Vent flow rate.
When looking at my download report, does the leak or vent flow rate go up as the pressure goes up ?

RE: Vent flow rate.
ResMed S9 does a good job in calculating leak and shows just mask leak (unintentional leak).
Respironcis is a bit complicated for me it shows total leak (intentional leak + unintentional leak) so to work out mask leak have to subtract whatever leak is showing from your mask vent leak. http://www.healthcare.philips.com/asset....111027.pdf

RE: Vent flow rate.
my sleepy head V0.9.2-1 beta shows total leaks. there is an option to show total or unintentional. before the update it showed it a couple ways.
