Benefits of registering include
they're sealed so they do better than galvanic cells, but if you had a full flood under pressure I'm not sure how well they'd fail. They have videos of them immersed in a glass of water and still reading fine
That's still a pretty strong endorsement.
this is the OEM for reference.
look familiar?

Edit: if you want to mess with them, you can get the sample kit and use them in nitrox sticks or O2 analyzers. Sadly the FDO2-EXT has an analog output, but 100% is 5000mV so you can't just get it and a battery and connect to a regular analyzer, but you could easily connect it to something like a Trihunter, may need to call Wayne about that... IIRC the evaluation kit is something like $700-800 ish?
Last job we had several, but none were under pressure so we didn't have the 200% ones.
I think people are forgetting that there's an ADC in the system with the analog sensors. Having a design that takes a digital signal directly from a solid state sensor makes engineering sense (remove a DAC and ADC), but maybe not economic sense (due to exceptionally low volume).
Talking about extensive modifications already? Do you even have 100 hours on this Prism 2?
Richard, seriously, why do you even care? This is one of the frustrating aspects of attempting to have discussions on SB. I'm an EE by education, embedded software engineer by profession. I'm looking at this from a technology point of view, and in my short time on my unit, I have experienced some shortcomings.
