I sounds like you may be confusing the I/O port with the O2 censor port. The I/O port is located behind the screen, on the top right hand screen. The O2 port the metal part that sticks out of the side

The unit now seems to be working perfectly. However the fault was definetly not user error, I work with this sort of thing everyday and while the instructions are pretty poor for it I know not all that was going on was supposed to be happening! I do know how to read the instructions that are there and know what the <> symbols mean.
The options menu at times was not all there, unless there is an option for switching it off that I can't find then this should not have happened.
The screen was jumping around on its own without pushing anything and the unit would not switch on properly. When you pushed the left button it brought up the info screen but when pushed again it would not start up
onto the dive screen.
Delta P called it the I/O port to me as it is not just for O2 sensors, the one behind the scren is an IR port.
What worries me is that it was doing strange things yesterday but it behaving itself like there was never anything wrong, reminds me of Windows on a PC and I wouldn't trust that to dive on.
I am going to call Delta P on Monday and see what they say but I am not happy diving this unit

Come on Rich, anyone who owns this machine knows the difference or should. Didn't confuse it with the Oxy port just made the mistake of calling it an I/O port should have just called it an I port, or O2 sensor port. Just a bad choice of words. Let's face it though it’s useless if you don’t plan to use it. I will use mine at a later date but for the guys not wanting if for A, rebreather fourth cell or B, oxy analising. Then it's just something that sticks out. I just don’t like shite sticking out of a machine that costs a fortune and is like a brick to start with. They could have made this an option but to be fair to Delta P by installing it in the beginning they truly have made a computer that will do everything you could ever need. Granted it won’t get you shagged senseless by a pair of Anna Cornacova look a likes but it will do everything that Delta P claim.

If only it could do everything. Anyone for tennis?

What else is it for? Could there be an upgrade to grant all our wishes? Please, please, please say this is so

They mentioned something about using it for forthcoming options, whatever that means.
Personally I don't want to use a O2 analyser or a reabreather or even link it to a computer in the future, a plug in the hole would be a better option. In fact if it ends up going back I am going to ask them NOT to supply it with the replacement.
