This illustrates the difference between recreational and technical thinking.
So... you don't need to sync the AI? You don't need to program the gas?
For tech; you wouldn't need to repeat that process for every gas/cylinder used? You wouldn't need to apply safeguard procedures, as an error in that setup would seriously compromise diver safety?
You don't need to formulate/adopt a protocol in the event of AI electronic or battery failure? Of sync failure...
I'll go over
my protocols. My main emphasis on AI is the ease of use during the dive. And, these are WAY longer to describe than they are to do.
You don't need to "sync" or "pair" the transmitter every dive, that is done once when you first set up the computer, or after a transmitter battery change.
Of course you need to
check that the computer is reading the transmitter before you splash. This is done when you take a few breaths from your reg during your pre-dive gear check, when the computer will display the pressure. Most computers shut off the transmitter when no change in pressure is detected after a few minutes, to conserve battery). Taking a few breaths changes the pressure and "wakes up" the transmitter which then sends the data to the computer.
You set the primary (and deco) mixes on your computer just like you set any gas.
That is a deco function and has nothing to do with AI.
If the computer does not read the pressure, my protocol is to do the dive with my spg (have not had to do this, yet).
During the dive, there can be momentary transmitter loss (only had it happen once). The protocol for that is to wait and check again in a minute or so. That was all needed during the one signal drop I had. If the signal is not regained by itself, the next protocol is to move the computer closer to or more in line of sight of the transmitter. Lest this sound like a big deal, I have not had to move the computer in 200 dives.
If after a couple checks over a couple minutes there is still no signal, I would complete the dive on my spg. If I did not have an spg, I would treat the dive the same as an spg failure and begin my ascent.
To, that's AI in a nutshell.
How useful this is to tech divers beyond their primary gas, or at all, I do not presume to judge, but I do follow those discussions with interest.
