I suppose its availible to the public in the same sense that encore pro is...
The big obstacle is that there is some sort of cable required that connects the PC to the machine for the firmware flash.. That seems to be the big thing that prevents anyone from doing this.
Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
Ahhh... I see now. Well I am good but not that good. Never found the firmware update stuff but then never looked because I didn't have a need or the cables.blakepro wrote:I suppose its availible to the public in the same sense that encore pro is...
Just suppose someone did....could they change a PR S1 Plus to a Pro or APAP? Or is is just minor firmware updates like silent mode or LCD backlight thingy.

Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
It appears that the the Plus and DS150 lack an airflow sensor. Pro and up have one. You need an airflow sensor to do apnea detection and most data collection.Pugsy wrote:I think the guts of these machines are all the same. It is the firmware that is different. If we had access to firmware we could make a PR S1 Plus into a PR S1 APAP. Couldn't we have fun doing that?
Perhaps a good software hacker could unlock the firmware on the brick machines...it is beyond my skill level though.
Consensus seems to be that the hardware comes in two versions. DS150/Plus is one version, and everything else is the airflow sensor version. The new AutoIQ might have some differences.
I expect that hardware gets various revisions over time.
I'd be real surprised if it's not locked down really tight to keep you from changing a PRO CPAP to an auto or ASV.

Yeah me too. But you know me...always looking for an angle to get something I am not supposed to have or know about.archangle wrote:I'd be real surprised if it's not locked down really tight to keep you from changing a PRO CPAP to an auto or ASV.
I hadn't thought about the flow sensor thing in the bricks...do we know for sure that there are none or are they just not activated? Jedimark said he ask a Repironics rep what the difference in the machines were and he was told "firmware".. don't know if the discussion included the bricks or not though. There has to be some sort of flow sensor to compensate for leaks...at least it seems to me like there would be something there.

Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
Hacking the device you already own isn't really a bad thing, is it?--you paid for what you took home, and enhanced it at will.
The early TI computers had hardware that was disabled, so you would have to buy an enabling device (a dongle)
If a 'hacker' came up with his own home-built dongle, he generally shared it within a small group of buddies.
If somebody got greedy, then it would doubtless get somebody's attention.

Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
Yeah, the CPAP police would surely get wind of it if someone got greedy. My husband kids me all the time about mailing out mask parts and machines along with the ones I receive. Tells me the CPAP Police are likely to come knocking on my door one of these days.chunkyfrog wrote:If a 'hacker' came up with his own home-built dongle, he generally shared it within a small group of buddies.

I lack the skills to do any serious computer hacking anyway even if I could lay my grubby little paws on the necessary equipment.

Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
So it is the 550 model.
I think I figured it out though.
Mucking around in the clinician settings, it seems the device somehow ended up on Split Night mode, and configured to do fixed CPAP for 2 hours and then Auto the rest of the night.
I'm not sure how this got set. It's not mentioned anywhere in my prescription, so I don't know if it set itself this way after about a month of use or if I drunkenly did it myself or what...
Disabling this set it back to Auto 7-9, as prescribed.
Very odd.

Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
I only know enough computer to not look stupid for a couple of minutes, then I get 'distracted'.
I cut out before I'm tempted to expound and reveal my ignorance.

Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
Split Nite mode....the machine won't do that on its own but it is real easy to accidentally change the setting. At least that demon is suitably vanquished now.

Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
Yeah seriously. I was so confused.
Thanks for all the help guys!

Re: SystemOne Help... I think it's possessed...
The schematics show the flow sensor only for the Pro and up. There are two sets of schematics, one for each group of machines. Of course, that may have changed at some time.Pugsy wrote:I hadn't thought about the flow sensor thing in the bricks...do we know for sure that there are none or are they just not activated?
I expect they would simply monitor the pressure at the blower unit, and adjust to keep it constant.Pugsy wrote:There has to be some sort of flow sensor to compensate for leaks...at least it seems to me like there would be something there.
