Since there is some controversy about my interpretation, I'll ask directly. [b]Does anyone like the S9 display's smiley face/frown for leaks ?[/b] It sounds to me like a couple of people did. Of course, the leak rates are still available in the data downloaded to the ResScan software (for careful analysis at a later time), right ? Seems to me like a quick, simple, binary way of deciding if mask fit is all good or needs to be addresses while lying in bed trying to sleep could be a good thing.
To be honest, previously, I have always ignored leak rate but I am coming around to understanding its importance. I have tried to eliminate obvious leaks because they always bothered me due to the noise, unusual feeling on my face and concern that it will disturb my wife.
