Max Leak

Post by 6PtStar » Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:57 am

I generally look at my leak line in Encore then look at the rest of the data in Pro Analyzer. When I looked at my leak data this morning something jumped out at me. My average was 29.46 LPM and no spikes above 50 LPM on the Encore Pro graph (even the cough in the middle of the night did not go above 50) When I looked at the data with Pro Analyzer it shows a Max Leak of 63 LPM. Did the cough really go that high and Encore Pro can't show it on the graph because of the short duration. Just trying to figure out where Pro Analyzer got the number. Anyone else run into this data glitch?

Looking at my EncorePro reports and then my Pro Analyzer reports, it appears that the max leak on the EncorePro report is consistently a bit lower than the max leak shown on the Pro Analyzer report. They are close though.
