ResScan "mask event"

Post by KengEsq » Tue Feb 10, 2009 9:32 am

Looking at my data using ResScan 3.7 I see as part of the data under "usage" something identified as "Mask event." I seem to have one mask event each night and I cannot find out by reading all available materials what is meant by a "mask event." Can anyone help me?

A "mask event" is when you use your mask. So if you don your mask, sleep for a couple of hours, get up and stay up for a half hour or so, then don your mask and go back to bed you will see TWO "mask events" reported.

That's what I thought so I am right that it is a good thing to have only 1 mask event each night. It means I am not getting up and taking off my mask.

Thanks.
