how do you access the data on cms-50f oximeter

used it last night on my finger with additional tape for support - I went to the menu on the "watch" and set "record" to "on" - I loaded the program on the laptop PC i bought just for this and reading the cpap machine files - I then connected the USB cable to the computer's usb slot and the power adapter slot on the watch. I then went to " upload" on the watch and switched it to on . The screen went dark and said " uploading" . There are a green and red heart icon for the oximetry icon - but neither of them seem to contain or display the data

Did you push that button and hit new?

that screen comes up when I click on the green icon -

next to the magnifying glass you highlighted it says " not active", when i doubt click it - two boxes open

one box would allow me to put my name, weight and height in it again

the other box says in the top box << Program Files (x86) > SpO2 > Data > "

and in the folder are 4 folders with little locks to the left labeled:


Name Date modified Type


New folder 1/18/2013 7:23 File folder
_201301181829.spo 1/18/2013 6:29 SPO file

You would have never gotten that far unless it connected to your pc ok. Did you hit yes to record again after you had stopped recording? It only saves 1 session and overwrites the previous recording.

Guess I'm missing something - isn't that your data on the screen shot?

Cosmo - i've only used it the one night - i'm trying to figure out what happed - still no luck

No that's a sample of Cosmo's data

Can you at least see this with the red icon? It is real time data.

Next press on your Start button > Control Panel > View by: Small icons > Device Manager > Ports

You will see this Silicon Labs entry when you connect the oximeter and it is powered on.



If you have a yellow flag next to the "Silicon Labs ......." you have a driver or connection problem. Your COM number will be different and it does not matter.

The red heart icon says SpO2 and is for real-time monitoring using the CMS device. You should be able to hook the device up and use this program to see the output from the device in real time on your computer, as Cosmo said.

The green heart icon says SpO2 Review and is what you would use to upload data from the device to your PC. As I recall, you get to a point where the PC says it is waiting for data. That's when you go through the menu on the CMS device and start the upload.

Posting screen captures would be good if you can do that.

Seth - I can get the real time "red" heart to work but not the green download

Are you hitting "Record > Off" on the watch after you wake up in the morning?

If you can see the live data, software and drivers are working properly.



Do you see this when you're uploading?

Still not working?

Hi John, This is from an old post I did last April. Try the following procedure exactly as laid out. I have had consistent very good results with it after having spent some time tweaking the instructions. Hope it helps.

Inserting CMS-50 Pulse-Oximetry Graphs into SleepyHead

by Papit on Mon Apr 23, 2012 5:05 pm

Here's the operating procedure I use. I hope it helps new and regular CMS-50E/F Pulse-Oximeter users experience consistent ease of use and convenient access to their pulse-ox graphs both in the provided SpO2 Review software and in SleepyHead.

(Note: If you continue to have difficulty after using this procedure, go to 'Manuals/Downloads' at http://www.pulseoxstore.com/Manuals-Downloads.html to download and reinstall the latest software .)

CMS-50E/F Pulse Oximeter operating procedure
A. Record your Pulse-Ox data over night
1. Turn ON your Pulse-Oximeter after masking up at night.
2. Turn Record to ON.
3. Insert a finger into the sensor and sleep with it all night.
4. Turn Record OFF when you awaken in the morning.

B. 'Import’ your Xpap data to Sleepyhead
1. If you use SleepyHead software, remove the SD memory card from your xpap machine and insert it into the SD card reader on your computer.
2. Open SleepyHead and click ‘Import’ to upload the sleep session data from your SD card.
3. Click ‘My Computer’ on your desktop screen, right click on the drive containing the SD card, click ‘Eject’ and remove the card.
4. Return the SD card to your xpap machine and reinstall it.


C. Upload and view your Pulse-Ox data
1. Use the provided USB cable to connect the Pulse-Oximeter to your computer.
2. Open SpO2 Review software.
3. Click ‘Not Active’ button to open a New Session.
(Click ‘Cancel’ and repeat this Step if ‘New Session’ button on top line is not shown selected.)
4. Enter a file name (e.g., today’s date) and click OK. A message, "Device Connected: waiting for data…," should be displayed.
(If you see a message, "Can’t open COM 6", click OK, disconnect the USB cable from the Pulse-Ox, then reconnect it and go back to Step 3.)
5. If Record is ON, turn Record OFF on the Pulse-Ox.
6. Turn Upload ON on the Pulse-Ox.
7. Wait (up to a minute) while ‘Receiving data, Please wait….’is displayed.
8. View the Pulse-Ox graphs. Click ‘M’ on bottom line and set the Time scale by changing 'HH: 1’ to the number of whole hours you slept last night rounded up by one. Click OK.

D. View the Pulse-Ox Reports and Graphs in the SpO2 Review CMS-50 software
9. Click the Print Settings button in the lower far right, select a report (e.g.,'OxiMetry Report'), and click ‘Preview’. Print it for your file and/or for your doctor, or just view it. For easier viewing change ‘ % ‘ to 100% or higher (right-most button at top of screen).
10. Press and hold Power off to turn OFF the Pulse-Ox (“Bye Bye!”).
11. Recharge Pulse-Oximeter.

D. View the Pulse Oximetry Reports and Graphs Time-aligned in SleepyHead software
1. Open SleepyHead and click the 'Oximetry' tab at the top. Click the ‘Open .spo/R File’ button in the lower right. Select the sleep file you want to view and click ‘Open’. You should see your red pulse and blue oximetry charts vs. clock time.
2. Click the Save button just left of ‘Open .spo/R File’ button and confirm ‘Yes’ that you want to save the data. (Disregard the ‘No Oximetry Data’ screen.)
3. Click ‘Data’ on the top main menu line, then click ‘Rebuild Oximetry Indices’.
4. Exit out, then restart SleepyHead and click the 'Daily' tab to view the graphs, now including pulse and oximetry, all aligned to the same time scale.
5. Click the 'Daily' button in the SleepyHead Navigation bar on the right. The dates that appear in red on the calendar will display time aligned pulse-oximetry data and graphs. Click on a red date to see the pulse-ox charts for your sleep on that date along with the standard SleepyHead graphs.

(All the steps above need to have previously been performed to see a date's pulse-ox graphs and data in SleepyHead. If the clock time setting on the Pulse-Ox and on your xpap machine do not match closely enough, you will see a notice that the pulse-ox data cannot be linked with SleepyHead. Re-sychronize the current time on the Pulse-Ox so its time setting and that on the xpap machine are the same or very close. Note that fractured sleep sessions are listed in the lower left and each can be toggled ON and OFF.)

I just got a CMS-50F and I am trying to upload data on my MAC (OSX 10.7.5) and the device doesn't even show up when I plug it into the USB port. Do I have to get a PC? Isn't there a MAC version? Can I use my iPad? iPhone?
Thanks Newbie
