?? different results on sythesis and detailed reports

Has anyone else noticed that the synthesis report count and the detailed count are sometimes different? I have a PB 420E. the other day the detailed report showed 3 apneas, 2 centrals 4 hypops, but the synthesis (graph) showed
1 apnea , 2 centrals, 3 hypos. there isn't usually so much difference as I usually have lower figures than that, and often there is no difference at all.
I just wondered if I have a problem with my machine.
thank you.

if you go to your computer's hard disk where Silverlining is installed, there should be some Help files (i.e. C:\SL3\Help\139....90C.pdf, if you COPY the pdf help file over to another directory and then rename it to 420eManual.pdf, you have a clinical manual for your machine. There are other PDF help files/manual there but they are for other machine types (yours should be 139....90C.pdf is the file you want).

While this information is available using the help screen while in SL3, if you copy the pdf file over it is much easier to find things and the information you are wanting, there is even a table of contents so you can find it faster. It is a lot faster accessing it via Adobe reader than via SL3.

It is a 100 page manual, if you go to about page 49 it explains what makes up the report data you are asking about.

Yes. The data is discrepant.

When you have a mixed apnea - one that is both Apnea and A/ca (two ticks one above the other) SL3 counts them only as Apneas, and not as apneas c/a. So you'll have more apnea c/a ticks on the details screen than you will find reported in the synthesis screen.

And things get even more complicated because when it exports the data, SL3 doesn't cout mixed apneas at all they are lost in limbo - the progarmmers forgot to add the mixed apneas to the total apnea count.
