Sleepyhead data display -- flow limitations

Post by cathyf » Tue Nov 25, 2014 2:48 pm

In Sleepyhead, my Flow Limitation graph shows all sorts of wild activity, with a y-axis going from 0 to 1. But over on the left where the summary statistics go, the precision used on the printout really loses most/all of the data. The median tends to be somewhere in the 0.00 to 0.05 range, and mostly 0.00.

Are there circumstances where multiplying the FL numbers by 100 for display on the left would break something? Wouldn't it just make the numbers easier to see?

it wouldn't break anything, and that's a good point... I suggest pming jedimark with that suggestion.
