That's too bad. So the software must accumulate the summary data separatly since there wouldn't be a way to calculate it at the time if it is more that a week?

Only if they have been reading your card each week (and storing the data). The card will only hold a week's worth of detailed data. Once it has that on it, each additional night you write over the earliest night. That 12-pager is everything currently on the card.
I finally got my old laptop (NOT 64 bit) up and running and got the software installed! Yippee!!!

The best news of all is that ALL of the data is still on the card. It turns out that the detail reports only produce graphs for the last 7 days of the date range requested BUT THE DATA DOESN'T GO AWAY!! By running "custom" reports with 7 day ranges, I was able to get the daily graphs from 11/14/2009 - through last night. While this was somewhat tedious given the number of weeks involved, I am really happy to have the data.

Wow! I stand corrected! (but I'm glad.)

I have always been told (and I THINK here!) that it overwrites the detailed after 7 days.
I've been uploading to my database nearly every day for a year and a half. I wonder how much of that is still on the card? Now I'll have to experiment some...

I'll be interested to hear if it is the same for the M series with it's software as with the PR1 and EP2.2. I hope so.
