Can someone help me

Can someone help me
OSCAR gives a lot of data, but I'm not sure how to interpret it so that I can determine what I should set my APAP/CPAP pressures to. Where should I start? I looked at the OSCAR manual in the sticky thread, but it's not very useful because it's super technical. It would be better to have a simple instruction set.

You can take a screenshot of your Oscar results and post the image as an attachment on a forum post. The instructions for Organizing Your Oscar Charts and Attaching Files are in my signature links below. Get a chart up, and we can help you interpret them for optimization.

Hello dboom!  Welcome to Apnea Board!

We'll need to see some data in order to advise you on settings.

The first thing you will need to do is to download the free OSCAR software.  Set up a profile according to instruction.  Be sure you have a SD card in your Cpap while sleeping.

Once you have a night or two under your belt, you can post a Screenshot or two of the daily page from OSCAR.

The links in my Signature Line will guide you in setup and using the Attachment Feature to post your Screenshot.

RE: Can someone help me
To add to the advice from the above posts, when posting your images, please create a thread in the Main forum. Please title it to something along the lines of, "dboom Therapy Help". This will provide a broad enough title to encompass all your further posts regarding your therapy and allow you to keep them in one thread.

My oscar report
Why does it only say I used it for 1 hour when I used it all night? Could someone help me interpret the report?

Why can't I upload the entire PDF I exported?

RE: My oscar report
A Resmed day is from noon till noon the next day. Seeing your profile's location, I'm guessing that you have the wrong timezone set in the AS11.

Information 
Need support on my oscar report and what I should do
What do you guys think? Is there anything I could do to improve it or modify the settings to improve my sleep? Also, this device has support for an oximeter, does anyone know of any that are supported? I bought one on amazon but it won't pair.

dboom -  All your threads deal with your therapy.  For this reason, I am merging them into one thread and moving it to the Main Forum.  Please use this thread for all posts regarding your therapy.  This provides a history of your treatment.

On another note, the printout doesn't help as much as a screenshot of the Daily screen.  The OSCAR layout is designed to display the graphs in the order of importance.

AS11 BLE oximeter - It can only connect to the Nonin 3150BLE oximeter. They cost from $900 - $1000 USD.

RE: Can someone help me
Yes it helps but tomorrow try to put in the charts that are most needed.  The fastest way is the panel on the left.  At the very top you will see "File View Data Help".  Click on view and then on the drop down ment click "Reset Graphs" next choose "Standard"?.  If anyone needs to see other charts they will ask you to show those special graphs.

For now I would suggest you try the following setting and post a night with those settings.

Min 7
EPR turned to Full Time
EPR set to 3
you can leave the max where it is.
Apnea (80-100%) 10 seconds, Hypopnea (50-80%) 10 seconds, Flow Limits (0-50%) not timed  Cervical Collar - Dealing w DME - Chart Organizing
