My respiratory tech downloads mine for the doctor and gives me a copy, its your medical history so they should always give it to you.

First of all, only some of the S8s collect the data you want to see. If you have an Elite or an AutoSet you are good to go.

You can read your own data, but you'll need a Windows PC (XP or later), a ResMed card reader, and the ResScan software.

I you register, I can send you more info about the last two items.

An "older S8" w/a "memory stick'"? The only S8s I'm aware of used a data card or an S8 ResLink and a SmartCard.

I have the resMed Autoset 8. Will the ResMed software work with Windows 7? I need to upgrade my laptop and want to make sure I will be able to keep using the software!

You are correct, of course. I pictured the long, narrow SmartCard in my mind, and somehow "memory stick" came out. Please don't tell Sony.

Sorry for any confusion.

I'm running ResScan 3.11 on Windows 64 bit with no problems. Works fine on 32 bit, too.

barb_z, check your PMs for more info.
