Suunto Eon Steel Software Update

The New Suunto Eon Steel Software Update!

Suunto have finally released their long-awaited Eon Steel update, there are two updates available for the Eon Steel the first one being a free user upgrade to RGBM Fused 2 algorithm already seen in the Eon Core and 5M, this is a user upgrade via DM5.

The second being an update to the Buhlmann ZHL16 algorithm which is updated by Suunto. Buhlmann ZHL16 is mainly used by technical divers and features on a lot of other "tech" computers this means that all you Eon Steel owners who have had different run times to your team can now match them!

Buhlmann ZHL16 algorithm features

No lockouts meaning the computer will not display an error mode because of a missed deco stop.
Gives the ability to run a stepped decompression profile in traditional 3m increments.
User Customizable gradient factors
Once the Eon Steel is updated you are still able to switch between the Suunto algorithm and the Buhlmann algorithm.
