Forgot to put my data card back in machine for a week

This is not the first time I've forgotten to put my data card back into my machine, but usually when I do it syncs the data in the machine's memory and I can then download it.

Today I've tried twice to get the data from the past week, but nothing is showing up. I've been careful to leave the card in the machine while it is apparently writing data to the card, and only removing it when the normal screen reappears.

I'm using Sleepyhead at the moment (and I am aware that others have had some problems with Sleepyhead not showing new data), but how do I know whether it's a failure of the machine to write the data, the card to record it, or Sleepyhead to import it?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed.

Bumping this to the top so somebody who knows more about your machine sees it.

The data should be stored on the machine except for waveform or flow rate graphs.
It should then write that data to the SD card.
Can you navigate to the SD card and look inside the P0 folder and see what the newest file dates?
If recent dates are seen (they will be at the very bottom of the file list...and there are 3 files per date...with file extensions .001, .002 and .005. The .005 files are the wave form files so they won't be there the nights the card was not in the machine but the other files should be there.
If they are there..then SleepyHead is not finding them, so try creating a new location and make sure that it points only to the drive letter where the SD card sits and not any further.
If you don't find anything within the last week then the data isn't being written to the SD card for some reason.

A few weeks ago, for some reason unknown to me, WinDoze decided that my SD card was now drive I: For well over a year it had been H:

Since you had the card out, check it and make sure you didn't write protect or lock the card. You may have unintentionally bumped it and locked it. Those of us who have done something like that will never admit to it, it was always a friend or co worker who did it.

I suppose it's possible that I could accidentally have locked -- and then unlocked -- the card, but I usually only hold the card at the other end and not by the side. As I mentioned in another post, the card *did* record last night.

It's a mystery!

I didn't see that you said ir recorded last nights data. I know with my old M series it didn't always record right after I shut it off, but if I came back after I showered it would have been recorded. I don't know if the new machines are like that, but if you had it in and it recorded data already that wouldn't have been the case.

Perhaps the card wasn't inserted all the way and the data was sent to the card but didn't make it there.


I hate to say this but if it recorded last night, i think the data for that time is gone. Thats just a guess on my part!
