SleepyHead data question

Post by Sharrykb » Thu May 08, 2014 7:49 am

In SleepyHead when you look at the information on the events, what does the number in parenthesis after the time mean? Is it the length of the event?

With your S9 machine the number in parentheses after each single timed event is duration of the event in seconds.
The S9 records event duration...how long the apnea or hyponea lasted and it has to be 10 seconds to earn a flag.

Now you PR S1 users...your number in parentheses is a close approximation to event duration but isn't exact...so don't go wondering why you have a (6) thinking 6 seconds...and why would it get a flag when less than 10 seconds...it won't.
Long complicated explanation but the end result is that the number in parentheses for PR S1 users is "close" to event duration and close enough to be in the ball park. Usually those 6 or 7 or 8 in parentheses end up barely making the 10 second criteria if one were to zoom in and manually count the seconds.

Thank you Pugsy! That's what I thought it was but wanted to be sure I understood it correctly.
