What happens with the Cobra when you blow the deco info?

Example: what happens if I just use it as an SPG when diving Nitrox, or deco-ing with O2? When/if it 'locks me out' of deco calculations, does it still give my tank pressure info? What if I get back in the water once it has 'locked me out' will it still give tank pressure info?

(I had a ScubaPro EDI which never locked me out of the tank pressure no matter what the computer was doing. I am trying to replace it.)

Why don't you put it in gauge mode? And the manual will most likely answer most of you questions.

Thanks for the link. I read through it, and it said it would give an 'Er', but it did not say whether it would continue to give tank pressure info.

As far as gauge mode, I don't want to think about the computer at all. I just want it to replace an SPG and be a backup to my computer on my wrist in the space the SPG used to take. If I spent the time to set it into or out of guage mode, I could just as easily swap in or out a gauge. I just want to stay there and me not have to think about it.

It just goes to gauge mode for 48 hours....... If you know you are going to bust the limits just put in it gauge mode to start with and use your manual tables.
