Divers often try to achieve a horizontal to slightly positive tilted body position in the water. The SYMBIOS TANK POD in combination with a Symbios dive computer can measure the divers tilt.
It includes a 3-axial accelerometer which allows measurement of the vector of the earth gravity, and from this calculate the divers tilt.
1.the SYMBIOS TANK POD measures tri-axial acceleration in respect to the spatial orientation of the electronic board of the SYMBIOS TANK POD
2.the information is transmitted to the dive computer
3.the dive computer uses a sophisticated mathematical model to calculate the divers tilt
To calculate tilt accuratly, the system needs to be calibrated in a 2 step procedure.
1.Pressurize the SYMBIOS TANK POD and bring the tanks in a vertical position. Navigate on the dive comptuer menu/SETTINGS/TRIM SENSORS/VERTICAL to perform the vertical calibration.
2.Lie down the tanks on the back in horizontal position. Navigate on the dive comptuer menu/SETTINGS/TRIM SENSORS/HORIZONTAL to perform the horizontal calibration.
A calibration is only possible, when the trim function is paired and the SYMBIOS TANK POD is pressurized.
