SleepyHead would be great for beta software, for alpha it is amazing. I have had no problems importing my S9 VPAP Auto data. I write software for a living so I am almost surprised to have no problems in code as new as the importer for the S9 VPAP Auto.

Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Understood. I am good. I pinned to Start Menu the appropriate exe file and tested multiple times. Always get 8.3 now.
I find this much easier than looking in folder each time. No chance for screw up again. I could put a shortcut on desktop like I have in the past.

Husband is home now. No time to do some instructions but I will have time Sunday after he leaves. He whines too much when I am on computer and it distracts me. Gotta go.

You see, Mark? I told you that putting the "randomly switch software versions on certain dates" gag would fool a bunch of people.

I can't wait until we spring the next gag on the users. It's a doozy.

Lol... If only I was that funny.

Mark, could you tell me what files a PR System 1 BI-PAP would store on the SD card for a night's session? I know that the cpap and apap versions create three files ending in .001, .002, and .005 for each session. Are the ones for the BI-PAP the same? Or are there different files, or additional files?

I am trying to help someone who is having a problem with the card. It only has one night's data, and it's incomplete from what I can tell... only the .001 and .002 files. What should we be seeing?

Thanks!

BIPAP is the same.. It will only record the .005 waveform files if the card is inserted before the session starts. Sometimes it will screw up if the card is pulled out to quickly after a session.

Depending on the devices family code the .005 will contain just the flow rate waveform, or also contain mask pressure (as in the case of family 5 ASV devices)

The other two file types (the .001 & .002) are all that's needed for calculations.

Just want to give an update since I'd been reporting bugs on an earlier version of SleepyHead 0.8.

The problems on my Eee PC with the graphics getting stuck and not changing were fixed in 0.8.2 and remain fixed in 0.2.3.

But there's still one annoying bug that I don't think has been reported: If SH 0.8.3 is open when my computer goes to sleep or when I close the top, when I look at SH after waking the machine up, it's all goofy: The graphs are either blacked out or not there at all---when I click on "Overview", the splash page shows up. When I click back on "Daily" the Overview panel still shows through the part of the window where the graphs are, the Overview Panel is still visible. The sidebar with the summary data shows up, however. And changes appropriately when you click on a different day.

Haven't kept up with this thread at all. I notice the long term summary data that was in SH 0.7 is gone. I assume that it will be back (eventually) when other more pressing things are dealt with.

Finally,

I agree 100% with this. SleepyHead is amazing for alpha and as it stands would be a respectable piece of beta software. Keep up the good work Jedimark. We're really lucky you've been willing to take on this project and we're even luckier that you've been determined to do it right. Thanks!

Bookbear fwiw- I have seen new users, eager to see the data, remove the card too soon after turning the machine off and before the data is written to the card. The machine is not sure if the current session is complete just yet and may need up to an hour to finalize the session.

The good thing is - these new fangled machines are sposed to write the data when the card is re-inserted.

The bad thing is - I think removing the card when the machine is writing to it results in damaged and unreadable cards and many are not figuring out why yet.

Ah, yes, a bathroom break or letting the dogs out in the middle of the night.

Pushing the stop button doesn't give it a clue?

Thanks... I'll pass that tip along.

I enabled "display crashy snapshots" today to see what it was. Never did figure that out, but I guess it works. SH crashed.

Greetings all,
Still can't get SH to import, and I'm wondering if it's because my SD card doesn't show .005 files, it shows .004/b] along with the .001 and .002

Don't know what .004 is supposed to show but could this be the reason SH doesn't find anything? I'll try dealing with the DME tomorrow but based on the past six months, I don't hold out any hope of finding anything out.

Thanks to all who have helped me so far.
Linda

anyone want to help someone who has no clue what I just read on any of the previous pages?
I tried to download the zip files and the program would just stop working. I wasn't sure
how to locate a folder for my card reader? I can find the device, but don't know how to extract the data.

Could you please confirm which machine you are using??
The one showing in your profile is not supported by SleepyHead.
If you use the DT3500 card reader, out of luck.
Now if you have one of the new PR System One machines...maybe I can help. I have screen shots in a couple of my posts (scroll back in the posts to see) and the last one shows the "folder" that SH .0.8.3 needs.
Also you might try 8.1 as it is a bit easier to manage for a newbie.
