I will be using Shearwater again within the next week and cross-check. I 
will also be diving the same Predator with a single sensor two weeks 
from now. One thing that may be relevant is that the Shearwater has two 
different calibration modes, one for 3 connected sensors (usually eCCR) 
and another calibration mode for a single sensor. Perhaps the way the 
information in memory differs between these two modes?? Is there 
anything specific that I should look out for or do during the next 2 weeks??

Kibd regards,
