6.3. T1/T2 Pressure Display
The pressure displays (FIGURE 20) are the
most fundamental AI displays, showing
pressure in the current units (PSI or Bar)�
Additionally, a bar graph represents the
pressure graphically� This bar graph is
scaled from zero pressure up to the rated
pressure setting� This is NOT a battery
level indicator�

6.4. GTR Display
The Gas Time Remaining display (FIGURE
22) shows the time, in minutes, that you
could stay at the current depth until a direct
ascent to the surface at a speed of 33 feet/
min (10 m/min) would result in surfacing
with the reserve gas pressure remaining�
The value is displayed in yellow when less than or equal to 5
minutes� The value is displayed in red when less than or equal
to 2 minutes�
GTR can only be based on a single tank� The title indicates
which transmitter (T1 or T2) is being used for the GTR and
SAC calculations in a dark gray font� When on the surface, the
GTR displays “---”� GTR is not shown when decompression
stops are needed, and will display “deco”.
SAC data from the rst 30 seconds of each dive is discarded.
It then takes an additional few minutes to calculate the
average SAC. Therefore, for the rst few minutes of each
dive, the GTR will display “wait”, until enough data has been
collected to begin making GTR predictions (FIGURE 23)�
More information on how GTR and SAC are calculated can be
found in Section 7. How SAC and GTR are calculated�
