NAME

Dive - Simulate a dive and corresponding tissues

SYNOPSIS

use Deco::Dive;
my $dive = new Deco::Dive( );
$dive->load_data_from_file( file => $file);

$dive->simulate( model => 'haldane');

DESCRIPTION

The Dive model can be used to simulate a dive. You add data points, set some properties and call the simulate method to calculate the entire dive.

After simulating, you can retrieve info in several ways from the dive.

METHODS

$dive->load_data_from_file( file => $file , timefield => 0, depthfield => 1, timefactor => 1, separator => ';');

Load data from a csv file. You HAVE to specify the filename. Additional options are timefield, the 0 based field number where the timestamps are stored. Depthfield, field number where the depth (in meters is stored), separator, the fieldseparator and timefactor, the factor to multiply the time field with to transform them to seconds.

EXPORT

None by default.
