Hi,
Uwatec will be marketing the new Aladin Air X. It is still worn around the
wrist, but the display area has been increased by 70%. On the lower
portion of the unit, there is a second display attached at an angle of
about 120 degrees. It displays tank pressure and bottom time left based
on air consumption. This data is transmitted from a unit screwed into the
first stage. The time remaining is calculated so that after the ascent,
with all decompression stops, there are still 400 psi (?) left on the
surface.
The display does not alternate between modes, as in some other computers.
A new ascent indicator displays the percentage of the recommended ascent
rate of 60 feet per minute at depth to 20 feet per minute in shallow
water.
Decompression information is based on the ZHL-8 ADT algorithm, using 8
compartments of 5 to 640 minutes. The computer will measure temperature,
prior ascent rates and air consumption rate in order to apply extra
penalties when calculating decompression information.
The logbook can store 19 dives. The dive profile will record depth
information for 200 minutes in 20 second intervals.
In Germany, this unit will be sold for just below $1,000.00.
