Is the main purpose of leak numbers more for people with nasal masks to know if they're leaking from their mouths? I use the Mirage Liberty and it seems the last few nights I've had more "face farts" than previous nights but yet the data on my S9's screen says zero leaks.

It make no difference whether mask or mouth leak . The screen zero leak is the 95% percentile leak but for the other 5% could be higher , you need to get the software to find out what was the maximum leak recorded .

Median:0
95th Percentile: 0
Maximum: 9.6

Well.......I don't even have to look at your leak line to know your leak line was near perfect and it beats what I had last night up one side and down the other (and I was happy with what I had)Randyp1234 wrote: Got the software just haven't learned what I'm looking at yet. From last night:

Median...0.00
95% ..... 9.60
Max.... 25.40
I had one short lived spikey area that went above the red line and one other smaller spike. Nasal pillow probably came out. I don't remember any leaks at all so I must have fixed it and slept right through it.
This is what that leak line looks like in Sleepy Head.

Looking at the tutorial is one of those "on my list" things that I haven't quite got to yet but I know I need to. There always seems like there's something else to do, you know?Lizistired wrote:Randy are you getting the detailed data in the graphs? The link to the ResScan tutorial is in my signature.
But I will and thanks for making the link available.
