Software support for ResMed Sullivan AutoSet T?

[kcriqui]

I'd like to use an older machine that I already have for a while before spending the money for a more modern one.  It's a ResMed Sullivan AutoSet T.  It's working and I'm waiting to get the Clinicians manual so I can set it up.  I'd also like to be able to collect data from it, but the current version of ResScan and SleepyHead don't support it.  it has just the RS-232 port on the back, no data card that I can locate. I assume I got the cabling right (DB9 null modem cable) because ResScan 5.8 popped up a window when I plugged it in saying it found a device, but it wasn't compatible.

Does anyone know if there is an older version of ResScan that supported the AutoScan T?  I also saw a reference to software called AutoScan, but haven't been able to find a downloadable copy.

If I remember correctly, I believe you are looking for Autoscan Version 3.0 to support your machine. Looked over my software stash and couldn't find where I had saved a copy.

srlevine1 is probably right that you'd need the software he mentioned. I have no clue on where to get it however.

Not sure if older versions of ResScan would work or not for that machine.

Generally they keep older versions of ResScan on the server - not sure how far back they go...

But all you have to do to download the older version(s) is change the download link you receive in the email from the current version (5.8) to 5.7, 5.6, 5.5, etc. Not sure if you can go all the way back to the 4.0 versions or the 3.0 versions though.

Thanks.  The oldest version I could find was 5.1 and it gives me the same error message.  I did get the Clinician's manual which let me reset the machine so I can use it, but can't extract any useful data from it yet.  Maybe someone will have a link to the ancient AutoScan software.  The manual says version 3.1 or later should work.

I was able to find a copy of AutoScan for download here: http://softdw.review/ogodw/s.php?q=Resme...e+download

I have not checked or reviewed it in any way, so it's entirely at your own risk.

Thanks for looking that up.  I just had a chance to check it out, but I got this warning so I didn't actually try the download

kcriqui,
Wise decision not to download from that site.   I let my pointer hover on the url above and Malwarebytes jumped up with a warning.  I didn't even click on it, so something must be up.

ResScan 4.1 should be the latest version to support that machine.

google for: "download/31302_ResScan_3.14.exe" (with or without the quotes - does not really matter)

(haven't checked that - you may want to virus-scan that^^)

[kcriqui]

Thanks so much.  I found that easily, it passed virus check and installed perfectly.  I'm happily downloading detailed information from my ancient CPAP as we speak!
