If you are not already decompression-trained diver, then you should seek instructions first.
If you already are, then you should try to read this
paper first. It explains about how GF is derived and what to use them for.
Once you have done all of those homework, then read any abbreviated explanation that anyone might add below my post.
Since I haven't filled out my profile yet, I will just note that I am TDI Nitrox , TDI Trimix , TDI CCR Diver,and CMAS two star instructor since 1994 I have been diving for three years with Trimix OC to 60m + dives.
I have always used proplanner to cut my tables and in my training no mention was ever made of gradient factors. Now from the threads here, I get the understanding that this is some sort of variable which you can manually adjust in some types of Deco software, am I right? If so I just would like some info on it. Thanks for link, and for your help.
