</div><div>Subject: [PATCH] Planner - change timestep to 2 seconds </div><div>
</div>Change the timestep used to calculate tissue pressures and ascents from 3
seconds to 2 seconds. But whats wrong with using 3 seconds?
Deco stops are at 3 m (10') intervals, and our ascent rate is usually 9 m/s
(30'/s), or at least multiples of 3 m/s (10'/s). Hence time to ascend from one
stop to the next stop is 20 s (or any factor of 60). Using 3 s increments, we
round our ascent interval up to 21 s, which leads to messy durations and
runtimes.
But what about me? I like SI units and whole decimals. Don't worry, 2 s
timesteps fit nicely when using 10 m/s ascent rate (18 s between stops).
----------
Back in college m/s was meters per second. Its been nearly a half century
since then. But I suspect this ascent will work out about third of a mile per
minute. This is just off the top of my head so I could be all wet. But no
diving today so can't blame that for being wet.
