Why not?
That's what you're doing when you run a profile on a computer topside. You're looking for a specific tissue loading profile before you deem it "safe" to exit the water.
The VR3 lets you see what its model is doing and where you are (according to the model) at all times, if you want. The tissue graph makes this possible, and as far as I know, its the only dive computer with that feature.
The "dynamic" view of how the model is perceiving your body's inert gas load is, IMHO, quite valuable underwater. You quickly learn what sorts of profiles produce what sort of (theoretical) tissue loads, and what behavior affects it - and how.
Have/do you dive a VR3?
I know what a graph does and how to use one topside on a simulator or when running dive profiles
You said you did not like the computer because it was way to conservative(and I agree that's why I traded mine...), So how does a graph that is to conservative help you when running profiles
and how do you use it underwater?
I do deco from tables with a fixed bottom time, and a fixed run/stop time at various depths while ascending. How does a graph help you underwater is this info next to the graph? Please elaborate on your technique or if I am misunderstanding you please explain
