Actually, am just now reading the manual, and it's the aggregated (voted single pO2) value that is available for display on the dive computer. Agree with Joe that this is the better option as it allows the use of all three available deco computers.

Nice ... make that four when the Nitek X rolls around.

I don't know how he does it, but I would just send out the averaged/voted voltage (adjusted for pressure) out.. this way any computer capable of monitoring at least a single cell could use it, and the computer would only have to be calibrated once, and only the electronics would need calibration..

Actually, they're even going a step further.

Reading through the specs, the components operate with cells from 6mV-25mV.
So I checked by mail, not only will the UDC work with high output cells like ones used on the MK series and the PRISM, but the output on the UDC is normalized to 10mV=air. Hence the Shearwater, VR3 or Explorer can be integrated into these units, calculate deco and display the aggregated pO2.
