Hello!
I'm new to the boards and have been diving for just a couple of years. Last year, my fiance and I got certified for diving Nitrox (wow, what a difference!) and for a wedding present this year we received an Analox O2EII analyzer.
We are heading to Aruba next week for some diving, so I'm trying to get up to speed on how to use this particular analyzer. Basically, I'm a bit confused by the Compensation chart they supply.
Honestly, we will be using the Analox just as a way to double-check our tanks, but I'd like to know I'm doing it right.
I've read on these boards that many people don't use the chart at all -- can someone explain the reasoning behind this? If you don't calibrate to the chart, are you just setting it to 20.9? (edited for typo.)
Also, if I'm reading this chart correctly, the only time you need to calibrate to the chart is if the temperature and humidity fall into the green areas. Is this correct?
Thanks in advance for any answers you may have. I have no doubt this is a great piece of equipment, but the directions for calibrating could be worded much better
