As always you are very thorough Joe, and accurate I have several questions:

1) Does the new HH allow you to calibrate at lets say 80% o2 (travel issues...like truck were the o2 generators put out between 80 and 95% o2)?

2) Do other systems like the insperation (as you know I have 1 working unit and one destroyed unit, the truck incident i told you about) take into consideration that the loop AFTER following the on screen instructions will NOT have a true 100% o2 content?

3) Units like the prism (just an example) say to flush the loop 3 times, but even after 3 flushes you won't have a true 100% o2 content. How does this effect diving ? and when does this become life threatening?

4) Is it possible to calibrate such units (that lack true electronics) with less than 100% o2 SAFELY?

Thanks Joe (I am glad someone knows the answers to this stuff)
