Subject: RE: "OMS Like" DIN flow regulator
By having a less precise display, you increase the margin of error. 
Also, with the decimal points you can see if the display is still 
moving.  Without it you may be off by as much as 1.5 %, and that's 
just in the reading.  Any error in the sensor compounds that.  Then 
there might be an error in the calibration if it's done with static 
air instead of being done at the same flow rate as the air from the 
scuba tank.  All these errors compound each other.  For this reason I 
usually try to err on the site of safety.  This means that I use the 
next higher percentage for purposes of O2 toxicity, and the next 
lower one for purposes of N2 absorption.
