You can buy Viewer here
https://www.cpap.com/productpage/encore ... onics.html
for $100
or check your private messages and use Encore Basic which will give you the exact same reports as Viewer does and it's free.
I sent you a private message..if you didn't get it let me know.

Pugsy,

I have a question for you about Encore Basic vs. Encore Viewer. I'm using a Respironics Bipap Auto SV Advanced machine with Smart Card and have downloaded the Encore Basic program. I still need to get a card reader and discovered that Infineer makes the ONLY reader that will work with the Encore Pro Smart Cards. I made a call a couple of days ago to a company that sells that particular card reader and they informed me that they were under the impression that it would only work with Encore Viewer. I am wondering if you know different ??? Or is there anyone else out there that is using it with Encore Basic ?

Thanks,
Dreamless

Encore Basic will indeed work with the Infineer DT 3500 smart card reader...as well as Pro and Viewer.
The company selling Viewer is selling Viewer as Viewer is supposed to be the ONLY patient version available and we as patients aren't supposed to know about Basic or Pro...or maybe the person selling it simply didn't know about the other versions.

I know lots of people using the Infineer DT3500 smart card reader using Basic and Pro.
I have heard it through the grapevine that eventually Pro (and maybe Basic) won't support those older machines using the Smart Card and thus the need for the DT3500 but I haven't seen it or heard of it happening yet.

I know for a fact that Basic 2.4 or older will indeed work with the DT3500 and I am pretty sure that Pro 2.13 will work.
BTW...Basic will give you the exact same reports as Pro will so you gain nothing but the hassle and headaches that come with Pro if you are thinking Pro is "better". It isn't.

I used the Infineer DT 3500 with both Encore Pro and Encore Basic on my M-series bipap. In fact I was selling a new one that I bought but decided to keep it since I have a family member that might be using the M-series to see how it works. It is my backup machine.

Pugsy,

Thank you so much for your reply. I just found it - apparently I didn't do something right so I would receive a notification on a reply. Hmmm

Have a good holiday.
