Does anyone use a shearwater with these sensors? I’m going to use one alongside solid state sensors and I’m wondering how the calibration works, I.e. do you calibrate as normal?

Petrel 3 here. So I just put one in this weekend and it was a little wonkey at first. The readings were jumping from 0.0 to 3.4 to 0 to 1.6 back to 0 and then all around again. I hooked up the O2 and did a good 100% flush and it started reading normal so I did an O2 calibration and it started reading just like my K22D's and then the readings at air matched as well. So maybe it was 'asleep'? at first, but so far it seems like you just calibrate in O2 like normal but the air check maybe needs to be done after the 100% check now? Typically in my checklist I do an air check first then o2 check.

Again, I have NO idea what I'm doing, I got no instructions along w/ it but once I applied o2 it seemed to act just like the Galvanic's.
 
I have been running them for more than 6 months now. XCCR with Petrel controller. I wake them up first by adding O2 with the MAV. They perform great.

Do you run galvanic cells alongside them? I’m just wondering how to calibrate the galvanic cell that’s connected to the same petrel. I know the GF is factory calibrated but I assume if you then “calibrate” the shearwater again you could throw off the calibration?
