Questions using Resscan 3.7

Post by dad1717 » Fri Aug 07, 2009 3:39 pm

Just a quick question about the results shown on Resscan 3.7

Looking at the detailed graph that shows events (Apnea - in red, Hypopnea - in blue) the Apnea event is a red line with a number in a box above the line.
What does that number indicate? Such as "12" or "10" "16" and so on.

I just got my software and reader today and am learning what the data means but can't figure out what those numbers are.

The height of the bar and the number at the top represent the length of the apnea in seconds.

Happy data hunting.

What are the blue, vertical lines??
They appear to be start/stop times. I can move them, but not sure how or why.

The blue lines are the stop and start parameters for the recorded data. You also change the intervals of data you are viewing by changing the time you are viewing at once.......the drop down menu by view in the upper left hand area. If you change to smaller increments of time, you can see more preciously the time of events, data is clearer if your events are overlapping making it difficult to read the number of seconds an apnea lasts and get a better visual of actual hypos.

ResScan has a spilt screen, with the upper portion normally used for an overview of all data series for the whole night, while the lower portion can be used to narrow in on a briefer interval in more detail. At the top left of each area you can choose how long a period to look at, from 30 minutes to 24 hours. Say you are looking at a whole 8 hours on top. Set the bottom for 1 hour, then click somewhere on the top chart. The lower area will show the 1 hour centered on where you clicked. The blue lines will move to show on the top just what 1 hour segment is being shown on the bottom. The red line on the bottom will show where you clicked.

That's what I needed.
Thanks!!
