What triggers automatic transmission?

Post by Robear » Tue Mar 21, 2017 10:11 am

I have a Philips REMstar System One 560 series Auto Aflex. Usually daily, just out of curiosity, I "check my CPAP numbers" via my SleepMapper app on my phone. After all, I'm on the phone frequently all day long & it just takes a tap. Obviously, that gives very little info, but I figure it might alert me if there's a drastic change in my numbers.

SleepMapper is usually hours (sometimes even days) late showing my data. Altho' a few times it has transmitted during the few minutes that the machine is off while I'm taking a bathroom break during the night. I've started forcing transmission via the button on the CPAP unit, as soon as I get up each morning and my phone immediately shows the update.

My question is strictly out of curiosity. What triggers automatic transmission? Every "x" hours? "x" hours after the last transmission? Once a day? Random?
