Good work.

But there are even more simpler and useful arithmetic algorithms you can use with Ratio Deco.

It can be written in Visual Basic for Applications to control a stand alone Excel Spreadsheet that you or anyone can tailor to their own needs (i.e. Run Time, Minimum Gas Calculator, Amount of Deco Gas used etc.)

Attached are two sample Deco Gas/Back Gas Calculators in Litres and Cubic Feet, based on a profile generated with Ratio Deco --but you must understand and know how to apply it to fully understand the spreadsheet prompts & information. . . IOW take the online Ratio Deco Class.

(Note: enable Macros feature in your Excel Program to run the Visual Basic App)

this is dumb, but... what does GF% do? i'm a noooooob!

Changes your ascent profile for deco dives.
Basically you use GF to force deeper deco stops (than using the straight ZH-L16(a, b or c))

You can play with changing GF when using the rebreather in our simulator.
