encore software + reader, Buying HELP

[angel1]

I am new user for cpap. I am using a Respironics Auto CPAP - REMstar M Series A-Flex with heated humidifier. After reading few posts, I am thinking about buying Encore software and reader. I searched online and found following model available for sale:

Respironics Encore Viewer Software & USB Reader V 1.0 for $139.00 at shop.talkaboutsleep.com

Is this the correct software and reader? will it give me detail report on how I am doing on my therapy?

I am using Windows XP.

Please let me know about this software. Thanks. This is a great site!!!!!

This is the software many people get.

What computer are you using? What OS?

Yes, Angel, that's the correct software (Encore Viewer) and card reader to get if you want to read the Smart Card from your Respironics REMstar Auto with A-flex.

You might want to contact cpap.com and ask if they will price match the lower price you found for the software + card reader at another online store.

cpap.com sponsors this excellent message board. I like to buy from them if the price is the same or lower. I'd ask cpap.com if they'll price match talkaboutsleep's price before I bought it.

I just orderd the same package for the same machine from Direct Home Medical for $139 + Shipping. I did not realize that Cpap.com sponsored this board, but I was a little annoyed that they wanted over $200 for the Encore Viewer software and the USB card reader, and although they said they would price match, I didn't think(at the time) they deserved the order for that much difference in cost.

One thing that is weird about Directs website is that they have the same price for the software alone, and the software with the card reader. So if it comes as without any problems, I will let you all know, and I think CPAP.com should offer the same item at a more competitve price, instead of hoping people don't shop around, but if they do, they'll match the price?

XP should be fine with this.
