Which functionality is duplicated with the (Revodream, old Smithers HUD boards, etc, for manual rebreathers and by the HH and 'Boris displays on ECCR's). (CUT) )
I dont think that functionality is duplicated as The Shearwater has 3 LEDS and shows you the actual PPO2 of any cell at any given time. It also shows you when cells age and start to lag and is a good warner when things start going south on a cell.

I guess it is how you view it though - In my view all types of Green for Good shows you is when something is right or wrong with your PPO2 and not with specific cells sure by changing flashes(like the URM) or adding another color (like the evodream) it shows you when the average is wrong or slightly out but not for individual cells. As such It is a secondary and all is does is alert you to look at a handset to ascertain where the problem is....

BTW I am happy enough using my URM as a secondary on my COPIS and just accepting I need to look at handset some times - I do it regularly anyway it kinda reassures me :-)
