Hello. This looks like a great site. I'm 2 months in to CPAP therapy using a Dreamstation machine w/ auto titration.
Just getting into the Sleepdata software.
I'd like to use my oximeter, a hospital-grade Masimo Radical 7 with the docking station that provides for serial output of data (one second sample rate), in conjunction with the Sleepyhead software. I'd like to be able to import the oximetry data into Sleepyhead.
The Masimo outputs data in a text file ASCII format through an RS232 connection which I can capture with a computer -- I've done this many times before to run through my own program to analyze the 02 sat data. It looks like Sleepyhead can import oximetry data from a dat file so it seems that I should be able to convert the original Masimo text file to a dat file and then import data off the dat file into Sleepyhead.
However, I'm not sure if data records would need to be reconfigured (e.g., the Masimo text file contains time, O2 sat, pulse, alarm flags, etc.,).
Anybody have any idea if and how I would go about using the Masimo data file to feed Sleepyhead relevant oximetry data?

Re: Sleepyhead with Masimo Radical 7 Oximeter
Probably won't happen, there is no base code for the different o2 meters, sleepyhead won't see it to display. If it's an accessory of your machine make, the cpap maker's program may read it.
other wise it's clock counting. and matching tidal volumes oa and h. work on increasing you min pressure. If your o2 meter stays above 90% you probably don't have any major issues.
