logging pulse ox suggestions
Just wondering where and what model of logging pulse ox meter you have found that works well with sleepyhead? Is the Contec 50f the only unit out there that will export to a csv file? (I'm prepared to do some programming to massage the data from another brand/model so it'll import into sleepyhead).

RE: logging pulse ox suggestions
The Contec CMS-50 chip is the most popular.  SleepyHead  doesn't import SpO2 in a .csv format.  It uses the .spo2 file.  The SpO2 Assistant that accompanies the CMS-50 model will allow you to export the spo2 datafile into a .csv format.  The CMS-50F and I models are much easier to download than the 50D+ model.  However, the 50D+ model is less expensive.

The newest CMS50D+ with the micro USB connector and special cable use the same protocol as the 50F and I models. The current SleepyHead version doesn't handle the lack of date and time, and that will be fixed in the coming SleepyHead.
My problem with the 50D+ is that it is very bulky on the finger, and can slide off fairly easily.
My problem with the 50F is that the OLED died, and I can't see anything, even in the dark.
