----------------------
Subsurface has the ability to modify the preferences you want. By
using menu 'File - Preferences' you will be presented a pop-up with the
'Units'. You are free to choose what is your preference, with other
words, use Metric or Imperial.
using menu 'File - Preferences' you will be presented a pop-up. The pop-up
has two tabs: 'General Settings' and 'Tec Settings'.
The General Settings allow you to select units, columns to be shown, the
font used for the divelist and the default file that contains the data.
The Tec Settings offer extra columns to show, settings for more graphs and
information to be shown in the dive profile and settings for GFlow and
GFhigh.
In General Settings you are free to choose what your preference are for the
units to be displayed, with other words, use Metric or Imperial.
You can set the following options with 'Units':
You can set the following options:
- Depth: Your diving depth in Meters or Feet
- Pressure: The pressure of your tank(s) in Bar/Ato or PSI (Pressure Square Inch)
- Volume: The volume of your tank(s) in Liter or CuFt (Cubic Feet) (At sea-level pressure)
- Temperature: The temperature of the water in Celsius or Fahrenheit
- Weight: The weight of your weight system in kg or lbs
In the main screen, you did see in Area 3, some information. In the
Columns options, you can enable/disable options you would like to show
In the main screen, you did see in Area 3, some information. With the
'Show Columns', you can enable/disable options you would like to show
there:
- Show Temp: Shows the temperature of your dive
- Show Cyl: Shows the cylinder(s) of your dive
- Show O2%: Shows the O2% of your dive
- Show SAC: Shows the SAC of your dive (Surface Air Consumption)
- Show OTU: Shows the OTU of your dive (Oxygen Toxicity Units)
- Show Weight: Shows the total weight carried
- Show Suit: Shows the suit you were wearing
You can also change the default setting whether your dives are grouped
by dive trips (the algorithm makes educated guesses) or whether you'd
prefer to do any grouping of dive trips manually
With 'Divelist Font', you can change the font used in the dive list,
And you can use 'Default XML Data File' to specify which file contains the
data the program will use by default.
The other tab holds the 'Tec Settings'
You can select more columns to be shows with 'Show Columns':
- OTU The number of Oxygen Toxicity Units
- maxCNS The maximimum Central Nervous System oxygen toxicity
The 'Profile Setting' allow you to show extra information in the dive profile:
- Show pO2 graph Show a graph of the oxygen partial pressure (with a threshold, default 1.6)
- Show pN2 graph Show a graph of the nitrogren partial pressure (with a threshold, default 4.0)
- Show pHe graph Show a graph of the helium partial pressure (with a threshold, default 13.0)
- Show MOD Show the Maximum Operating Depth of the used gasmix (for the given max. ppO2, default 1.6)
- Show EAD, END, EADD Show Equivalent Air Depth (considering N2 and O2 narcotic), Equivalent Nitrogen Depth (considering just N2 narcotic) and Equivalent Air Density Depth
- Show dc reported ceiling in red Show the ceiling as reported by the divecomputer
- Show calculated ceiling Show the ceiling as calculated by Subsurface
- 3m increments for calculated ceiling The calculated ceiling is not continuous, but increments in 3m steps
- GFlow Set the Low Gradient Factor (default 30)
- GFhigh Set the High Gradient Factor (default 75)
And, you can change the font used in the dive list,

As a beginning diver, I don't need to track my OTUs. So I leave this
one not enabled.
Clicking OK on the dialog stores these settings.
