Well, we do both. We have the plot with the view over time.
And we have the "now" view in the overlay window.

As mentioned yesterday, crazy busy right now. I'll try.

But basically I was wondering if there's value in having this moment in
time display. So the thought for me was that we have the tissue based
ceiling already - there is some overlap with what you created based on my
request (and you have pointed that out from the get go). So instead of
doing that the value would be much more to see "oh, when I started my
ascent - that's how my saturation looked like". Basically the ability to
look back at what my Petrel showed me - after the fact.
