Oscar not seeing Wellue 02 Monitor Data
I have not used my O2 monitor in a while but when I went to upload data today Oscar did not see the device or any files. I tried the Wellue "special" cable and a standard USB cable. I then tried both cables with my Linux file manager and it did not see the device either. Next, I went to a Windows 10 system. When plugged in with either cable, I got the ping sound that usually signifies a new storage connection but the file manager did not show a USB device. Finally I downloaded the O2 Insight Pro app on Windows 10 and was able to access the O2 monitor, save the file and transfer to Oscar. I'm using Oscar 1.4.0 and last downloaded O2 data in July. Did somthing change with Oscar or have I forgotten somthing about uploading? Any suggestions?
RE: Oscar not seeing Wellue 02 Monitor Data
It depends. On newer ViHealth (Android and iOS) apps, a ".dat" extension has been added to the binary filename. OSCAR version 1.5.0 has this file type extension added to its search function. If you are using version 1.4, you will need to delete this extension from the filename prior to importing it into OSCAR.
The Wellue/Viatom devices use a special USB/HID cable. Only the supplied cable will work for their devices. To the best of my knowledge, the USB/HID cable connection will not be recognized by Linux. I don't know of a driver that has been written for Linux to communicate with this type of configuration. Only the O2 Insight Pro app for Windows or Mac will do this.
Your O2 Insight data location may have also been changed. I would look at the Options → Data Location path. If you select the Browser button you can select the full path, copy it, and use this when specifying a path in OSCAR.
