If I haven't installed 3.14, do I need to install 3.14 before install 3.16?

dcsys Wrote:OK, so I downloaded ResScan 3.16 SP1. I have a MacBook Pro running OS-X 10.7.2 with VMware Fusion 4.1.0 installed. I have a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate Virtual Machine. I installed the software WITHOUT selecting the drivers as instructed. Unfortunately, the SD Card slot on the newer MacBook Pro is a PCIe device and not a USB device, so I could use it. I copied the files to a USB to microSD adapter that I got a while ago. I attached the USB to MicroSD adapter to the Windows VM and the software worked like a champ!

No I need to interpret that report. On to the RTFM phase.

Thanks for the link!

Thanks Zonk. I use the S9 Elite. This my second month on CPAP and I'm really starting to feel GOOD.

Glad you like the S9, It is the best data reporting machine.

Warning window opens:

I "believe" what you are seeing is to make all of the settings to the S9 via the SD Card.

IMHO, "I" would NOT do it that way!

1st - It is MUCH simpler to just choose your settings via the S9.
To do that, you need to 1st have the "Clinician's" Guide which is available on this forum.

2nd - You should periodically format the SD card to keep the "skew" problem from getting too bad. I format my SD card every week, but most say you can go two weeks before the skew becomes very noticeable.

Every time you format the SD card, you would have to reinput the settings if you use the SD card to do that.

I have a 2nd SD card (2 GB but 1 GB is sufficient if you can still find them) & alternate between the two so that I can just put in the already formatted 2nd SD card into my S9. That gives me more time to download the information from the 1st SD card into ResScan when I get the chance.

Make sure you get a plain vanilla SD card & not the newer SD cards. They are getting harder & harder to find but they are still out there. I found one at my local Office Depot, but they had already taken them off the shelves to make room for the newer ones. Amazon has some. So does the 1st online CPAP supplier (#1 on the list).

Lastly, I would get the free SDFormatter (SD card formating software).
It is best to use that particualar SD Card formating software because it does not mess with the hidden area of the SD Card that ResMed & others use. Others have reported problems with ResScan & the S9 not seeing the SD card if it is formatted using anything else. Some have no problems at all. But, I don't see any reason to ask for problems when there is a way to avoid them to begin with.

Here is the blurb from the SDFormatter website that explains it more.

SD Formatter 3.1 for SD/SDHC/SDXC
This software formats all SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards and SDXC memory cards. SD Formatter provides quick and easy access to the full capabilities of your SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards.

The SD Formatter was created specifically for memory cards using the SD/SDHC/SDXC standards. It is strongly recommended to use the SD Formatter instead of formatting utilities provided with operating systems that format various types of storage media. Using generic formatting utilities may result in less than optimal performance for your memory cards.

The SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards have a "Protected Area" on the card for the SD standard's security function. The SD Formatter does not format the "Protected Area". Please use appropriate application software or SD-compatible device that provides SD security function to format the "Protected Area" in the memory card.

The question is, in the detail screen Event graph, what do the numbers in the box mean? I understand the color coding for OSA, CSA, etc. but there is a small square above the event tag with a number. For me, it is usually 10 - 15. I can't find anything in the help file.

I'd really appreciate any help!

It makes me feel that I really don't want ResScan that badly. What do others do?
