Nox integration
Configure default values for Nox HST devices and assign them to patients.
Ensure the SDI is installed on all scorer workstations.
Note
Typically, the Resmed support team does this configuration.
Right-click the SDI system tray icon and select Settings.
From the Scorer tab, click Add sleepware.
From the Sleepware Type list, select Noxturnal.

The Recording Type is a saved setup that tells Nox devices what signals to record and how to score and report the sleep study. In Noxturnal, you can configure the Recording Type to match the needs of each study, like checking for sleep apnea or doing a full sleep test. Somnoware supports Recording Type selection for Nox A1s and T3 devices only.
In Somnoware, you can select the Recording Type at the facility level or when checking out a device.
