However, as Rooster and others have pointed out, you'll get much better results from you therapy if you do this with the software and card reader installed. Anything else really is just a stab in the dark. If you haven't already gotten the Encore Viewer and the card reader, please consider it soon. Fine tuning will go much more smoothly when you can see numerically exactly where your results sit.
I have the Remstar Pro (standard CPAP), I was under the impression that the software won't do me any good, since it only records compliance data, is that wrong?
If your machine LOOKS like the one in my profile but doesn't have the "2" in the name, then it only records the hours slept......and software won't be of any benefit.

Thanks Den. Looks like I can't do the software thing with this machine, since it doesn't look like the "2" version. I've been thinking about upgrading to the new PR System One Auto that has been advertised here. Hopefully they will come out with software for that one, but I like the idea of an auto, and that one looks really cool. I'm saving up enough $$$ to order it from cpap.com sometime soon.

Thanks for the help!
