Identify nights by notes? - BlueSky1958 - 06-10-2023

I am experimenting with a product, using it on and off. I'd like to be able to find the nights I use it and compare my stats against those nights I don;t use it to see if its making a meaningful difference. Is it possible to use Notes to differentiate and export?

The upcoming release has a Search function that will allow this. You can probably use a Bookmark or Notes to mark these days. I tested this using both of them with success. For the Note parameter, I added the note "test" to several days. Preforming a search on notes containing the word "test" returned all of them.

If you are wondering, you can thank LoudSnorer for this contribution.

The beta release of OSCAR is not too far off. No date has been set, though. In the interim, you can download and build the current source code for this feature.

where do you go to generate a search? Don't see it.

BlueSky1958, it has not been released yet. The current version of OSCAR 1.4.0 does not have this Search feature.

When you start using it,make a *slight* change to your therapy values. 

For example change your maximum pressure by 0.2. Assuming your therapy is optimized, and you never bump against your max, the pressure change won't change your numbers.

But what it will do is make another entry in OSCAR's "Statistics / Changes to Device" history. This will allow your to conveniently look at the impact, without having to do any math, and the longer you use it (continuously) have it be statistically significant.

How do you do a search in NOtes for text as you describe here?


RE: Identify nights by notes? - Crimson Nape - 06-11-2023

Unless you are using the newest alpha code, you can not search notes. Dog Slobber was offering a workaround by slightly changing your pressure . This will cause a new listing at the bottom of the Statistics page.
