I've implemented the scaling factor now. See attached set of patches. It 
took me a bit longer than expected because there were a few cases where 
the ppO2 still ended up being zero. And that turned out to be for dives 
without external O2 sensors enabled (e.g. fixed setpoint mode). But the 
tricky part was that the external PPO2 bit seems to be reversed. 
According to the documentation [1] external PPO2 is 1 and internal PPO2 
is 0. But based on the data I have, it seems to be the opposite.

BTW, I wonder if we should ignore the setpoint value when external O2 
sensors are used? Are setpoint still used in such case?
