Question about ResMed data card.....

Post by Randyp1234 » Thu Dec 22, 2011 4:56 pm

I took my S9 data card to the DME to be downloaded today for compliance reporting. I know if they write setting changes to the card that it erases the data. So if they *had* recorded setting changes I'd see that by looking at the files on the card wouldn't I? The file structure is the same so I'm assuming they're not trying to correct any tweaking I'd done.

Thanks,

Randy

Just check the settings on the machine after you put the card back in and it finishes reading it. If they did you will have to wipe the card to get rid of the settings on the card, but, if they put settings on the card, they wiped it anyway.

I just did a trial with a spare SD card and the answer is that you can easily tell. The original card has a "Datalog" and "Settings" folder plus 4 other files. If you tell ResScan to send settings to the machine all but the Settings folder goes away and it has different contents.

Thanks,
