=== The *Extra Data* tab (usually for individual dives)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When using a dive computer, it often reports several data items that cannot easily be
|
||||||
|
presented in a stardardised way because the nature of the information differs from one
|
||||||
|
dive computer to another. These data often comprise setup information, metadata about
|
||||||
|
a dive, battery levels, no fly times, or gradient factors used during the dive. When
|
||||||
|
possible, this information is presented in the *Extra Data* tab. Below is an
|
||||||
|
image showing extra data for a dive using a Poseidon rebreather.

By selecting this icon, the different cylinders used during a dive can be represented as a coloured bar at the bottom

|
of the *Dive Profile*. In general oxygen is represented by a green bar, nitrogen with a yellow bar and helium with a

red bar. The image below shows a dive which first uses a trimix cylinder (red and green), followed by a switch to a nitrox cylinder
|

(yellow and green) after 23 minutes. Cylinders with air are shown as a light blue bar.
