| V Planner questions
Hello I recently purchased the latest version of V planner. Have some questions which will probably sound silly to experienced users of the software. Trying to calculate a dive where the set points for my deco stop are 1.0 – different from the set point at depth of 1.3. If you have the time, please see below for my procedure and questions. Thank you.
Went into V Planner and performed the following:
1) Inputted Surface Interval (2.30 hours – just get the program to work)
2) Selected: CCR; Inputted starting setpoint: 1.3;
3) Clicked config: Add Level dil set point
4) Inputted the following in this box: Add or Edit Mix: Depth: 140; Time: 35; O2: 21; HE: 0; Set point: 1.3; Note: assumed my diluent is 21%. No He.
5) Clicked Config. Selected the following dive parameters: (feet), stop times (1 min), water (salt), ATM (CCR set points)
Conditions/ deco stop:
20 foot deep (guess this is driven by Last Stop Depth, but not sure why I need to check it).
30 sec deep (clicking this does?)
Stop size (10),
Last stop depth: open (20), CCR (20)
Deco mix depths: up to 28% inputted (1.0), 28…45 inputted (1.0), 45..99 inputted (1.0), What does inputting here do (such as 1.0)? Didn’t give me a PO2 of 1.0 for my deco stops.
RMV Conservatism (nominal), Dive elevation (0), VPM model (VPM B) [though I didn’t notice a difference when just using the VPM]; Ascent Rate (assumed 30 feet).
6) Hit OK
7) Hit CALC
Gave 58 minute run time but assumed set point is 1.3 for entire dive including deco stops. Want to have set point of 1.0 for above 50 feet.
So I went back to [Add a level or mix] and inputted D: 50, T: 1, 02: 21, Set Point: 1.0. Hit CALC. Now all my deco stops started at 50 ft and set point was 1.0. Run time = 62 min.
B) If I wanted to create a set of bailout tables assuming OC – what is the quickest way to do so? I did the following:
1) ADD DECO – created a deco gas of 21%, my assumed bailout gas.
2) Deleted the 50, 21, 1.0
3) Hit CALC and received a run time of 93 minutes.
Thank you. |
