Dive simulator
MultiDeco-X1 includes a diving simulator. This can be used to learn and experience how
the X1 dive computer and MultiDeco-X1 will behave under water, before actually taking
it on a dive. The simulator causes the X1 to perform exactly as it does in the water,
except that:

The simulator always starts with a fresh (no dives) tissue state – therefore it will
not consider any repeat dive components in its deco calculations.
The simulator cannot be used for planning follow on dives from real dives.
The simulated dives do not affect the saved tissue state after a dive – a simulated
dive is a temporary condition that is independent of the current real tissue state.
A simulated dive cannot be saved to logs and it will not show in any history or
other review or surface display times.
Operation
When in simulator mode, the word “SIM” is flashed on screen during the simulated dive,
along with the selected simulation speed (1x, 2x, 4x, 8x).

Mode
Select Auto or Manual. Auto mode will cause MultiDeco-X1 to carry out the
dive, and any deco stops automatically, as per the depth and time settings below.
The diver still needs to perform the deco mix swaps manually. On manual mode,
the diver controls the depth setting throughout he dive with the Depth value, and
therefore the dive runtime as well.
Depth/Time
Sets the simulator to carry out the simulated dive as per the depth and time set
here. In Manual mode, only the depth is available and is set by the diver.
Sim Speed
This controls the speed at which the simulated runtime is performed. Set 1x for a
real time dive, or set through to 8x to speed up the dive. As the dive gets deeper
and a greater decompression obligation becomes necessary, the workload on the
CPU increases. For this reason, the allowable speed is reduced as the simulated
dive depth increases.
Start Sim, Quit Sim
Starts or stops the simulated dive.
