2. Menus, settings and functions NOTE:- The LIGHT confi guration doesnot support diving with morethan one gas mixture. If you havechosen the LIGHT confi gurationand you set more than one gasmixture, the screen confi guration willautomatically switch to CLASSICduring the dive.- The LIGHT confi guration doesnot support dives with levelstops or decompression stops.If you have chosen the LIGHTconfi guration and you enter levelstops or decompression, the screenconfi guration will switch to CLASSICuntil you have fulfi lled all level stopand/or deco stop obligations.2.9.2 LanguageIn this menu you can set the language usedfor all texts displayed on the computer.2.9.3 Start-up picture(default: Galileo logo)Galileo allows you to choose a picturethat will be displayed for 8 seconds uponturning on the computer. In this menu youchoose the picture from those available inthe computer memory.2.9.4 UnitsYou can choose to have the depthdisplayed in meters or feet, the temperaturein degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheitand the tank pressure in bar or psi.2.9.5 Workload (default: HEART)At the base of any decompressioncalculation there is the transport of nitrogenfrom the lungs to the blood and from there tothe tissues during ongassing, and the sameagain in reverse during offgassing. As suchit is obvious that the single most importantparameter in a decompression calculation isthe rate at which blood travels through thebody. During heavy exercise, the total bloodfl ow from the heart can be up to 4 timeshigher than while at rest. This increase inblood fl ow is rather unevenly distributed, withsome tissues such as the Central NervousSystem and the brain being unaffected,while others like the muscles receiving up toten times more blood than at rest.UWATEC introduced workload-induceddecompression algorithm compensation in1995 with the Aladin Air X dive computer.The workload estimation was based onchanges in the breathing pattern as detectedby the hoseless high pressure transmitter,and the decompression calculation in fourof the 8 compartments in the ZH-L8 ADTmodel was changed accordingly.EnglishGalileo is the fi rst dive computer to have anintegrated heart rate monitor, based on worldleading heart rate monitor technology by Polar(for Galileo to receive heart rate information,you must wear the Polar T31 coded transmitteras described in section 1.13). The heart rateis directly linked to the pumping action of theheart, and as such it is a more direct indicatorof workload than respiration.37
