Galileo Trimix?

[Scott L]

It is a great rec computer except:
1) it has crappy lighting.
2) the layout is not designed well; for example, tank pressure is in the smallest font for any screeen setting.
3) the heart monitor is worthless.
If SP would just fix these issues then I wouldn't care about trimix either.

If not for the outstanding electronic compass I would have sold long ago. I have never used the heart monitor. My Florida Cracker spearo buddies would crucify me for strapping that on...

If you down-load their 16 compartment conservative trimix program that will over-write the nitrox software as well I hear. Jack of all trades and master of nothing. Shearwater or Liquivision for a trimix computer...

which year....holiday of 2011?
I do have more then 5 e amils from their costumer service centre, all with the same message....soon it will be avaible
The same for the new pressure sensor, they promissed them also a year ago....that was in in 2009 at BOOT show in Germany.

About testing...i do know that several divers recieved in the beginning of 2010 already a version for testing...they make a lot of test :shocked2:

Does the Sol have a pressure sensor issue?

 

[Jan1960]

No, there is no issue at all.
In fact i didnt hear any complain about bad quality or factorymistakes.
Uwatec is in Europe one of the top producers with high quality.

In case of the trimix...i think the problem is within the algorithme, the combination Buhlmann, Microbubbles, Deepstops and the addition He.

However i did heared that there was an accident in the laboratory and therefore all testings have been moved to France.

That might explain some delays. Between their already short work weeks and their protests to retire before most become hyperopia, I am not surprised at all.

They are on the process of beta testing as we speak. I was told by my rep that the thing slowing this down is a lack of testers. So if you want to see this upgrade happen, are an experienced Trimix diver and own a Sol, head down to your authorized dealer and ask if your area is still accepting divers for the test process. You might get lucky!!

Well, it's very reassuring that the largest producer of scuba gear in the world does not know any tec divers. Once again, the Sol is a recreational computer only...

Scott, Uwatec used to be independent -- ScubaPro bought them. I do not think they are integrated, but that ScubaPro sees them as an independent subsidiary.
