AHI ramping on the hour

Post by Bigd » Wed May 04, 2011 3:11 am

My AHI index is ramping up to a peak of 2 or so then drops off ON THE HOUR. Forms a very nice saw tooth pattern.This will go on for three or four hours straight. Some thing is wrong here. No other parameter does this.

I never even look at the AHI index. I turned it off. I don't see what purpose it serves. I just look at events.
