Re: need "autoscan 3.12" software cd or download

Carolyn got the password deal straightened out for me (yay Carolyn) so if anyone has the Autoscan 3.12 and/or can help me get my hands on it, I can now receive PM's.

Thanks!

third night on 2nd hand S8 Elite ... "sleep lust"

Interesting. Higher leak rate, lower AI, same AHI. Shows to go you the need to collect several nights of data before making changes based on one night's data.
