OSCAR can't access Oximeter data CMS50EA - zzzlessinMS - 10-30-2022
I bought Contec pulse oximeter so I could add SPO2 data. But OSCAR does not recognize device. Model Contec CMS50EA.

zzzlessinMS,
I am not familiar with the CMS50EA model, but most of the newer Contec models need to use the "Smart Device Assistant" software from Contec to get the data off the oximeter. It stores the data with an *.SpO2 extension. That file can then be imported into OSCAR.
There are two wiki pages with the info:
http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php/OSCAR_supported_machines#Pulse_Oximeters lists the supported oximeters and a link to the software (Windows only)
The second has instructions for using the software import of the SpO2 files into OSCAR:
http://www.apneaboard.com/wiki/index.php/Contec_file_import
The instructions listed are for the CMS50F but should work for most models.

I cannot find the SPO2 files. Supposedly in DATA folder of Smart Assistant but folder is empty. I can see file in Smart Assistant and appears to be in data folder. So where is Smart Assistant hiding files?

In the wiki page [here] it lists the storage location of the SpO2 files.
Code:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Smart Device Assistant V3.1.0.1\DataRE: OSCAR can't access Oximeter data CMS50EA - zzzlessinMS - 10-30-2022
There is no "AppData" folder in C:\\Users\Myname\

You may need to turn on "Hidden Items" in File Explorer.
Open File Explorer and click the View tab. Then tick the boxes for "Hidden Items" and "File name extensions".
You may need to close File Explorer for the changes to take effect. Then open File Explorer again and look for that storage location.

You could always use Windows Explorer to find them. Select the "Computer" on the left side and then use, *.spo2 as the search criteria in the upper right Search box. This will search every drive and directory on your computer for those files.

Found hidden .SpO2 file
OS (C
\Program Files (x86)\Smart Device Assistant V3.1.0.1\DataForum Displays C colon parenthesis as smile emoji. Sorry but you can figure it out I think.
How do I upload hidden file to OSCAR?
RE: OSCAR can't access Oximeter data CMS50EA - Jeff8356 - 10-30-2022
That may be the demo file that came with the software (demo.SpO2).
You can copy/paste the file somewhere easy to get to if you prefer (like Documents), then follow the instructions here: Importing SpO2 files into OSCAR
