Rats (encore / myencore software) !

Post by DaveMunson » Wed Nov 16, 2005 7:22 pm

Got the encore pro data management software tonight.

Loaded software. Already did dot-net a few nights ago. Installed $33 Chinese USB device w/ drivers from software cd-rom. Everything works. Set myself up as a patient.

I can see why people don't like the software. Retarded. Looks like it was designed by a, well, never mind. Retarded interface.

(by the way - the Chinese reader worked perfectly).

Tried to install myencore. Turns out I don't have not net installed. This should take a few hours.

while you are waiting you can look at "full details" day by day - I like page 4 of the report myself

Reminder to self. Dont bump compter at start of download.

Hummm.

Think I will lower the pressure. Now, the first few hours are at minimum pressure.

Since I started tapeing things changed: lower pressure. Especially at the beginnign of the night.

Anyone have any idea where the raw data is stored?

Dave,
What raw data? Encore Pro???

Encore Pro does not store "raw" data. It massages it into a SQL database stored in

C:\Program Filrd\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\EncorePro.mdf

It is not a text file - you will need a database program to look at it. There are many cross-linked tables, making it quite difficult to work out what is going on. Unless you know what you're doing, don't go messing with this file.

I agree. Found the file or rather exported myself and looked at that raw data. Shure is a pain to understand what it is saying. I am using a spreadsheet to look at the raw data. Easier than a text editor. Twenty some odd thousand lines in the spreadsheet.

I was wrong about lowering the pressure; AHI went from fourish to twelve.
