Q: Why do I see differences in Sharesource Adequest Dwell time versus PD Cyclers?
A: Sharesource Adequest is device independent. It does not use the PD Cyclers calculations for Cycle/Dwell Time. The Estimated dwell time values displayed in the Sharesource Adequest Regimen Modeling screen is 30 mins less than the displayed Cycle Time to account for fill and drain periods. In the Tidal section, Estimated dwell time is calculated as CycleTime-Tidalpercent/100 x 30 mins.
