Varying Data - Newbie
Hey guys, So I've been trying to dial in my settings. But I feel like some days my 10.5 minimum is too high, and others that it is not high enough.
Some recent screengrabs attached. What do you guys think?

I'd would set the minimum pressure to 11.5cm.

If you you move the minimum pressure up a little it can stop some of those events from forming. Right now your pressure is raising after the fact. If you can prevent the event from forming in the first place you can avoid the higher pressures.

RE: Varying Data - Newbie
Your numbers are very good, any adjustments should be small, think .5 cmw, and given a period of time to settle in. You will have variances on a day to day period.
The more important question at this time is how do you feel? This is more important than your numbers right now. That said if you want to bump it up I'd take it to 11 cmw for about a week. Be advised, you numbers say you do not NEED to raise the pressure. I will add that I tend to be more conservative in my settings, usually targeting close to where others recommend, just getting there a bit slower. Fred
