2. Menus, settings and functionsWith Galileo you can choose betweenworkload (WL) estimation based on heartrate (HEART, default) or based on changesin the breathing pattern (RESPIRATION).You can also have Galileo always choosethe highest between the two estimates(ALWAYS HIGHEST), the lowest betweenthe two estimates (ALWAYS LOWEST) oryou can turn it OFF completely. If you turnit OFF, Galileo will behave like an UWATECAladin PRIME dive computer.that as a reference. Any increase in breathingwith respect to that initial pattern will beinterpreted as an increase in workload.If you choose RESPIRATION or OFF, youcan also choose whether you want to keepthe heart rate monitor ON (to display theheart rate on the screen and to log it in thememory), or if you prefer to have it OFF.If you choose WL = HEART, you mustpersonalize the algorithm adaptation byentering your maximum heart rate and yourbase heart rate while diving. If you do notknow your maximum heart rate, a goodapproximation is given by subtracting yourage (in years) from 220. For instance, a 35-year old would have a maximum heart rateof 185 beats per minute. To determine thebase heart rate, use Galileo in its defaultsetting on a relaxed, unstressed dive, thenlook up the average heart rate in the logbook(see section 2.12) or, better yet, downloadthe dive to a PC using SmartTRAK(described in Chapter 4), then observe theheart rate profi le during the dive. For theexample shown below, the base heart rateis approximately 100-110bpm.If WL is set to HEART or ALWAYSHIGHEST, the computer display will showHEART+ instead of just HEART. If WL is setto ALWAYS LOWEST, the computer displaywill show HEART- instead of just HEART.If WL is set to RESPIRATION or OFF andthe heart rate monitor is set to OFF, thecomputer display will show HEART OFF.If WL is set to RESPIRATION or ALWAYSHIGHEST, the computer display will show thetank pressure with a + next to the unit (BAR+ orPSI+). If WL is set to ALWAYS LOWEST, thecomputer display will show the tank pressurewith a – next to the unit (BAR- or PSI-).If Galileo detects a suffi cient increase inworkload, no-stop times can suddenlyshorten and decompression stops can quicklygrow. To alert you of such possibility, uponentering into an increased workload situation,Galileo warns you with an audible sequencewhile displaying the message INCREASEDWORKLOAD for 12 seconds. Unless youhave selected WL = RESPIRATION, anINCREASED WORKLOAD situation is alsosignaled throughout its duration by the heartrate being displayed in inverted colors (whiteon a black background).If you choose WL = RESPIRATION, Galileowill observe your breathing pattern duringthe fi rst two minutes of each dive, and use38
