I just got a hold of an older style UWATEC BT (the 99m version). The ascent rate is listed like other UWATEC computers, as a % of depth. But, does anyone know the ascent rate setting at 100% for these older style BTs?

That function is essentially useless, I can trigger an acsent rate warning by moving my arm. If you want a good practice session see if you can do a 10ft/3m per min mid-water ascent from 100ft/30m without triggering the up arrow warning. Its possible but not really practical in day to day diving.
