Software? What software???

Post by Puddy T » Sat Mar 03, 2012 3:29 am

Hi to all...

I see references to software. What software is being referenced? Where do I get it & how do I use it.

Im fairly 'puter literate & Ive been on my Resmed S8 Autoset CPAP on & off for 7 years but I know nothing of this software.

Ive gotten serious about using my CPAP over the last few months & have upgraded to the Resmed S9 Autoset with the climate line tubing. I want to stay informed about my settings & results. I think it will make me more consistent with my use if I stay informed.

So, is this software for my computer? How would I use it?

Thanks in advance for any help...

Here is a link to the free open source software everyone is using. I use it as well and have the same machine.

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

See forum member, Uncle_Bob's posts to get link (under his signature on any post) for the ResScan software for your S9.... or use Sleepyhead, the open source software written by one of our forum geeks.

Wow, this is really cool stuff. I have been on CPAP for almost a year, but this tool is really going to help me understand what's going on and monitor how I'm doing.

Thanks so much.
