    You can download the "Oscar" program. Go to MyApnea.org to get a link. With Oscar, you can download all the info from you sd card. For someone that has Sleep Apnea, they can monitor their daily use, see when an apnea event happens and track their usage. You can also print reports that many DOT examiners will accept.
    That being said, I have heard that Phillips Respironics is starting to encrypt the sd cards on their machines to stop patients from seeing this data. Don't know what they are afraid of.

    What a PITA that is.
    I can download mine directly from the machine to my device. I can email the file directly to the DOT physical location for immediate verification, or to my company quarterly when they send me a reminder.

    I’d be surprised if your machine lacks this capability in this day and age. Good luck!

    You take your machine to the dr and they give you a readout.
