If you have a Resmed S9 Elite or AutoSet, the machine records full efficacy data and you can use either SleepyHead or ResScan to read that data. Both programs are available for free:

For SleepyHead, go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/sleepyhead/ for the download.

For ResScan, you need to go to the forum Apnea Board forum. When you register over there, you can find a download link in the "members only section." If you have trouble finding the link, post over there and one of the members will tell you exactly where it is.

ResScan is the official software for the Resmed machines. SleepyHead is written by one of the forum members here. It is still considered "beta-test" software, but it's pretty stable for beta-ware. SleepyHead is a bit easier to use since it was designed by a patient for patient use. ResScan will show you the data in exactly the same format as the DME and/or sleep doctor will look at it.

BIG NOTE: If you have an S9 Escape, the only data recorded by the machine is compliance data---i.e. how many hours you use the machine each night. SleepyHead will NOT download this limited data, but it will tell you that you've got a brick, meaning a "only compliance data" machine. If you have an S9 Escape Auto, SleepyHead will not be able to download the very limited summary efficacy data recorded by this machine; but ResScan will be able to download that limited summary efficacy data and show it to you.
