M-series data question

Post by Evan » Sat Apr 12, 2008 3:04 pm

So thanks to this forum I've got my machine set to show data. It's only showing weekly and monthly averages and I'd like to see how I did the night before. Anyone know how I need to set the machine?

BTW, my average AHI from the last few nights is 2.0. Just a little better than my untreated AHI of 85.

You'd need to get a card reader and software to really see what you want to see. You can set the machines screens to 0 every night, but I still think it would use the previous data to calculate the averages. At least, that's what it seems to be doing with mine.

If you reset the screens to zero using Den's instructions, the next morning your data for the night and the averages are identical since there is only one night's data in the machine.

Having said that, I often found that some of the averages would be slightly different from the night's data and I contributed that to errors in the software.

But you are right, the card reader plus software is the way to go when you can afford it.
