Dive mode and dive computers

Dear all,

I'm trying to make sense of the code in maintab.cpp. The way I read it, the 
dive-mode (Open circuit, CCR, pSCR, Freedive) can be edited per dive computer. 
I'm just wondering how that could ever make sense. I see how you can switch 
from open circuit to rebreather and vice-versa, but I don't get the connection 
with the dive computer(s). Shouldn't the mode rather be a function of time 
(there *are* dive mode change events, after all)? Are we talking about modes 
that the dive computer(s) are in, not of the dive itself?

It gets even more curious when multiple dives are selected. Then the n-th dive 
computer of all these dives will have their mode edited. Is that correct?

Confused,

Berthold
