Since I got my brand new toy, I get to put on my Top Gun gear every night, but I wanted to see the data too so I installed Oscar. However it reads only the first data segments, ignoring a second segment if the machine is interrupted in the middle of the night. For example last night I woke up around 4am and switched the machine off, removed the mask, and back in bed two minutes later switched it on, put my mask back on, and went back to sleep. Sure enough, there are a couple of data files on the SD card with timestamps showing the 4am end time, but there are also files with timestamps of 08.24 which is when I woke up this morning, removed the mask, and switched off the CPAP.
The only data displayed in Oscar is from midnight to 4am, which corresponds to the first session last night, but it ignores the data from 04:02 until 08:24. So my 8 hours got truncated to less than 4 hours! Has anybody else seen the same issue?

Thanks OpalRose, good tip. However there is only one session displayed. The second session isn't displayed at all, instead I see the first session on its own in the list when I toggle the sidebar.
Could be the software doesn't see the second session in the data, or if some key information about the second session is not recorded correctly on the SD card.

Here you go sheepless. It's a Philips Dreamstation. The computer OS is Windows, do you think that could be relevant?
The data was copied in via other means since this PC can't read large-format SD cards.
See the image below, looks like the paste image got a bit discombobulated.
solidmuldoon,
Use the links in my signature line below to organize and setup your OSCAR graphs.
Once you have your page set up according to what we want to see (eliminate the calendar and pie chart), go to View and Take Screenshot (F12).
Now use the link below that tells you how to use the attachment feature to post that data here.
Some other things to consider...
I assume you had your SD card in the Cpap the entire night.
Also, check OSCAR under File, Preferences, Import...what are the settings for Combine Close Sessions and Ignore Short Sessions?

OpalRose, you assume correctly, I didn't remove the SD card in the middle of the night. Per my OP, the SD card also has data files that were created at 08:24.
The Combine Close and Ignore Short values are the defaults, 240min and 5min respectively.
