I really don't know about the F&P, but the Resmed Elite and Responics 260 are data capable machines.

Of the 3...get the S9 Elite. It is a full data machine and software is free and easy to get and use.

The 260 doesn't offer any data at all beyond hours of use.

The F & P Icon Premo has some data but not as much as the S9 Elite and the software is a nightmare to get and use. But hey, it has a clock Bet you can't tell that I don't really care for it.

Sleepyhead software works great with the S9 Elite...I have links for it and information in my signature line.
You can also use ResScan
Here's a tutorial on how to use it and I think there may be sample data in it somewhere...send me a Private message and I will point you to where you can find the latest ResScan.

In the Respironics line...the 260 is basic data hours of use machine...you would need the 460 to get the same level of data as the S9 Elite...We can also get you set up with software for the 460 if you could get it.
The 460 has one feature that none of the others have...it has some limited APAP mode capabilities but I know how to make it unlimited.

I really don't know about the F&P, but the Resmed Elite and Responics 260 are data capable machines.

The Respironics model 260 is NOT a full data machine..it has a SD card and it gathers hours of use for compliance purposes only...it's a brick. To get full data on the Respironics PR S1 machines...must be model 450 or higher. Any model number less than 450...hours of use only.

The Icon is more than a brick but doesn't offer as much data as the S9 or PR S1 Respironics machines but the software is horrible to use..Sleepyhead works somewhat but the data isn't as comprehensive... I wouldn't advise it unless a back up machine and real inexpensive.

Elite has full data, just no auto mode.
