I need to know which flavor of OSCAR you are using
The prog used to install is OSCAR-1.3.1-Win64.exe
Properties/Details see screenshot
Hope it is the answer you want for the "flavor"

It looks to me like the installer SHA-256 matches. That would be the one that matters

Almost but I don't think the difference matters [attachment=39553]
When I posted the checksum

Got it jut now for OSCAR-1.3.1-Win64.exe I used to install Oscar.
Checksum from SHA256 File Checksum from [https://emn178.github.io/online-tools/sha256_checksum.html] 8f393f30c051b320e725f25efebb31d59f0ed3b0f35ee02bb480658cf3df9a75
Now, I got the checksum for OSCAR.exe the installed prog

Conclusion: My Oscar is OK then
Quote:GuyScharf If you can repeat this failure to import problem, please do so, exit OSCAR, zip the OSCAR diagnostic logs and upload to my Dropbox folder. Please include your forum name in the zip file name so we know who the file is from.
Just had a short sleep and I tried to have that problem show up. No luck, without purging machine data, I told Oscar to upload the SD card (the card not a copy) and it did it no problem. Tomorrow (later I mean) I will check again with and without a copy and let you know what happens.

I tried to get that failure again this morning.
Nothing doing, Oscar uploaded everything correctly.
One thing new though, there was a major update for my Windows 11 during the night.
I don't think it matters but I am no judge there.
Again a small glitch.
Yesterday I made a screenshot for the daily report in Oscar.
The AHI value in the orange bar on the left was 0.78
The graph for AHI showed nothing or AHI = 0
See screenshot 22-02-02-A.png
This morning I made another screenshot, 22-02-02-B.png
It shows my last 3 sessions with AHI = 0 for the first and third.
The first being the same one as yesterday.
So, was yesterday daily view wrong ?
I must be jinxed for all the glitches I'm getting

OK, I assume that is the way Oscar deals with AHI.
Reading a bunch of articles about AHI I came to understand that all or nearly all sleep specialist used the AHI to assess the quality of sleep.
Quote:WebMD
The apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) is a scale that tells whether you have a sleep disorder called apnea and, if so, how serious it is.
So, the "scientific community" sees the AHI as a worthwhile evaluation factor to base a therapy on. The consensus is that AHI is the total number of events within a period divided by the duration of the period.
Quote:WebMD
Sleep apnea is when you stop breathing for 10 seconds or more while you’re asleep. A similar disorder, hypopnea, is a partial loss of breath for 10 seconds or longer.
Quote:WebMD
If your doctor thinks you have sleep apnea, they may have you do a sleep study. You’ll spend the night at a sleep center, where you’ll be hooked up to equipment. The sleep tests will tell your doctor how many times each hour you have apnea or hypopnea.
My own pneumologist had me go through a test to specifically evaluate my AHI (b.t.w. is was 34).
Now, Oscar (Crimson Nape referral) says
Quote:This chart is basically a running count of the number of 'events' (OA + CA + H) in the previous 60 minutes. As such, it is not particularly useful
Am I to conclude the specialists are all out in the field while Oscar is the Real McCoy or is my understanding screwed up?
