Need to know how to integrate o2 measurements into OSCAR

Need to know how to integrate o2 measurements into OSCAR
Hey all I need to know how to integrate O2 data into OSCAR.  Also need to know what the most accurate and compatible o2 monitor is for this purpose.  My o2 data and sleep apnea events have zero relation to each other so I suspect one of the devices is off time wise.  

I have a BIPAP ST-A I'm using.  I'd like recommendations on how to pair an o2 device with this and what device works best.

Thank you all - I had ten central apneas last night, horrible o2 saturations, and am just done wit this BS.  

Please help.  Thank you all.  

PS im getting a re titration of pressures so let's not worry about that at the moment - im just concerned with data accuracy.  As accurate as possible.

RE: Need to know how to integrate o2 measurements into OSCAR
A Nonin direct CPAP oximeter is around $1000 USD when all said and done. The good side is its data is incorporated into the Resmed's sleep data. I prefer to spend a little extra time and use a less expensive oximeter. I now prefer the Viatom/Wellue models. A little more expensive than the Contec models, but the finger sensor is made to be worn at the base of the finger, as opposed to being on the fingertip. This seems to provide more repeatable readings, and less likely to record artifacts (bad data input).

I have the Checkme 02  - but if I was buying again, I would go for the convenience of the O2 Ring (I think it is cheaper too...)
