Best and most meaningful statistical output from a PAP box?

Would the ResMed VPAP III be the king of providing the best
statistics to see how one is progressing with PAP therapy?

Which software do folks prefer?
1) Autoscan
2) Silverlining
3) Encore Pro

meister,

I've used #s 2 and 3 and like them both. #3 is more professional looking with easier to read output. #2 show a greater level of accuracy. The best monitoring would be a machine that had continuous o2 sat output.

The best machine is your body. Some have said X machine they felt rested, but with Y machine they don't. Regardless of the numbers, how you feel is the best measurement...
