my respironics system one apap/bipap arrives Monday

[johnthomasmacdonald]

supposedly - the company that diagnosed my apnea with a home test and sold me a system one APAP gave me a full refund and a 15% discount towards this upgrade - it's the 60 series - i think it's a 760

What software do i need read the sd-card - and if a PC, what are the system requirements

You could have used SleepyHead with the 60 series Patch if you weren't using a Mac... There is no Mac Patch file yet.
The Patch works only on Windows based OS.
EncoreBasic of course will require either a Windows PC or the virtual Windows in the Mac.
Give me a bit and I will try to figure out system requirements for EncoreBasic for you.
Will you be looking at Windows 7 or Windows 8...or an older PC?
Basic won't install on Windows 8 machine but I know how to get you a work around so it will work on Windows 8. So if you want to get a Windows 8 machine...we can make it work. Not a big deal.

Basic and SleepyHead both will work with either 32 or 64 bit computers. Easily, no problem.

EncoreBasic requirements same as Pro 2 (best I could find) pretty minimal requirements really.
for sure will install on 32 bit or 64 bit computers...Windows 8 there is a problem only with the installer. I know a work around if you want Windows 8.
Pretty much the below Encore minimums for Windows also work for Sleepyhead.

Pugsy i'm going to pick up a PC laptop either tomorrow or monday from Costco - what would you recommend - I'm only going to be using it for cpap and the O2 sensor readings

[Pugsy]

Pretty much any Windows 7 PC will meet requirements easily.....if you can find one.

I have a question though....Windows 8 users out there....any of you all using the pulse oximeter with it?
Like the software for any of the CMS over night recording pulse oximeters?

Philips is supposedly launching an online service called SleepMapper.com in mid-Feb, 2013. I have no idea how comprehensive the interpretation or reporting will be. There is a shell of a website there with some video but not much detail.
