EncorePro Waveform - What does the little black dot mean?

cpap1 · Post by **cpap1** » Tue Feb 08, 2011 9:43 pm

Greetings...

I have EncorePro 2 version 2.4.12.2.

The waveform report has a little black dot sprinkled throughout the graphs. It is always placed on the pressure line, but seems to appear randomly. It isn't occurring on any obvious time interval. One might appear on a 6-minute portion of the chart, 4 might appear during a 6-minute interval, or none may appear over several 6-minute intervals. They might occur side-by-side (within seconds of each other).

Nor are they obviously associated with any event so may be near or far from any apnea or other event.

Nor are they coincident with pressure changes.

As much (or as little) as I can use this report to make sense of myself, it is the black mystery dot that puzzles me. What tid-bit of information this must represent!

Oh, cursed spot, obscure thy purpose no more. Reveal thyself!

Can you post an example?

Thanks, Slinky. I have not mastered the image-capture process

Also, you have two pressure lines so have a black dot on each. I have just one.

Ha! Don't feel like the Lone Ranger, CPAP1. I'm Tonto. I can't either. photobucket and I just don't seem to speak the same language. Fortunately, one of our wonderful members posts them to a site for me and then I can just post that URL between the Img signs.

That's because I have a BPAP. One line for IPAP and one for EPAP. "I think".

sometimes they represent a pressure change, when there are 2 next to each other, but the ones by them selves I have no clue on, and
