Alex…
The computer, assuming it will be a full deco computer…
As indicated it will read the actual gases breathed when calculating deco requirements:
a full reading of O2, He, N2 and preferably no presence of CO2.
As I understand this:
This reading is done in the plenum after the CO2 absorption.
With the Auto ShuDBoF now separated, does that mean that the ShutOf valve is positioned prior to the “sniffing electronics” so that the Diluent gas used in BailOut-SC or -OC mode is "sniffed" and included in the calculations for stops and deco?
Thus that the Computer always knows what you breathe as long as you stay on the loop (SC and OC feed through the Rebreather inhale hose and OverPressureValve is in exhale lung).

Is there an option to tell the computer that you switched to a new gas, as on separate OC, so that these gasses can be calculated for deco requirements? (Gas choice ON/BAIL/OFF) (Can you program-in gasses?)

I hope that this deco-comp will not Lock-Out the diver, when he finds himself in an emergency, like helping someone to surface, and then go down to deco.
-A safe Rebreather should never let you down. Please none of this “USE TABLES”

Alex, we are very ready for a new thread on the rev4.
These threads are getting hard to read (the info is spread out wide and I have a short memory).
When you are ready, can you start the new thread with a summery/presentation of your baby.

I need to say this:
Alex thanks for your endurance and hard work in relating and sharing this info with us.
What a place this is, this forum has lots and lots of smarts and brains.
I am very impressed.
Wow!
