@ -922,20 +922,51 @@ options for the entered characters. The
|
|||
*Size* of the cylinder as well as its working pressure (_Work.press_) will
|
||||
automatically be shown in the dialog.
|
||||
|
||||
*If your cylinder is not listed:* Maybe the cylinder type you dive with is not listed in the dropdown list. Add a new
|
||||
cylinder by selecting any of the existing cylinders in the list and clicking on the
|
||||
name of that cylinder. This activates the cursor on the cylinder name. Overtype
|
||||
the cylinder name with your new cylinder name and press ENTER on the keyboard. The new
|
||||
cylinder name now appears on the dropdown list. Overtyping a cylinder name does not affect
|
||||
the name that is being overtyped. Add a size and start pressure for that
|
||||
cylinder. The usual convention is that double cylinders are prefixed with a "D" to
|
||||
indicate "double". Say for instance you dive a manifolded twinset of two 7 liter steel cylinders. This
|
||||
could be named "D7ℓ 232 bar" rather than "14ℓ 232 bar". However, use a rule that works for you.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, indicate the starting pressure and the ending pressure of the
|
||||
specified gas during the dive. The unit of pressure (metric/imperial)
|
||||
corresponds to the settings chosen in the _Preferences_.

*MY CYLINDER IS NOT LISTED IN THE DROPDOWN LIST*
|
||||
|
||||
Maybe the cylinder type you dive with is not listed in the dropdown list. Let us say that you
|
||||
dive with 7-litre twins at 300 bars and these do not appear in the dropdown list. The image below shows
|
||||
the _Cylinder table_ as it might appear after selecting the _Equipment_ tab and before specifying
|
||||
any cylinder information:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Start by selecting the existing cylinder in the table and clicking on the
|
||||
name of that cylinder type. The cylinder type changes to a dropdown box, recognized by the down-arrow
|
||||
next to the cylinder name (see image below)
|
||||
|
||||
image::images/Newcyl-selection.png["FIGURE: Selecting cylinder name in cylinder table",align="center"]
|
||||
|
||||
This activates the cursor on the cylinder type. Overtype the cylinder type with your new cylinder type (image below).
|
||||
*Important:* Overtyping a cylinder type does not affect the name that is being overtyped. The usual convention is that
|
||||
double cylinders are prefixed with a "D" to indicate "double". In our case we have a manifolded twinset of two
|
||||
7-litre 300 bar cylinders. This could be named "D7ℓ 300 bar" rather than "14ℓ 300 bar". However, use a rule that works for you.

|

|
||||
and press ENTER on the keyboard. This is a critical step where most users go wrong. Pressing the ENTER key
|
||||
is the action that creates a new cylinder type (image below). Merely clicking an adjacent cell in the table does not
|
||||
create the new cylinder type.
|
||||
|
||||
image::images/Newcyl-create.png["FIGURE: Creating ne cylinder type",align="center"]
|
||||
|

The new cylinder type now appears on the dropdown list. Add a size and start pressure for that
|
||||
cylinder (image below).

Finally, provide the gas mixture used. If air was used, the
|
||||
value of 21% can be entered into the oxygen box or this field can be left blank. If nitrox or
|
||||
trimix were used, their percentages of oxygen and/or helium should be entered.
