# Tabs to select details, events, notes and bookmarks. These will be discussed in greater detail below.
# AHI Summary. This is your '''apnea / hypopnea index''' for the sessions under review. It is the total number of apneas and hypopneas divided by the total hours of sleep. Generally this will be for the whole night, however if you have turned any sessions on or off (See No 11 below) then the AHI is given only for the sessions turned on.
# Machine type and settings summary. This gives the make and model of CPAP machine. The PAP mode is the particular algorithm set on the machine (many machines can operate in more than one mode). It also shows the pressure settings. If you hover the mouse curser over the machine name, the model number and serial number will appear in a pop-up box. '''Note:''' The settings for PC, S, and S/T modes on Philips Respironics System One machines may be displayed as random garbage numbers - this is a known problem and will be fixed in a later release of OscarOSCAR.
# Session starting, ending and total times. Shows when the machine was turn on and off, and the total elapsed time. Note that although this is used to calculate the time asleep, the CPAP machine has no way of knowing if you were actually asleep or not.
# Event rates per hour. A simplified view of the different types of events you have experienced. Note that some machines display more or fewer event types, and these can be selected in the Event flag selector on the Daily page.
** The notes for a particular day can be included in the printed report. It's necessary to deselect all graphs except one, using the chart selector menu at the bottom right of the page. To print the report, go to the menu '''File | Print Report'''. Notes you have saved will be included in the printout.
** You can export all your notes as an xml file for backup purposes or additional analysis. Use the menu option '''File | Backup Journal'''.
** Oscar OSCAR will calculate your '''body mass index (BMI)''' at the bottom of the Notes section. You must enter your weight each day. You must also enter your height in your profile (see [http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php?title=Running_OSCAR_for_the_first_time Running Oscar OSCAR for the First Time] ). If either the weight or height are not entered the BMI calculation will not appear.
* The '''Bookmarks tab''' lets you record the time of significant events you may wish to refer back to, such as an exceptionally long apnea.
