Eh. There's no drop across a injector. The drop in po2 is due to the diver metabolising the o2, and a fraction is evicted and replaced. > So, in the case of rebreathers, bailout does not automatically mean > a change of gas or cylinders. > > Hopes this makes sense? From subsurface point of view, it really doesn't matter if we represent a bailout as a gasswitch event or not. The problem with the gasswitch and setpoint change, is that it doesn't work for dives with po2 sensors or the SCR steady state approximation. A setpoint change to 0 is sort of a clever hack which just works for planed/setpoint-only CCR dives, and not for CCR dives with po2-sensors, or SCR dives. I'd suggest we clean that up into some bailout sematics which works for both SCR and CCR code, with or without o2 sensors. If we implement that as a divemode switching event, a gaschange event with some special flags, i don't really have a opinion until i see a real suggestion. Nothing says we can't have a gaschange event which switches to the same gas as we're currently using... //Anton -- Anton Lundin +46702-161604 _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
