<p><span data-mce-style="font-size: xx-small;" style="font-size: xx-small;">I have a Contec CMS50F oxymeter, which theoretically
records my wife's "pulse ox" and heart rate. I have been trying
for a couple days to connect it to my laptop with Linux Mint
17.1 and/or Ubuntu 16.04.</span></p>
<p><span data-mce-style="font-size: xx-small;" style="font-size: xx-small;">I tried following the instructions at <br>

<p><span data-mce-style="font-size: xx-small;" style="font-size: xx-small;">to access the data. So far, no go.</span></p>
<p><span data-mce-style="font-size: xx-small;" style="font-size: xx-small;">I have installed Windows programs SpO2 and
SleepyHead, which can be opened by Wine. Neither of them can
find the CMS50f.</span></p>
<p><span data-mce-style="font-size: xx-small;" style="font-size: xx-small;">Has anyone successfully connected a CMS50f to
Linux Mint or Ubuntu?</span></p>
<p>Thanks.<br>
