+The General Settings allow you to select units, columns to be shown, the

+
+The Tec Settings offer extra columns to show, settings for more graphs and

+In General Settings you are free to choose what your preference are for the
+units to be displayed, with other words, use Metric or Imperial.

+You can set the following options with 'Units':
-You can set the following options:
- Depth: Your diving depth in Meters or Feet
- Pressure: The pressure of your tank(s) in Bar/Ato or PSI (Pressure Square Inch)
- Volume: The volume of your tank(s) in Liter or CuFt (Cubic Feet) (At sea-level pressure)
- Temperature: The temperature of the water in Celsius or Fahrenheit
- Weight: The weight of your weight system in kg or lbs

- Show O2%: Shows the O2% of your dive
- Show SAC: Shows the SAC of your dive (Surface Air Consumption)
- - Show OTU: Shows the OTU of your dive (Oxygen Toxicity Units)
- Show Weight: Shows the total weight carried
- Show Suit: Shows the suit you were wearing
-You can also change the default setting whether your dives are grouped

+ - Show pN2 graph Show a graph of the nitrogren partial pressure (with a threshold, default 4.0)

+ - Show MOD Show the Maximum Operating Depth of the used gasmix (for the given max. ppO2, default 1.6)
