first uploaded dive computer.

one dive computer exists for a dive, right-clicking on the name of the dive computer
(bottom left of the profile panel) activates a context menu (image below) that allows one to make the selected
dive computer the one whose profile is shown by default: this changes the order in which the profiles
are shown when using the left-arrow and right-arrow keys. The context menu also allows deleting any of
the dive computers or to take the information from a specific dive computer and present that
as a separate dive.

*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 litre 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_.
