Oscar 1.3 "Mode and Pressure settings missing; yesterday's shown."

[DrNefario]

I loaded Oscar 1.3 on October 18, 2021 hoping to try to fix the Oscar error message that said my CPAP pressure settings were not available and it was using yesterday's data. 

This is the procedure I used:

1. I renamed my ***\Documents\OSCAR folder to ***\Documents\OSCAR_Data_old.  
2. I then used my SDcard folder with all the Datalog and Settings info to update my Sleepyhead program. 
3. I then uninstalled Oscar because I wanted to recreate a new profile by migrating my Sleepyhead profile.  I read that this option to 'migrate' was only offered upon a new installation of Oscar. 
4. I installed the new Oscar version 1.3 and did the migration.  The new profile is at ***\Documents\OSCAR_Data and replaces the old one.  It includes my profile.    Now it works OK.  The message is gone.  All my data is there going back some years.

The next day when I imported the new day data Oscar reverted to the old behavior where it says "(Mode and Pressure settings missing; yesterday's shown.)" in the daily view.  Now I am again getting the message every day.

This doesn't happen in Sleepyhead.
Sleepyhead reports:
ResMed AirSense 10
AutoSetModel 37090 - 2321143xxxx
PAP Mode: APAP
Min 5.6 Max 13 (cmH2O)

Oscar 1.3 reports:
ResMed
AirSense 10 AutoSet
PAP Mode: APAP
Min 5.6 Max 13.0 (cmH2O)
(Mode and Pressure settings missing; yesterday's shown.)

Any ideas?

That looks odd... It displays the mode and pressures, then says there's no settings.

If you would zip up your SD card and give it your user name, then upload it to https://www.dropbox.com/request/6VeFzBXa4qZ37EgphL5b
I'll try to track down what's going on and fix it.
You can use OSCAR to zip your card using the Help->Troubleshooting->Create zip...

That sounds vaguely familiar. Think it was last year (maybe longer) when there was an issue with str.edf not being copied properly. But that was fixed as far as I know.

Problem Solved; A Big Thank You!

Jeff8356 mentioned an issue with str.edf not being copied properly.  That clued me in to my issue.
I am using a FlashAIR card in my CPAP and have a batch file to daily copy the Datalog day sub folder and synchronize the Settings folder.
I missed the fact that the str.edf was updated daily.  Adding a line to copy that file to my routine fixed the issue.

Actually... the Settings folder will only be looked at in the AS11 series, not yet, but soon

but yes, the STR.edf file is essential, and, of course, the DATALOG folder

[Jeff8356]

Glad to hear you got it working!

I sync ALL the data from my FlashAir card to my NAS. This way I have a full backup of the SD card. OSCAR is quite happy pulling data from my NAS.

I know this is old but - first: thanks.  This helped me with the same issue.
Second - if anyone else uses Linux and davfs to copy the files from the card to a NAS make sure when you do the cp command to either use "cp -avr" to copy *all* of the files regardless of whether they changed, or if you use "cp -avrun" make sure you specifically also copy the STR.edf with no additional flags so you are positive it is overwriting the old one.

My copy command copied all the files necessary but the flags I added (to speed it up) skipped existing files so I wasn't getting the current STR.edf file.

You can also use "rsync" to copy only modified or newer files, too. I run a bash script that automatically does this.

+1 for rsync (on a Mac).  After the initial copy it goes pretty fast for daily copying.

Code:

rsync -avz --info=progress2 /source/files/  /destination/files/
