Aircurve stopped showing Flow Limit in OSCAR

Aircurve stopped showing Flow Limit in OSCAR
Hi friends, I'm on day 5 of using an Aircurve 11 and I see that it (or OSCAR) has suddenly stopped reporting Flow Limit graphs.

I see that back on the Feb 6th, it has flow limit data for my nap session, but no data plotted for overnight. At first I thought that I had no flow limits at all for the overnight period. But then the following day the graph is not even plotted- there is no "Flow Limit" graph at all (I do have Flow Rate FWIW.) And yes, I did make sure it wasn't simply unchecked in the menu that allows you to choose which graphs are displayed.

Is there a way to tell whether this is an OSCAR vs an Aircurve problem? I tried "purge current selected day" and re-imported the data, no change.

I did have two recent hiccups with the SD Card on the Aircurve, which I suspect are related to the problem. I have always been careful to wait for the blue flashing light to complete before removing the card, and yet:

1) when re-inserting the card after doing my data collection (I think maybe after my first session?) it complained about the card (don't remember exact error message, sorry!) I did not know about locking the card while using it on the computer, and perhaps my Mac wrote a .DS_Store or something that it didn't like. I ended up removing, then re-inserting the card, and then it seemed happy.

2) at some point when re-inserting the SD card from another session, the Aircurve suddenly decided it needed to do a diagnostic test, which it assured me would take 10 seconds. I let it sit for several minutes and it never got out of that screen, so eventually I just powered it off (pressed the button- didn't try unplugging). Seemed to work fine afterward.

I don't know if there way to reboot it, short of unplugging it. I would appreciate any tips you might have to resolve this, thank you.

Hi GreenAvocado! - Welcome
It sounds like you are using the "S" mode, since it doesn't report Flow Limitations.

Bingo, data dropped off when I switched to S mode! 

I found the Auto uncomfortable and wanted to manually titrate. I didn't realize the data was only reported in Auto mode. Reading the forum a bit I see that some people are using Auto with a tight IPAP/EPAP range to get flow limits, so maybe I can try that. 

Thank you so much, Crimson Nape!
