As we all know when the sensors get moist they read lower. Does anyone know if that error is linear throughout the range, or is it geometric (? correct term - not a mathematician).
Some crude testing seems to indicate that the error increases as the po2 rises. If this is so, has anyone come up with a way to account for this error?
Or am I being too picky here?
Thanks.

Joe,
Look at this thread

There is a difference between getting water (condensation) on the hydrophobic membrane and having a high humidity on the wrong side of the membrane.
It seems to be worse in warm water diving than cold due to the higher humidity achieved.
I was told that there are some tables to make a manual correction to cell readings for humidity - perhaps someone can provide a link to those tables in the other thread??
