This would be a great way to compare between AI and your analog gauge

I was just looking at the user's manual for the new Mares Sirius AI computer yesterday and saw this. I may have seen something like it before but don't remember itIs this a good time for the discussion about the accuracy of analogue vs. digital gauges?...
Most people wouldn't know. Really the only way would be to compare it to a gauge traceable to NIST (or equivalent) standards.How do you know if your AI (digital) gauge is more accurate than your SPG analogue gauge?
Yes, it is. Transmitter just sends a string of information that contains the serial number, pressure reading, battery status, and, IIRC, a checksum to make sure the data is not corrupt.My Oceanic VT3 and Shearwater Teric run off a single PPS transmitter, they read the same pressure, I assume sent by the transmitter.
Both computers need to be configured for both transmitters.I know some folks run two AI computers and two transmitters. For those who do, do your two computers display the same tank pressure or different values? If different, what kind of differences to you see?
One tank, two transmitters, two computers. Do the two transmitters send the same pressure value or not?Both computers need to be configured for both transmitters.
Then the only difference would be if one computer didn't receive the data packet, possibly due to the signal being too weak.
I have 3 transmitters. All three are in Florida. The good news is so am I. I don't think I'll be able to try this today, but can probably do it tomorrow.One tank, two transmitters, two computers. Do the two transmitters send the same pressure value or not?
I have 3 transmitters but 2 are in Florida, if I get no responses, I will try this sometime. I dive a single transmitter and a SPG
Extra info. Had ass-u-me d that you meant two transmitters on two cylinders.One tank, two transmitters, two computers. Do the two transmitters send the same pressure value or not?
