Throw the info up here, and you'll have more help than you need.

Please add your equipment and pressure information--you can go into the Control Panel, under the Profile tab, and click Edit Equipment.

You're in the right place.......you may not appreciate all of the advice, but you'll certainly get it.

You can't. You need to save the data chart you want to post as a .jpg first.

What I do when my data is on-screen:

Hit the Print Screen button on my keyboard.
Open my photo program (I use MS Photo Editor) and paste the image in.
Re-size and/or crop the image.
Save to your pc.
Upload to a free photo hosting site (like Photobucket).
Paste the photo's IMG code into your post here.
Click on Preview to see if the chart appears correctly in your post before you hit Submit.

Thank you for sharing your report with me--I've never looked closely at the Encore reports before as I have ResScan.

I looked at the summary pressure chart from the report you sent me......it appears that from 12/21 on, an effective range would be 7.5-12. After a week or two of that, you could further fine tune the range to optimze therapy........

You might want to follow BB's instructions to post your summary charts for other's review, suggestions, and wisdom. Respecting your privacy, I didn't want to do it for you--in case that's not what you prefer.

If you have settings on Encore, you might want to decrease the summary timeframe to the last two weeks--those are the most representative of the therapy you are receiving as you settle in to using a cpap. I commend you for having the software and seeking the answers----you're on your way to success!
