Which software for my machine and where do I buy it?

Post by ellen1159 » Wed May 29, 2013 2:47 pm

I'm sure this information was included in replies to my earlier posts, but I've been on information overload since I took delivery of my machine three weeks ago.

I use the Phillips Respironics BiPap Auto Bi-FLex 760 with heated humidifier (not heated hose). Pugsy suggested EncoreBasic for this machine since Sleepyhead sometimes doesn't work well with my machine.

Oh, I forgot to add: I use a PC.

Check your PM box.
Actually I think SleepyHead 9.3 will work okay but I sent you some information on Encore software.
There is now a SleepyHead version 9.3 by direct download and install...no longer any need to do the Patch file stuff.

Hi all,

I'm a new user from down under in Australia, and only discovered cpaptalk.com today.

I have been trialling a Respironics System One 60 series Aflex with humidifier for the last month, and can't say I have found a major difference in my sleep and energy patterns since starting with it - but then as I have read on the site, for different people it can take different amounts of time.

To purchase the machine outright is going to cost me a lot of $$$$ in Australia, compared to the prices I can pay for a machine to be sent to me from the US, so I am considering this, but before doing so, want to be able to read the data that the machine is recording on the SD card.

I have tried using Sleepyhead v 0.9.3 and whilst it recognises the machine, can't find any data no matter which folder on the SD card I select (and I can see files on the card)

So - are there any other options available to me in terms of software?

I haven't got the official results of my sleep study yet - I see my sleep specialist tomorrow to get them, but based on my first appointment with him, he recommended starting on the machine immediately - but I have to return it tomorrow or pay another $200 to lease it for another month - and I really want to be able to read the data on the card first.

Any help appreciated!

Oh - and I'm using Windows 7 64 bit version

Thanks,

riteoh

Just to be sure, go to "my computer." Click ONCE on the SD card. Don't double click to open it, just click to highlight it. Then click on "choose."

To Riteoh:
Don't select any folder on the SD card.
You are going to far into the SD card with the navigation. Stop so that only the drive letter where the SD card sits is showing in the directory box to choose.

See this link for instructions and a screen shot of what I mean.

Also check your Private message box...I sent you some information on Encore software that will work with your machine.
