Try SleepyHead. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sleepyhead/

It's free and open source. It's still under development, but works as well as or better than the official software in many ways.

Oh, yay! I started a bit further back in the thread and started to get worried. I'm about to purchase a Sys1 Apap/A-flex and that's a big enough expense without purchasing software too.

Congratulations!!!!

This is a very nice piece of work

I love the way the software displays the different events, when they happened, and how long each one lasted.
It gives an easy to see / understand count of each type of event so the user isn't trying to count blips on a graph

It only displays one day at a time and you can't see trends over time but that is a small quibble.

The display of data is much better than Rescan, IMNSHO

Thanks, the hosehead community has been needing this.

I haven't used my cms oximeter for a long long time but I may see if I can get the battery to charge up and try it for a night or 10.

I wish I would have never downloaded the software...I feel great and think I had a good day. I look at the report and see leaks and it just frustrates me...from now im just gonna go on how I feel.. the numbers seem to frustrate me....

If the leaks are too bad, the data you see can be incorrect. Keep leaks under control, without doing that you aren't getting the help you need. Jim
