Given the release of the white paper, ( http://www.poseidon.se/DL_files/MK6_White_Paper.pdf )

Does anyone get a feeling of more precisely how deep 100% O2 is used to check the cell(s)? My feeling is that 100% O2 is only used to verify higher than setpoint readings down to fairly shallow depths (6m/20ft?),

Based purely on reading the whitepaper, I get the feeling that this can occur below 6m. I think the point is that as the gas is directly onto the cell face, by the test solenoid, the volume required is small & won't materially effect the ppO2 of the overall loop volume.

I stand to be corrected

The whitepaper is an interesting read...
