Oscar Dummy - Help me get started using Oscar

[hillybilly bear]

Hello Guy,
  "Desktop OpenGL" was the graphics engine I had selected. I tried again to upload the logs. I am a "Computer dummy" as well as a "Oscar dummy" (dual degrees) so I hope I got it this time. Thanks.

ok, got the logs but they did not provide an answer. 

The failing module is the Intel graphics driver, so the problem likely has something to do with your operating system or driver version.

Try this: hold down the SHIFT key while you double click on the OSCAR icon to start OSCAR. Hold the shift key down until the OSCAR window appears.

Select File > Preferences > General. The setting at the upper left of the Preferences dialog General page allows you to select the graphics engine. The selection should now be set to "Software Engine." If still set to OpenGL, set it instead to "Software Engine."

See if the problem you are having still appears. If it does, I'm going to suggest updating your video driver. Are you allowing Windows to update itself automatically?

Guy,
  Changing the graphics engine from "OpenGL" to "Software Engine." took care of the problem. Your good at this , thanks.

using F12 is preferable as it performs some formating
View / Take Screenshot also works.

I have a question. My doctor has changed my machine from a Res Med AirCurve 10 BI-Pap to a AirCurve 10 ASV. I have only used the new machine less than a week but noticed with my new machine the Oscar charts do not show a CA (clear apena) reading. It is supposed to treat central apnea. Does absence of a chart mean my central apnea has disappeared? So far I have not had CA or OA apenas on my charts. I have  a chart for OA on Oscar but no chart for CA, just interested as to why. Thanks.

The design of the ASV is such that CA events are stopped as they are occurring in the breath that they would have occurred, VERY effectively. You will not likely see any CA events.

The Resmed ASV differs from your previous VPAP in that it does not have the FOT (forced oscillation technique) algorithm to determine whether an apnea is central or obstructive, so all apnea are recorded as UA (unknown). Show us a chart and we can take a look at the settings and therapy results if you want better information.
