I am not sure hour you do it on proplanner because I mainly use deco planner BUT on the VR3 you just tick the gas your going to enter the water with and set the PPo2

So when doing the gas list imput the gas you want to start the dive on last. If your doing 100% 32% and 14/55 imput the 100% then the 14/55% then the 32% and tick 32%. It will then prompt you for a gas switch at the pre set PP02 max or you can force a gas switch at 1.4 and it will recalculate you deco from there.

As for tables they will never match the actual dater given on the VR3 unless you do a very very square profile. They are bail out so should be pland safley below planned dive depth and used with a depth gauge and bottom timer if the VR3 goes all technical on you. They should also give a reasnoble comparison data fro the VR3.

If I plan a dive to 60m and end up doing it at 55 for 30mins and the VR3 gives me 15mins less deco thats cool if it gives me 30mins less deco thats bullshit and I am back on tables.
