I guess they must make Oximeters that collect data over time ... Yes. Called Recording Oximeters they sell for considerably more. Most require external software which is an additional expense. The Nellcor N-395 which I use happens to have a large front panel display which allows one to view overnig...

BTW, I noticed just the other day that the newer versions Virtual Box now support serial ports. I'm using version 1.5.4 (I think) which has been out for some months now and it includes serial support. Version 1.6 is the current version of Virtual Box. Now that it has serial port support I suppose I'...

But it's our hope for your improved health through better therapy that compels many of us to follow your threads in general! Gee, thanks, -SWS. Here I've been thinking the participants to this thread as well as the readers of this thread were here just for the technical discussion ..., that, and th...

I guess I need to learn to clone ... and then do it early and often. Or do like most Linux users ..., conclude that Windows programs are unnecessary ... It's kinda tough after using them for so many years, I know. (You might actually need them, right?) A little over a year ago when I finally gave u...

Anyone besides me notice that it got easier to deal with small stuff after starting CPAP?

I respectfully disagree. This data looks much better to me than the chart on page 1 with the wide pressure range. ... I'm happy for you - to me it seems like you've made great progress! Actually, I agree with you totally, Cathy. Communication is not my strong suit though , so I apologize for clumsy...

I travel for my job extensively . . . is it worth investing in a "travel friendly" machine, such as the Everest and leaving my home machine in place ? Yes! You really don't want to break your primary machine, they way I did once. Small and lightweight is good. I carry my PB420E in the same small ca...

I look forward to seeing what the Swift does to your data! I'm also admittedly wondering what might happen to your FL data if you ever slept upright in a recliner. I kinda doubt that would really matter to your FL runs, though... Never know! OK, here's data from the last two nights with two differe...

Good going, Dreamstalker. Just like loading Encore Pro in Windows, huh? (That's not funny ) I believe that the USB filter parameters Yardbird referred to can be accessed in Virtual Box prior to starting Windows. After starting Virtual Box, you'll see a screen on the right of system configuration. Se...

Do we all agree that the "cycle states" graph is: 1) a regression type curve fit for scattered individual-cycle FL data points, 2) has nothing to do with collected A, H, or AV data (but may correlate), and 3) exclusively reflects returned FL status for each breath with respect to: a) "normal" non-F...

Hi jamestoronto, Welcome to the forum. Yes, you could be mis-diagnosed, but not likely. More likely is considerable variability in your sleep apnea. A number of poorly understood factors can affect both your pressure needs and the severity of your apnea at any given time. Toss in the fact that a poo...

Bill, right about now I'm leaning toward thinking your 420e FL runs are probably nothing to worry about. Well, I think you missed my drift, -SWS. The FL runs, per se, have never been as much a concern as an indicator. But, an indicator of what? Hence, the questioning title of this thread. Rapoport ...

I attempted to respond a couple of times to the acid-reflux/apnea/flow-limitation connection, but never could compose anything with the least bit of intelligence to it, so I discarded the prior attempts and continued thinking about it. (Cogitating instead of agitating, maybe?) Like many things invol...

Bill, If I had your results I'd try one of the following: I would try min =8.5 or 9, initial=10, max 12. Raising the minimum pressure is something I've approached very cautiously, ozij. However, given that the latest data shows that I've tolerated higher pressures for nearly all night the past coup...

Did you say you're using the 64-bit version? If so I would ask why. The 64-bit Firefox is the default version in 64-bit Ubuntu. Incidentally, I also installed the 32-bit version of Firefox for another purpose (long story), as well as version 2 of Firefox. I still haven't changed the system tray ico...
