For PRS1 machines, by default, SleepyHead just sets the intentional leak rate to the minimum leak rate observed at that pressure. Every time the pressure changes, it recalculates the intentional leak rate.

Mark is working on this, so it's subject to change.

[quote="Pugsy"]Let me explain using my report as an example
SleepyHead shows 2 leak lines...One is total leak (so this includes vent rate.) this is the top leak line...second line is excess leak (vent rate removed) and is the bottom leak....
What you did with this is just awesome. if you could go through graph by graph and explain what all the lines mean that would be awesome!
thank you

I am working on it...or trying to. Rough draft will be forming in my SleepyHead Tutorial Under Construction thread. Lots of composing (which I totally suck at) but when I have specific questions I do better.
