Trying to get OSCAR to work with my DreamStation [for work-around, see post #9]

[Gulfstream]

Okay,

I have disabled Opti-Start and will report back with my results in a couple of days.  Thanks for the replies, and the suggestion!!

That's interesting. It raises the questions "Does that change what the Dreamstation records on the SD card?" and "Does that change how OSCAR processes the data?".

Tried to find the answer to the first question by examining file sizes, and they looked the same. I also loaded my data into EncorePro2, but only the most recent day loaded the breath-by-breath data, not all past full data sets, so I couldn't tell.

I have the DreamStation BiPap Auto SV Advanced 900 xxx  And Using Oscar  1 .0.1.-R-1 and never had  Opti-Start on  

It Seems to be working great for me   Tho

I had this problem with my Dreamstation autoSV. I think it was the OptiStart setting. When I turned it on I got limited data; when I turned it back off I got all the data.

Thanks b.e.wilson, This seems to have solved my problem!  Two days after disabling OptiStart it appears that I have all fields and graphs populated with data.  Of course it is data that I do not fully understand but I will have spend time learning the program.  Thanks to all who have responded!!

DreamStation BiPap Auto SV Advanced 900 xxx And Using Oscar 1 .0.1.-R-1 and Opti-Start Turned on
Very little data shows up in Oscar and my Ahi show as zero due to limited data

my Readings in dreamapper shows 1.8 before i turned Opti-Start on and the last 2 sessions have been 0.8 and 0.7 So Opti-Start is doing something right

Looking like a tweak is needed on Oscar to Get it to work correctly with Opti-Start on and the DreamStation BiPap Auto SV Advanced 900 xxx units

Oscar did read the Data correctly before i tuned on opti-start

britincanada, It does make me wonder what is the purpose/advantage of OptiStart.  I will monitor my AHI (which was very slightly higher during this test) for a period of time.  Of course, if notice a consistently higher AHI, I will resume using OptiStart.  I just wish that OSCAR could be made to work without a work-around that eliminates a, possibly, useful or necessary option.

It seems encore pro only give full data for the most recent day. You have to download every day to get full plots. Its only ever given me last night's full data. Once you download it you'll have it forever though. At least that's what I'm able to do.

Good to hear you are up and running. I have not had problems since I began loading my data daily. Some of my past data may have been corrupted or one of the programmers made some tweaks to OSCAR? 

As far as learning more about OSCAR, I went to freecpapadvice.com (free cpap advice) and most of my questions were answered.

Thank You, Gary, I am now also searching for info on freecpapadvice.com.  Glad to find another information source!

I had a similar problem. I uninstalled Oscar, deleted the Oscar folders, then reinstalled.

Worked like a charm.
