached screenshot.

Selection of the algorithm can be done in the dive planner, and I believe that the chosen algorithm is also used when looking at old dive profiles.

we already have two types of saturation graph if you like:

First of all the "Show all tissues" profile option as described in section 6.4 of the user manual (for example on https://subsurface-divelog.org/documentation/subsurface-4-user-manual/) gives you a per tissue representation of the saturation (but converted to a depth rather than a kind of arbitrary partial pressure).

The second is the "Gas Pressure Bar Graph" in the dive profile info box as described in section 6.6.4 of the manual. Again we use different units than mbar since we are convinced these are more meaningful for dive analysis. This information is also displayed as a function of time in the profile when turning on (see the very end of section 6.4).
