| + | # Buttons to turn sessions on and off. Clicking on these buttons will include or exclude sessions from display of the night's data. This can be useful if (for example) you had a very brief nap in the afternoon and want to exclude it from the night's results. '''Note''' that turning a session off will change the calculated AHI for the night. Note also that sessions can be turned on and off using the small green/black buttons in the section information panel. When a session is off the button changes to black / red. | ||
