Why remove NDL planner in tec modes?

(I was commenting on a different thread, but reminded me of this.)

Why remove the NDL planner in the tec modes?

I get that 'tec' dives are supposed to be precisely pre-planned, and the deco planner works well as a planner (short of running an app, cutting tables, etc.) -- but the NDL planner is a nice quick tool to have. (Particularly since some display configurations are only available by setting to tec mode.)

I agree

Why can't OC/TEC mode also have the NDL planner alongside the deco planner

I now have to jump to REC mode to see NDL planning and then back to TEC mode

You answered your own question.

In TEC there is no NDL as you should be carrying the necessary gases to manage the dive.

I use both my Petrel and Perdix in REC mode when diving REC.

+1 for wanting the NDL planner in tec mode...

But only after more than 2 transmitters, and custom startup screen/checklist capabilities, lol.

Why more than 2 transmitters?

Why more than 2 transmitters?

Deco tanks?

I'd like three so I can have my two sidemount tanks and my recreational reg already programmed into the computer, then I can choose which I'm using.
Or four, so I can carry a deco bottle too.

Thinking it out loud here.

I understand that shearwater algorithms don't take more than two into account for dive planning.
They take activated cylinders only.
Therefore you could have four tanks on you with only a single t1 transmitter and the algorithm would work. Dive planning algorithm.

It appears that they've programmed two transmitters as such:
T1: planned cylinders
Can be two and more

T2: backup cylinder
Your bail out - usually the 40% and above ean tank

I understand that shearwater algorithms don't take f2f into account for dive planning.

Therefore you could have four tanks on you with only a single 51 transmitter and the algorithm would work. Dive planning algorithm.

Sorry, I don't know what your post means.
What is f2f?
What is a 51 transmitter?
My post is not about dive planning; it is about how many transmitter IDs I can store in the Shearwater, so I can pick the one or two I'm using at the moment.

Updated my post.
Should make sense now.
