Database to track therapy

Post by sleepycarol » Sat Jan 02, 2010 7:29 pm

I recently purchased a Resmed Vantage from cpapauction.

I have never been able to master the excel program and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions so that I can keep track of my data from the machine screen? What is the easiest way?

Thanks.

what do you want to do with the data?

do you want a big chart?

do you want graphs?

do you want some statistical output?

do you want to print it and make paper airplanes to throw into the nearest lake rather than skipping rocks on the water?

I would like to be able to track my nightly numbers and see if there are trends. Doesn't have to be complicated.

It would be nice to be able to print it out, but not absolutely necessary.

I have been using an M series autopap since I started therapy in August of 2007. I do have the Encore Pro software to keep my data from that machine.

Recently I picked up the Vantage on cpapauction and want to keep track of the data from the screen so when I have questions I can have access to them. I plan on getting the Rescan software, but don't have it right now.

Check your PM.
