well yes actually - we did a second chamber dive about 10 days ago. Same testers - 2 constant add units and 1 full electronic version.

eems like we got out most of the bugs from the first dive. The constant add units seems to hold setpoint well and the electronic unit that I dived hd the injection rate changed from last time. It held setpoint with a pile of heavy breatheing and then came back up to SP after a full loop flush quickly.

All seems to go well - olkan guys want to put in the water for wet testing next and it will progress form there pretty quicky should imagine.

Great little unit

The problem of PPO2 setpoint testing in a manned chamber, is one can't do the sort of profiles some divers manage as a one-off, or even check it over the full range of metabolic rates.

What are your plans to check this?
