Question on my new Resmed Malibu

Post by Garyw » Fri May 25, 2007 6:16 pm

Just got this today and have yet to try it out yet. Since this has no smart card it appears to me that all I need is a serial to USB cable and the Res Scan software loaded up to my laptalk. Is this coirrect? anybody have knowledge of this new machine?

Thanks Gary

If it works like the previous ResMed machines, you'll need a null modem cable, and you can plug that into a serial port on your computer. If you have no serial ports, get a usb->serial dongle, and then you're set.
