Rail pressure gauge, how do I read it?

Now I have a rail, pressure gauge with the TST PowerMax CR R-49 stacked with my Smarty. But I am not sure what I am seeing and what to look for. It appears that perhaps RPM causes higher pressure and more foot pedal takes it away!

Can someone tell me what I am looking for to have proper pressures. I have considered a second CP3 pump from ATS...but $3000 installed is nothing for me to sneeze at! I see anywhere from 6-26K psi. The latter is at WOT just when I get out of it. Somewhere at 21-23K at higher RPMs, I think. Every thing happens so fast I really wish I had gauges that record peaks.

One thing I noticed is when I turn the Smarty SW down and bring up the TST there is fantastic top end, really fantastic. Of course the low end with Smarty on wild is mind blowing.
