This windows software is designed to interface with a [[Pulse Oximeter]] to help with [[Intermittent Hypoxic Exposure]], a type of [[Altitude Training]]. The software will provide timers for when to start and stop the hypoxia, as well as recording the blood oxygen saturation (SpO<sub>2</sub>) and heart rate [[Heart Rate]] from the [[Pulse Oximeter]].
=Using the hypoxic timer=
# Install software that comes with the CMS-60C or the CMS-50E [[Pulse Oximeter]]. Verify that the software works and can interface with the [[Pulse Oximeter]] correctly.
# Start the hypoxic timer software.
# Click on the options button to set your preferences. The software will remember your preferences, so you only need to do this once. The preferences that affect the overall length of time will not update the graphs on the main page [[Main Page]] until the next restart.# Make sure the [[Pulse Oximeter]] is connected to the computer and is reading your heart rate [[Heart Rate]] and [[SpO2|SpO<sub>2</sub>]] correctly.# Click the button marked "use pulse oximeter[[Pulse Oximeter]]". You should see your heart rate [[Heart Rate]] and [[SpO2|SpO<sub>2</sub>]] displayed on the main page[[Main Page]].
# Click the start button. The software will remind you when it is time to start and stop the hypoxia.

This software is freely available, but my ability to support it is somewhat limited if you have issues interfacing to your [[Pulse Oximeter]]. If you have any issues with the software please contact [[Contact me ]] and I will do my best to help you out.
