Any if you have a link to download , that would be great.

Thanks

Or ResScan, Resmed's software. Follow The link in my signature to Uncle_bobs post. The link is in his signature.
The link to the tutorial video is in my signature too.

Hi ,

I tired the res med program download, but it seems to have lots of problems with it?

Will sleepyhead work with resmed?

Yes, for most S9 machines, including your Elite. No for S8 machines.

I say "most" S9 machines because I'm not sure all the new higher end S9 machines like ASV have been programmed into it by Mark. He's got all the common S9 CPAP machines. If you have one that doesn't work yet, Mark would probably be glad to fix it if you send him data.

Yes, SleepyHead works with most ResMed devices...I prefer it over the ResScan software.

I think I'm correct in saying that Sleepyhead is still pre beta and still subject to changes.
With some previous revisions the format of the data files have been changed resulting in the loss of all previous data.
If you are going to use sleepyhead as a reference of your treatment you should also occasionally make a copy of your SD card to the hard disk so if a new version with a new data format is released you will still have a copy of your data that can be reloaded into the new version.
I still personally use both programs
Could someone please confirm if the above is correct
Thanks.

Greg, I wholeheartedly endorse the backing up the SD card. In fact, I would do it every time you use it. I wrote a small DOS batch file that does this for me.

As for SH being pre-beta, yes that is true and you will see some issues, but it is fairly accurate in most ways. I also use the ResScan, and I know there are bugs in that as well which I have reported to ResMed. Each time they upgrade from the previous version it adds some new functionality, but most of the upgrade is fixes to bugs that were discovered after RTM.

Very good point. Especially for S9 users, where the machine throws away old data. Luckily for us PRS1, our machines don't discard data, but an occasional SD card backup is a good idea, because cards do fail sometimes.
