Hi, I'm using OSCAR for my cpap data, have for years. Now I need to send my data to someone so they can analize it for me to see if I need to be reasest. Can I use OSCAR to export this data say by email & if so I need a step by step instructions on how to do it. Or is there anuther way to send my data online.

Oscar doesn't have an easy way to transmit data by email, though there are a few options:
  • Make a screen shot of one or more days (press F12 button), possibly with zooming in to any periods of particular interest;
  • Make a screen shot of the overview screen
  • Make a screen shot of the statistics screen (probably the one a doc would be most interested in)
  • Use File | Export Data | CSV Export Wizard. This generates a file that could be imported into a spreadsheet.
If the person reviewing the data is likely to get into the nuts & bolts, a better option is to use SleepHQ (link in my signature). With SleepHQ you upload your data to their server, and you can send a link to your doctor, who can then see your data in great detail. Unlike Oscar, SleepHQ allows you to pan and zoom around the charts to really understand what's happening with your breathing.

* Download Oscar
* Oscar help
* An alternative to Oscar - try SleepHQ

I have no medical training or qualifications. Take my advice for what it's worth.

Why not ask the analyzing someone how to do that?
You could try to "zip" all the files from the SD, upload the zip to a cloud drive and share the link with that someone.
You can find detailed instructions, step by step on the site of the cloud service you use.
There are also services that let you upload huge files and send the link by email to whomever you chose.

Who are you wanting to send it to? A doctor or other medical professional will not accept OSCAR or SleepHQ.

What I recommend is get a free account at SleepHQ.com and upload your SD card. SHQ will prepare an analysis chart. Post the link to your SHQ account in this thread. (SHQ redacts any personally identifying information.) Members can help you understand the analysis, and possibly eliminate the need to see a doctor.

This is easy-peasy. New members do it regularly.
