Can someone please explain to me what the OLF graph is indicating when the lowest bar blinks?? I can not find it anywhere.

Is that 5 dives a day in Alaska? Man, I dive here all the time (seeing as I live here) and I don't do more than 3 (usually just 2, or 1)
The Oxygen Limit Fraction (OLF) is a combination
of two methods tracking the oxygen toxicity: the
Central Nervous System Toxicity (CNS) and Oxygen
Tolerance Unit (OTU). Both fractions are scaled so
that the maximum exposure is expressed as 100%.
Each of the 11 segments represents 10%. The fraction
closest to the maximum limit is displayed. When
OTU% reaches the CNS% limit the lowest segment
starts to blink (Fig. 3.25). The OLF is calculated
based on the factors listed in chapter 6.1. “Operating
Principles”.
