What is FLG Count? - DanEm - 09-12-2022

I think I asked this question before.  

I am searching all posts and WiKi and cannot find an answer.

Can you please tell me what is the "FLG count" in Oscar's "Details Export"?

Thanks.

The FLG Count is a remnant of the way the Respironics machines flag flow limitations as discrete events unlike the ResMed which treats flow limitations as a continuous variable.

I looked at the CSV export a long time ago, before OSCAR was even thought of, and noticed that it seemed to be oriented towards Respironics data. At the time I thought that it might be possible to scan the entire channel list and ignore channels with no data, but I never got around to doing it. It's probably still a good idea.
