Is it possible you're having such large leaks that the machine is shutting itself off? What does your leak graph look like?

MY machine doesn't turn on and off. I use a full face mask, so that isn't an option. And except for one time when there was a humidifier error, it has always been on when I wake up. The leak has been pretty good. Only one time above the line. When it is leaking enough to bother me (less than the acceptable level for the machine), I turn off the machine, adjust it, and then turn it back on.

I thought maybe it was multiple tiny boxes together, but it only makes sense for some of the days and not others when I look at the mask event data.

Who would have thought it would be this challenging to sleep and breathe at the same time?

I haven't printed anything for over 2 yrs but with my S8 AutoSet II and ResScan 3.7, would save the daily report [with statistics, graphs, etc.] as a pdf file, and then print the pdf file.

Still trying to figure out how to manipulate the data with my new S9 and ResScan 3.17....

Can you describe the problem you are having with ResScan?
