There might be a save profile button. I don’t remember. Take a look before leaving the profile page

Strange. I created new profile and inserted SD card. Import achieved.

However, and this is a bit distressing...the ONLY day that is reporting no data found AT ALL is yesterday. Yesterday being the first day I used OSCAR. I am super happy I have my screen shots of yesterday, phew.

But why on earth would there be no data showing up for only yesterday? There is data available for the days prior to yesterday.

At any rate, I think last night was worse than the day before. I used a different mask last night. I did sort of like it better than the prior one though. I also fashioned a "soft cervical collar" for this "chin tucking" I have been told about, out of a towel to see if purchasing an actual collar would be beneficial. I also changed the starting pressure to 8 from 6 as was suggested.

I will post new data images in new thread.

Your profile and data should be automatically saved as you enter them. Two possibilities come to mind (and both may be wrong):

1. Do you perchance have two copies of Oscar installed?
2. Did you turn off the computer before exiting from Oscar? I've got into the habit of many years of shutting down every program / application before switching off.

If things are working properly there should be no need to create a new profile every day - I have one profile ported over from Sleepyhead that is over six years old.

However you do need to have the card in the machine every night. Only summary data is stored internally in the machine, and all the detailed data is written direct to the card. If the card's not in the machine there will be no detailed data for Oscar to use.

Oy vey.

So this morning I made sure I had OSCAR opened first on my computer. I inserted my SD card. No problem importing data, strangely enough and glad to see the profile I created yesterday was still there.

But now why on earth today are my detailed charts that were previously showing up for all my other days except that one day on the 11th which we talked about, not showing up EXCEPT FOR THEY ARE SHOWING UP FOR YESTERDAY AND TODAY?? When you click on the high lighted days in the calendar, the chart on the left shows up for every day (EXCEPT the 11th), but no graphs appear EXCEPT for yesterday and today.

This makes no sense. Anyone know what might be happening now? lol

Also wondering, when I was setting up the program there was an area you could check and uncheck boxes to indicate if you wanted that particular data in the reports. Should I add or delete anything there?

The defaults should be fine.

Thank you very much Jaswilliams regarding defaults.

But perhaps you or maybe someone else could shed light on the other question I have regarding problems again with data appearing properly?

You have to have the SD card in the CPAP to record detailed data. Only summayt data will be displayed for days that the card was not inserted in your CPAP.


RE: Just tried to start OSCAR for second day and none of my info is showing - Plmnb - 12-14-2019

Yes sir, I know.  The SD card has been placed in the CPAP after every single use in the computer.  That is one of the reasons this is so strange and annoying.

And the write protect tab has to be in the write position.
And you can only read the data on the card once per day.
