Sleepyhead questions (RERA, RDI mislabled, pressure graph)

A few questions:

1. Where are RERA flags? I have it checked off under preferences. But it does not show up either in the overview or daily view anywhere. Does my machine not collect this info? Sigh...I have an aircurve 10vauto.

2. When I switch my "preferred major event index" from AHI to RDI, the tooltips on the RDI overview graph still say AHI, and not RDI. Nothing about this data in this graph has changed. I suppose if RERA's are taken to be zero then RDI and AHI would be the same, even if mislabeled.

3. The "Time at pressure" graph in the Daily View shows two peaks where my two set bilevel pressures are. But the tooltip displays all my events as having occured at the IPAP peak, and nothing anywhere else. This is not really true, is it? This is just false advertising on the software so to speak, right?

Thanks,
David

Free open source software that allows you to see your raw data (flow rate and pressure) for every breath; and you suggest "false advertising"??? It is a tool; a very effective tool. Use the software to help you improve your treatment.

Didn't mean that in any negative sense, lol. Was just trying to explain my question as clearly as possible.

I don't have your machine so I can't speak to your questions. My point is not to worry about labels; focus on the real data - flow rate and pressure. The labels and statistics are only needed when you don't have the real data.
Sorry but I can't answer your specific questions. My understanding is that there are little issues with some machines.

Either your machine doesn't flag RERAs or you aren't having any.

Ignore the Time at Pressure thing...it was/is an incomplete work in progress. It was a last minute throw in for data but not fine tuned and leaves a lot to be desired. Mark (who did SleepyHead) was going to work more on it and fine tune it on subsequent versions but it hasn't happened yet.

I'm sure that the author will *GLADLY* give you TRIPLE your money back.

How else could you possibly have meant that phrase?

"So to speak" means he was just using "false advertising" as an analogy and not accusing anyone of anything.

Geez, peeps, read things in context.
