I am trying to sync my Wellue Oxygen Ring data to my Resmed Airsense 10 data in OSCAR, as seems to be frequently discussed here. I apologize if this is obvious, or if I am missing something, but I have read the wiki about how to sync these things up, and am trying to follow the “optional” step of renaming the file on the O2 ring.
Link to wiki to which I refer: {Oops! Not allowed to post the link as a new user, but you can see in the photo below that it is a page titled Wellue Viatom File Import.}
But does this assume that the ring was put on at precisely the same time as the CPAP session was started? (This information is not stated in the wiki, unless I missed it.) I do not necessarily do this, as preparing for sleep is now a whole litany of steps which are achieved in a randomly selected order. And the nature of beginning the 2 datasets would suggest that even in the best of circumstances, they still are only being aligned within a fairly imprecise margin. (I am certainly willing to calibrate my preparations more precisely… I just cannot do that for past datasets!)
But it doesn’t make sense to me that there would be ANY way to sync the times properly unless the two pieces of data began at precisely the same time…..? (Except by making an educated guess, which I realize is how it is done.) It does make me wonder, however, if there would be a way to create an event that could be used to align the 2 sets of data, and subsequently a way to “slide” the O2 data to align with the CPAP data within OSCAR. (For example, holding one’s breath while wearing CPA + O2 ring.) Still not terribly precise, but at least it would give a clue. Of course, that would probably require a level of programming beyond the willingness of nearly everyone to futz with it.
Anyhow, my main question is: Does the O2 dataset have to begin at the same moment as the CPAP dataset in order to utilize the “optional” method described in the wiki? (See screenshot). Barring that, is there a different method to sync the times?
