Perdix Center Row setting question.

Hi guys, just wondering why the center row center position in OC Tec mode can only be Gas PPO2 or nothing? Would love more choices there, like all the same options that are available in the left and right position. I have my T1 and T2 pressures on the left and right of the middle row.

Cheers Mike

My guess is that since PpO2 is arguably the most important piece of data we need throughout the dive the designers chose to make it that way. IMO it is good that its there "In Your Face" always.

its there "In Your Face" always.

But it's not, you can turn it off, just can't replace it with something else.That's what I don't understand.

I just looked and was surprised that you indeed can turn it off.

Went to tweak my center row this morning and realized NDL isn't an option to show in the left/right position. For rec dives at night in tech mode, that'd be a nice addition since I do most of my night nav via the DC instead of my physical compass, and having to scroll through all 11 other displays or so to go back to the "home page" is annoying.

Additional feature request that'd be cool would be a configurable mini-display similar to GTR Mini, so you could show three additional info points shown all the time.

I understand your desire to have the center row more configurable but you don't have to scroll through to get back to the main screen, hit the left button twice and you're there.

Didn't know that. Thanks for the tip

Thanks! Apparently it's even easier if you're not on the compass, just checked the most current manual rev:
Compass screen: "Pressing the MENU (left) button brings up the Mark Heading option. Pressing MENU again returns to the main screen."
Other screens: "Pressing the MENU (left) button will also return to the main screen."

Yeah, but I'd still like the "reserved" spots to be configurable -- both the center spot on the middle row (currently PPO2 or off) and the left spots on the bottom row (currently gas and conserv in tec; gas in rec).

I agree
Strange that its either pp02 or nothing

Would be nice if I could change it something else

My usual mix of gas and diving sites never exceeds 1.3 pp02
