How APAP responds to events.

Post by Sleepy Pete » Mon Dec 08, 2014 10:13 am

Hi all,

I've learned from a previous thread ( viewtopic/t102529/Adjusting-pressure-yourself.html ) that rather than trying to stop events while they are happening, APAP waits for the event to end then increases the pressure to try and prevent any more. Presumably it does that continuously, detecting events then trying to prevent future events by raising the pressure.

Anyway, my question is, how does it decide when to lower the pressure again?
