To get the best possible results from your machine it's necessary to see in detail what's happening during your sleep. Most major manufacturers have a simple web-based software which provides some basic data, such as the hours used and AHI. Examples are Resmed MyAir and Philips Respironics xxxxDreamMapper. Much more detailed data can be viewed using the manufacturer's professional software (eg Resmed ResScan and Philips Encore). Generally speaking these professional software packages are complex and difficult to use.
The preferred software is OSCAR (Open Source CPAP Analysis Reporter), which is a derivative of the SleeyHead program. This supports a wide range of machines, is relatively easy to use, and generates charts and tables to allow you to see exactly what happened on a breath-by-breath basis. We recommend machines that are supported by Oscar, as they will have the most complete support for user-friendly analytical software. [https://www.apneaboard.com/sleepyhead Link to OSCAR Software]
