Spo2 Assistant / Smart device Assistant on Linux

[J Francois]

Dear all

I tried to import directly the data from my oxymeter Contec CMS50I directly through the import wizard of Oscar.
In an other thread, I got the information that it is not possible at the moment.

So I would like to import the data in two steps, first transfering the data from the oxymeter to my pc, then importing them in Oscar.
I did this from a Windows PC then transfert the files to my Linux PC (Ubunt to be precise).
It works. (eg. I can transfert the data, the oxymeter is ok, the cable is ok...)

Anyway, I would rather do this directly under linux without using windows.
(Note: I don't have acces anymore to the windows pc I used to do so).

So I run SpO2 Assistant through wine.


$ wine64 SpO2_Assistant_V3.0.3_Setup.exe

The installer start,  I can 'install" then run the Spo2 Assistant.

I try the menu
File -> Connect the device


Spo2 assiatnt crash, And tell me this:

My question is:
Is wine the right solution to run SpO2 Assistant ?
Shall I use wine32, wine, Wine 64..?
Shall I use something else than Wine?

Shall I install a driver?
(I have not done any driver installation "in wine").

I also tried Smart Device assistant, and same problem, crash when trying to connect the oxymeter.

Let understand this.  You are (were) using SpO2 Assistant and not the newer Smart Device Assistant software?  If so, I would think you have the older firmware on your 50I.  Either way, Wine is a basic Windows interpreter and I haven't been successful in it connecting with any external devices (USB).   The only thing I can think of is to create a virtual Windows system on your Linux box.  The most common virtual server is VirtualBox.  You would create a Windows computer within your Linux system.  The trickiest part of all this is getting your USB to pass through to the virtual machine.  In the past, I was able to download a Windows 10 installer package from Microsoft.  It has been working since.   There is a free and open source implementation of Windows 7 currently in the workings called ReactOS (ReactOS.org).  I have not tried it so other than making you aware that it exists, I know nothing about it.

There is a free and open source implementation of Windows 7 currently in the workings called ReactOS (ReactOS.org).  I have not tried it so other than making you aware that it exists, I know nothing about it.

Just tried running the LIVE version on a HP ProBook 4730s. There are several versions on the CD but only the Screen version worked a bit for me.
I got USB errors and choose to Ignore. After boot was completed a Windows-like screen appeared. As expected USB didn't worked.  Also shutdown from the menu doesn't work. As it is a 32bit OS, I won't be changing the OS on this old laptop (Win7 64bit SP1). I have not tried to install ReactOS nor dit I try to install it in a VirtualBox on my Ubuntu machine.
