This just tries to collect some of the terms you will run into
|
|
when translating Subsurface

|
|
|
SAC Surface equivalent air consumption
|
|
The air consumed during a dive at different
|
|
depth is adjusted for depth/pressure to give
|
|
an easy to understand air consumption number
|
|
|
|
OTU Oxygen Toxicity Unit - a measurement how O₂
|
|
negatively impacts the lung tissue. This number
|
|
has no unit, the values are rather abstract
|
|
|
|
CNS Central Nervous System Oxygen Toxicity - a
|
|
measurement how O₂ negatively impacts the
|
|
central nervous system - this is a percentage
|
|
or a number <= 1
|
|
|
|
maxCNS the highest CNS value during a dive
|
|
|
|
pO₂, pN₂, pHe These are all partial pressures of the three
|
|
gases Oxygen (O₂), Nitrogen (N₂) and Helium (He).
|
|
|
|
O₂%, He% The fraction of Oxygen and Helium in a gas.
|
|
The partial pressure is therefore the pressure
|
|
of the gas times the fraction of the specific
|
|
component. E.g. a gas with O₂% = 30 (also called
|
|
30% Nitrox or EAN30) at 30m depth (where the
|
|
pressure is 4atm) therefore has a pO₂ of
|
|
4 * 0.30 = 1.2
|
|
|
|
Trimix Gas Mixture containing Helium, Oxygen and Nitrogen.
|
|
|
|
Heliox Gas Mixture containing Helium and Oxygen.
|
|
|
|
Nitrox Gas Mixture containing Nitrogen and Oxygen.
|
|
|
|
TC Tissue Compartment, is a logical tissue interface to various
|
|
tissues in the human body. Since each tissue has its own gas
|
|
dissolving time, they have been categorized into compartments.
|
|
|
|
CSV Comma separated values - a common file format
|
|
|
|
TSV Tab separated values - a common file format
|
|
|
|
Stopdepth The depth at which the diver needs to wait for
|
|
some time in order to "off-gas". Also deco stop.
|
|
|
|
WorkPress Working Pressure of a tank - the pressure it should
|
|
be filled to
|
|
|
|
StartPress Starting Pressure - at the beginning of a dive
|
|
|
|
EndPress Ending Pressure - at the end of a dive
|
|
|
|
Deco MOD The Maximum Operating Depth for a decompression gas,
|
|
which is the depth at which the diver wants to switch
|
|
to a decompression gas
|
|
|
|
Bot. MOD The Maximum Operating Depth for a gas used in the bottom
|
|
phase of a dive
|
|
|
|
Device ID Unique ID for a specific dive computer
|
|
|
|
trip dives are grouped into "trips" based on their
|
|
individual start time. As soon as there are more than
|
|
48h between dives the automated algorithm will start
|
|
a new trip
|
|
|
|
UDDF standardized file format
|
|
|
|
GFHigh, GFLow Gradient Factors of the Buehlmann algorithm. These
|
|
impact the way the deco obligations are calculated
|
|
in Subsurface. Typically these are between 20 and 100.
|
|
Lower is more conservative (i.e., more deco). It's
|
|
possible to use values below 20 and above 100 in
|
|
certain circumstances, but 70/30 is much more common.
|
|
|
|
CC Closed circuit - short for "rebreather diving"
|
|
|
|
OC Open circuit - traditional scuba
|
|
|
|
CC Setpoint Rebreathers often are run with a fixed pO₂ - the "setpoint"
|
|
|
|
Bailing out to OC
|
|
in a rebreather dive the dive switches to their emergency
|
|
OC equipment
|
|
|
|
Auto Group automatically arrange dives into trips
|
|
|
|
Ceiling when the diver is "in deco", i.e., when the diver cannot
|
|
directly ascend to the surface but has to put in "stops"
|
|
to give their body time to "off gas" (reduce the amount of N₂
|
|
and potentially He in the body), there is a minimum depth
|
|
they should not climb above - that's the ceiling. Often a
|
|
diver will do a deco stop well below the ceiling
|
|
|
|
Viz short for visibility
|
|
|
|
belt, ankle weight system types - a backplate is used mostly by tech
|
|
backplate, divers to mount the tanks on (recreational divers have a BC,
|
|
integrated, tech divers usually a backplate and a wing)
|
|
clip-on
|
|
|
|
rbt remaining bottom time
|
|
|
|
rgt remaining gas time
|
|
|
|
workload is this a strenuous dive?
|
|
|
|
deepstop stop well below the ceiling
|
|
|
|
safety stop stop at the end of a recreational dive, typically
|
|
3 minutes at 5 meters
|
|
|
|
below floor event showing dive is below the depth where the dive
|
|
is accruing additional deco time
|
|
|
|
OLF Oxygen Limit Fraction; Suunto specific term for CNS
|
|
|
|
rgbm reduced gradient bubble method - alternative deco
|
|
algorithm
|
|
|
|
non stop time amount of time the diver can stay at the current depth

|

|
|
|
|
