Encore Pro Update...

I downloaded and installed the Feb. 15 Encore Pro update from their site yesterday.
It now reports Version 1.4.91 (as opposed to 1.4.87)

Download Encore Pro Update

In my review of Encore Pro for cpaptalk.com I reported problems with the data presented on Page 3 of the detailed download report, namely that the daily indices were all rounded up to the next integer value. This appears to be fixed in the new version, however the Flow Limitation chart still appears to be "flat-lined" at a value of zero for all days in the report.

Derek--

Did you and Mikesus get any further with your development of back-end plots to augment Encore's canned reporting?

Yeah, I wrote a set of macros in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) under Excel 2002. It works automatically on opening the spreadsheet. I am just writing a User Form that will allow you to specify the PatientID, and the range of dates to include in the plots (at the moment these have to be enteredinto cells in the spreadsheet).

It's not quite ready for release to others. I will have to work out exactly what you need on your computer to make it run...

Roger that. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

I'm just messing around in Access with my whole database, which I downloaded from Encore via XML into Access. I can only find two tables of any relevance --SleepHistogram and SleepTrendEventLog, and they seem only to have summary or average nightly values. Any idea where the true "raw" minute-by-minute data are recorded? Did I not get the whole database (the XML was 80 megs for two months of nightly downloads)?

I use mainly dbo_histogram, and a few other tables to find the PatientID, min/max APAP settings, etc. There is more data in the dbo_SleepTherapyxxEvents tables, for example dbo_SleepTherapyOAEvents for obstructive apneas, but that simply gives you the time of occurrence. I can find no record of the duration of events, execpt in dbo_SleepTrendEventLog which simply gives the total seconds in apnea per session.
