Under the menu item Extras/ Computer Settings... a broad range of settings can be changed within your dive computer. You can also read off the ID and version numbers. There must be an established infrared connection between your dive computer and your Mac or PC, otherwise the setup window will not pop up. The current settings of your UWATEC dive computer will be read out and displayed. To implement your modifications, you have to upload them to the dive computer.
You can see the following information:
| Parameter | Meaning | Value |
