Meg HUD Flash cards

LakeLover · 18th April 2007, 15:18

I found that Meg simulator on the Pelagic website, it is very simple, isn't it? I guess I don;t have to stress about that anymore! Thanks for all of your help!

Just to add to your info;

I like to use a SP of 1.0, but I manually keep it above 1.1.

As soon as a sensor drops to 1.09, the HUD flashes amber, signalling time for a squirt (or to expect a solenoid firing soon).

By using shims I positioned the HUD so that it is always in front of my right eye, so even when I'm not focussed on it, I'll notice the change from green to amber right away.

There is no round up ?

1.09 is viewed as 1.0 instead of 1.1 ?

Now that you challenge me with that question, I'm only about 70% sure. I'll have to check when I get home

It was rheotorical since I already know the answer for the Smithers and Shearwater controller/HUD, but APECS-2 might be different...

Others have done a fine job explaining how the Meg HUD works. It really is intuitive.

As I recall, one of the members here built a Meg Hud simulator for his web page. A search of the archives would probably turn up a link for you.

I found it difficult to reach a stable upper decile (is that a word?) PO2 by blowing O2 on the sensors, but I think I caught the HUD flashing 3 reds @.78 or so.

I'm only about 80% sure now.

Doesn't look like any diving this weekend either, so a more certain answer is going to have to wait.

No HUD flash cards but I put together a set of emergency flash cards to play with during dives.

Scott,

Do you happen to have a Word file with each of those drills in it? Very nice, by the way.

I sure do. If you can find a stationary story, Office Max here in the US, pick up a pack of Avery Two-sided printable business cards. Using Word printing template 8865 or 8371 print out the cards. Then using GBC SelfSeal Prepunched luggage tag-sized laminating pouches I laminated each card.

You can of course make them however you like, this is just what I did.
