Howdy Yawnmaster,
For software download information, check out the threads in our Private Files & Links Forum, here:

Specifically, the two main software programs that will work with your S9 AutoSet are
ResScan and
SleepyHead. Both programs have their own thread in the above link, with instructions on how to obtain the software for free.
If you need help after installing ResScan, see this thread:

If you need help after installing SleepyHead, see this thread:

Hope this helps!

What you will see other than the AHI is the leak rate and the overall pattern. It is well worth it.

It'll show you more details. You can use either ResScan or SleeryHead and they're both available on Apnea Board.

RE: S9 sleep quality missing
You may need to go into the clinician's menu and set "sleep quality" to "on" to make it record full data.
ResMed decided that sleep quality off is the standard setting. Shame on you, ResMed!

RE: S9 sleep quality missing
Thanks everybody, I will do this now. I just need to decide which one and report back.
RE: S9 sleep quality missing
I suggest you download and install both. I just did and today finally got to see real data with them.
At first glance, I liked the SleepyHead better as there was not a lot of stuff I will never use. But there were things I liked about ResScan, too.
But I won't make up my mind as to which one I like until I have way more data. One night's worth was rather useless!
