It does offer full data and I explained in my previous post what all was needed and if OP wanted help with software..just send me a note.
The Smart card reader (the only one that will work) is the DT3500 Infineer and $40 is the cheapest I have found from a US supplier. From China a bit less but not by much.
Smart card $10 if the machine doesn't already have one.
Encore Viewer 2.0 or Encore Pro 2.4 will both work. Since the M series doesn't collect wave form data nothing is lost by using the simpler Viewer software (only limit is that Viewer is for 32 bit computer). So for less headaches (usually with install)...in this instance Viewer is the better choice (if 32 bit computer)..much smaller and the reports are identical to the reports one gets in Pro from a M series machine. With Viewer we don't have the log in ID and password stuff. It is all about the patient. Pro is 90% DME office stuff and 10% patient.
Pro can be a real PITA for some people...others never have a problem with it.
