For those of you using a transmitter for you dive computer with doubles, how are you configuring the settings?
Here's my case:
Garmin Dive Computer
T1 Transmitter
Nautec Manifold
Twin LP85
The SPG would go on the left post, while the transmitter is on the right. During normal operation the SPG and transmitter should be reading the pressure for both tanks. In the case of the transmitter, I'd assume its setup as the volume of two LP85s. In the event of a failure on the left post 1st stage or during valve drills, the isolator would be closed. This would then throw off the transmitter calculations because it would not know that you just lost half your volume of gas. So in this situation would you do a gas switch in your computer to a pre programmed "back up gas" that's setup for the single LP85?
Does that make sense or am I over complicating it? I know if you have a failure and need to isolate your dive is done. However, on the ascent without a transmitter you have no way of telling your remaining gas. A lot of people don't like the transmitters but I think they add a lost of information on SAC rate and gas consumption in general.
Thanks,
