OK let me try an answer lol.....I'm a naui instructor and tec diver (back mount doubles) I was recently certified with the sms thru sdi and my local hollis/aeris rep. I dive 80% deeper wrecks of the boat and want to become 100% comfortable with the sms before I do..........I bought the computer and with the back mount doubles you only need 1 transmittor.....With the sm you need 2 but I didn't buy the second yet. I was just playing with everything yesterday so there was no need. I wanted to see how the entry was off rocks and beach.......I actually don't see the benefit to using 2 transmittor with the sms because it won't give you an accurate time reading........does that answer all lol
Why would using two transmitters mess up the time reading?

Because your breathing off 2 tanks and the computer is calculating your psi, breathing rate and depth. It's not taking into consideration your using 2 separate tank. So it won't be able to acurately calculate your time remaining......unless Doug knows a better way???
Sorry to appear to be ganging up on you, but it is exciting to have somebody who actually already used it in water AND on top of that is using it with two independent tanks in SM setup. Talk about pushing all of the features!!!
I think that the time remaining for gas will be accurate per Tank. When you switch tanks it may take few seconds to adjust calculations but I believe based on the advertisement and information given by Aeris, the computer is made to handle this type of scenario no problem.
Thank you for being so patient with my impatient questions!!!
The total dive time, NDL, etc will still work, which is most important. In SM config you change tanks based on remaining supply, not time remaining in the tank, in order to stay balanced.
I am excited about this computer. I really want to see the other mount though.

I just got mine, and took it for a spin in the pool. At first, I was impressed: easy set-up, intuitive menus, easy-to-read display, and so on. Then into the water... After about half an hour, the computer froze. Kept displaying the same depth, air, NDC time info. Now I have 1975 PSI in the tank forever! After getting out of the pool, nothing changed. As I'm writing this, hours later, it's still in dive mode, tells me I am at 4ft., have the same amount of air, almost ten hours of NDC time, but only 53 minutes of air left... It doesn't even turn off the display to save battery. Tomorrow it's back to the LDS, and see what they think. But I am pretty sure I will use a full back-up console even if I get a fixed one.
Did you remove the battery and restart it?
