Origin of Inspiration and Expiration times: the Resmed files or an OSCAR derivation?
I may have overlooked a VAuto-generated data file with I and E times.
Is there such a file among the constellation of PLD and BRP and other sleep session files? Otherwise, it appears one must rely on either OSCAR's presentation of I and E times--from a complete up-loadable sleep session dataset, if you have such--or derive I and E times from the BRP Flow rate and pressure file. Please advise.
I have no particular qualifications or expertise with respect to the apnea/cpap/sleep related content of my posts beyond my own user experiences and what I've learned from others on this site. Each of us bears the burden of evaluating the validity and applicability of what we read here before acting on it.
Of my 3 once-needed, helpful, and adjunctive devices I have listed, only the accelerometer remains operative (but now idle). My second CMS50I died, too, of old age and the so-so Dreem 2 needs head-positioning band repair--if, indeed, Dreem even supports use of it now.

I'll let Resmed experts weigh in, but I believe Resmed does provide some sort of I and E values, unlike PRS1 (for which OSCAR generates its own).

The Vauto PLD file has an IE ratio, and B5TI and B5TE times, and a Ti time which we don't use. I haven't investigated what it represents or how it is different from the B5TI time.
The Autoset doesn't have any of those four signals.

A far overdue "thank" you, pholynyk.
'Was beating a dead horse trying to get that time info from a member using the Autoset.
Now, I can guess that (and need to check that) B5 times are for I and E times. But am now curious why the "B5..."
