s8 compact information

Post by Guest » Thu Dec 22, 2005 9:57 am

I have been searching and can't find some information about the s8 compact. IE, can you use autoscan? Can you use the led to get data like the spirit?

Thanks

The "Vantage" is the only S8 that will provide data other than compliance.

Wader

My S8 Escape (low end model) has both a datacard and a serial port slot & supplies the same type of data the S7s do.

I believe you will find all 3 S8 models can be used for data download ?

Autoscan 5.4 works with the serial download capability.

dsm,

I also have the Escape, I have not tried to download any data, but my understanding is that it only collects compliance data. If it does collect event and leak data that would give it a distinct advantage over similar models from other mfgs

I have the S8 Escape, also. According to everything I have read (including the clinician's manual), the data card only collects compliance data.

I'll double check it. I could have read too much into to what it holds.

I have the data card but no reader & was not willing to pay the $AUD69 they want for the serial connector so I never actually downloaded the data to compare it with the S7 Elite / S7 Autoset Spirit.

S8 Compact

I have been using the S8 Compact for about two weeks now. From the information that I have been able to get on this unit it does not have a data card and only displays compliance information.
