It’s hard to prevent people from hacking the software.I guess that makes sense, but from the manf standpoint it would be a perdix (hardware wise). What they should really do is sell the perdix with less software and when the time comes you can upgrade (at a cost) to get that functionality of trimix.. Say sell the perdix with Peregrine software for ~ $600-$650 and then upgrade software for whatever the difference is. They wouldn't have to "reinvent" anything, and the end user could choose how much "dc" they really need.
I have no idea what it costs to build a perdix, so I'm not sure if they'd still be making $... but I would bet they'd still be making out alright. The only downside is, you don't get to sell a whole other dc. I know there's other dc that do that...
That would fill that niche where someone wants Ai and compass for a little more. Idk... just thinking out loud...
Most of the people I know who have a Teric don’t dive trimix.
