[quote="cpapdork"]Great, more files to decode...
However, I've got some good news. I've decoded the 002 format enough to reliably retrieve the following event data from the card:
Hi, are you the one writing that program (i've been using for a while ) on the web to view these files? Well, I decoded a bit of the files too, and came up with some other information....
First, your Flow limit, Vibratory Snoring, and Large leak data are all in file 002 the $11(#17) 'normal breathing' event. byte 1 is breathing pressure, byte 2 is Flow Limit, byte 3 is Leak level, and byte 4 is Vibratory Snore.
second, in file 001 also, bytes $24-25(#36-37) are the total time recorded in this 'set'. Stored as a serial #, like the start date/time.
Third, event $12(#18) appears to be 'OFF'
Fourth, I've had a $0b(#11) event appear in my files. No idea what it's for either, but it takes 4 additional bytes of data.
also, it appears the first 16 bytes of all 3 files are the same format.
Do you have any idea what the pressure pulse is for? I have a Remstar pro C-Flex plus (with C-Flex turned off) and I still get all sorts of pressure pulses in my files... I'm ASSUMING the #14($0e) in byte 3 is the pressure it's pulsing? (I know, the pressure change event (#2) is pressure level *10 to cover the 1/2 pressures)
if you have any more information that you've figured out, could you please post it, or send it to me? (other than the stuff in the mediawiki file (as of 3/9/11 anyways )

- Periodic Breathing (PB)
- Clear Airway Apnea (CA)
- Obstructed Airway Apnea (OA)
- Hypnopnea (H)
- Respiratory Effort Related Arousal (RE)
- Pressure Pulse (PP)
