Explanation |
|
A |
Average depth |
This is the average depth during the course of a single dive. |
B |
Body nitrogen level |
This refers to the amount of nitrogen in your body as a result of diving. |
D |
ÇcÇbÇhÇdÇl |
DCIEM is an abbreviation for "Defense and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine". Diving research conducted at DCIEM had its origins in 1939. |
Decompression diving |
This refers to diving beyond the no-decompression limit time. Cyber Aqualand provides information of decompression diving, however, it is very dangerous since nitrogen accumulates in the body beyond allowable levers, never dive in this manner. |
|
Decompression stop |
This refers to stop that must be made to ensure the necessary decompression in the case of having performed decompression diving. It is necessary to make a decompression stop at a predetermined depth for a predetermined time. |
|
Destination timer |
If the destination of a trip and the arrival time are set, the destination timer measures and displays the amount of time remaining until arriving at the destination. |
|
Dive date |
This is the date (year, month, and date) on which you dove. |
|
Dive number |
This is the number of dives made in one day. A maximum of 15 dives are counted per day for skin diving and scuba diving respectively. |
|
Dive plan mode |
This mode is used to plan the next dive. |
|
Dive time |
This is the total time at a depth of 1 m or more during a single dive. |
|
E |
EL light |
A light which uses electroluminescence. The digital display unit is lighted up with this light by pushing the button once. CITIZEN named this light "IGNIS" (a Latin word which means a watch fire). |
F |
Flash memory |
ROM in which data can be deleted and rewritten electrically as many times as you want. |
G |
Garbage Collection |
CYBER AQUALAND uses flash memory to store various settings and diving data of the watch edited with a PC. Whenever new data is recorded in flash memory, areas of memory that are no longer used as well as areas of memory in the gaps between files are generated in the flash memory. Garbage collection refers to an operation that creates continuous areas of available memory so that these areas can be reused automatically. |
H |
High-altitude diving |
This refers to diving at an altitude of 300 m above sea level or higher. CYBER AQUALAND is not applicable to high-altitude diving. |
I |
Infrared communication |
This means communication made by using infrared (Ir) rays similarly to that for a remote controller of TV, a video recorder, etc. The infrared communication function of this watch is complies with the international standard "IrWW". |
IrWW |
The international standard of infrared communication for wrist watch (IrDA for Wristwatch). |
|
L |
ÇkÇdÇc |
Abbreviation for Light Emitting Diode. This diode can display brightly. |
M |
Maximum depth |
This is the depth when having dove the deepest during the course of a single dive. |
Minimum water temperature |
This is the minimum water temperature encountered during the course of a single dive. |
|
N |
Nitrox diving |
This refers to diving which uses mixture of oxygen and nitrogen in which more oxygen is contained than in the normal air. |
No-decompression diving |
This refers to diving that allows the diver to ascend to the surface without stopping for decompression. |
|
No-decompression limit time |
This refers to the limit time during which this no-decompression diving is allowed. |
|
P |
Profile log |
This is the function of displaying a simple graph of the changes in depth during a dive. |
S |
Safety stop |
Safety stop refers to a temporary stop made during ascending for safety reasons in order to promote expulsion of nitrogen in the body, and is performed even if the no-decompression limit time has not been exceeded. |
Saturation diving |
This refers to diving which uses helium gas. |
|
Scuba diving |
A diving continued for 3 minutes or more to a depth of 1m or more. |
|
Scuba log mode |
Scuba log mode is used to display the scuba diving log automatically recorded by the watch during scuba diving. |
|
Skin diving |
A diving continued for less than 3 minutes to a depth of 1m or more. |
|
Skin log mode |
Skin log mode is used to display the skin diving log automatically recorded by the watch during skin diving. |
|
Surface Interval Time (S.I. Time) |
This refers to the elapsed time following completion of scuba diving (surface interval time(S.I. Time)). This watch measures surface interval time up to a maximum of 24 hours. |
|
Surface mode |
This mode is used to measure and display the time which has passed after the latest diving was finished (Surface interval time) and the time left before boarding an airplane (the time during which you are prohibited to board an airplane). |
|
System monitor mode |
This mode provides a general indication of the amount of charge remaining in the secondary battery along with the usage status of flash memory. |
|
T |
Time in |
This is the time when the depth exceeds 1 m for the first time during the dive. |
Total ascending time |
This refers to the "minimum time required to ascend to the surface from the current depth" in the case of ascending at the rate of 18 m/min or less while making a decompression stop according to the decompression stop instructions during decompression diving. |
|
Total number of dives |
This indicates the total number of dives for scuba diving. |
|
Travel time |
The travel time mode is used to display the time and calendar of another location separate from those in the time mode (Main time). |
|
U |
ÇtÇsÇb |
The UTC is an abbreviation for the coordinated universal time. It is a time adjusted by a leap second to correct the difference of the atomic clock used as the world standard clock (the international atomic time) from the time based on the earth's rotation (the world time). |
