If you can scan the image and save it as a jpg file, then it will upload to Photobucket and then to the forum.

I think there are other ways to get it into jpg format but I don't know those other ways.

Can you post a picture?
I don't know how to take a snapshot of it. The only options I have are XPS and PDF. Can't get neither to upload to photo bucket.

If you are on a Windows machine, you can push down the "Alt" button and then push "PrtSc" which is normally up on the top right hand side somewhere up there while you have ResScan with the chart showing on the top of your screen.

Then open up MS Paint, and you can paste the image, which is on your clipboard, into Paint. You can do this with Ctl+V, or with Edit -> Paste.

If you need to, you can use Paint to edit it anyway you like.

Then save the image with File -> Save As... and change the file type in the drop-down bar at the bottom from .bmp or whatever the default is to JPEG, choose a file name and a location. Then save, and you will have a .jpg image you can upload to photo bucket.

I hope that makes sense.

If you can do that, maybe someone will be able to make a more helpful comment than you have received so far.

I hope this is right. If you notice all graphs except the AHI graph goes the whole night.

Anyone might know why the AHI chart doesn't track the entire time the machine is on?

I think your charts are normal. The AHI chart starts tracking with your first event. In looking at some of my reports, I'm seeing the exact same thing. Does that seem wrong to you? It seems reasonable to me.

I switched to the Softgel Nasal mask a couple weeks ago. I was using the Mirrage Quatro full face mask. These graph changes started about that time. Some nights it will run the entire time others only a four hour period. I'm not saying there is something wrong, I am just wondering if this is normal??
Now with the full face I was leaking all the time, with this mask the leakage has gone down considerably even thou I still need to get it down even more. I didn't know if that could be the difference. I have only been in treatment for about two months and I am really tring to keep track of everything, and improving where I can.

Do you have an example of a graph, from any point in time, where there were events registered outside of the timeframe of the AHI graph? If so, please post.

I just looked back thru several days thruout the last month and no I do not have any charts where the events are outside the the AHI graph. I am assuming since the time frame of events has lessend of late it is due to the mask change? Less leaks= less events?

Then I conclude that the software is working as designed and is working correctly.

I'll let someone else handle the therapy question.
