RESSCAN MASK EVEN?

Post by jobe2433 » Thu Sep 29, 2011 3:17 pm

Can someone tell me what the definition of a mask event would be using the RESSCAN software?
Thanks

I guess a mask event would be a LEAK.

Does ResScan report "mask events"? I don't recall any of those, but maybe I was not paying enough attention.

My interpretation of a Mask Event is any time the machine is turned on. Check the next time you turn on your machine for the night and see if that doesn't correlate the next day with what's listed on your report. If you get up during the night and turn the machine off, when it's turned back on it will be another mask event.
