Seems like someone brought this up before recently, but I can't rightly recollect... I'll see if I can find it.
Seems like the answer was currently "no" but it was a big hit and lots of folks would like to see it added, including yours truly.

Nope.

Feature Request : Bailout TTS
I saw the other feature request thread and thought that it was a good idea to post just one of the 4 or 5 I have. This only applies to rebreather divers. In rebreather diving, you always bring “bailout” tanks in case your rebreather completely fails. In fact, most dives on a rebreather are...

PSA - Shearwater "Live" Deco & Bailout Plan
In case divers weren't aware (I wasn't until I recently really started to explore it), Shearwater computers can display a "live" Deco Plan and, if you are on a rebreather, what your Bailout Plan would look like including gas switches, deco stops, AND gas(es) consumed. AFAICT, this "feature" is...
I'm not sure I follow what you mean.
When I was doing my class I would bail out and then change my computers to BO mode. When done they all three (including the perdix) would display TTS.
For prior to the dive we would figure out having to BO at worst time and calculate the stops on the BO mixes then calculate amount needed to make said stops.

i think he means a real time screen display without switching to BO -to which the answer is no
OP
It’s exactly this but without switching to BO mode.
I want to know … if I have to BO what’s my TTS.
I understand that you can switch quickly and look, but I thought it would be nice to have it in a widget, preferably in the multi widget.
I wouldn't want it to, you have changed your gas mixture as such your stops and TTS would change. Best to tell your computer what your doing so it provides accurate info.

it would be possible to write software to do this on the controller as a widget it is simply a read out based on current data -rightly or wrongly i guess my suspicion is that you want to push your dive to the max BO- is there a situation that you want this information for any other purpose?
I think you're misunderstanding. I'm pretty sure the computer would be switched if BO was necessary and that the OP is talking about having that information prior to bailing out.
I suspect the desire is similar to what is done for a flexible OC dive plan. You make a plan, verify sufficient deco gas, and then regard TTS as a surrogate for that aggregate deco obligation including the gas required. When you deviate from the plan (e.g., 20 ft shallower), you can stay longer than originally planned. How long? Various considerations, but one limit is when real-time TTS matches the planned TTS. Seeing that OC TTS while in CC mode gives you the feedback that you are still within the planned OC deco capabilities when making deviations from the CC plan. Yes, the CC TTS is a similar surrogate, but not quite as direct/applicable as the OC TTS.
