Setting the Dive Profile Sampling Rate
The NiTek X allows you to choose how frequently it samples
and stores depth, time, etc. data. The data it samples and stores is
used in profile mode or when the data is uploaded to a personal
computer. There are two sampling rates to choose from: 15-
second and 30-second. The 30-second sampling rate is the
computer’s “default” setting.
The 15-second sampling rate enables the computer to sample and
store data every 15 seconds during a dive. The 15-second
sampling rate provides a more detailed dive profile, but because
it stores more information, fewer dives can be stored.
The 30-second sampling rate enables the computer to sample and
store data every 30 seconds during a dive. The 30-second rate
provides a less-detailed dive profile, but it is capable of storing
more information for more dives.
Note: When the computer’s memory storage is full, it overwrites
the oldest dive profile data stored with the new information.
To set the dive profile sampling rate:
1. Press button A until “SET” is displayed.
2. Press button B to enter the Dive Set-Up option screen.
Mix1 is flashing.
3. Repeatedly press button A until the screen changes and the
Dive Profile Sampling Rate is flashing.
4. Press button B to toggle between 15- and 30-seconds.
5. When finished, press button A to advance to the next option
(Salt or Fresh Water Use). To exit, press and hold button A
for 2 to 3 seconds to return to surface mode.
Setting for Fresh or Salt Water Use
The NiTek X is capable of operating using fresh or salt water
calculations. This is based on:
• One atmosphere of saltwater is 33 feet (10 meters)
• One atmosphere of freshwater is 34 feet (10.3 meters)
Before going diving, set the computer to the type of water you
are diving in. This allows for the most accurate calculations with
respect to no-decompression limits, etc.
