My sleep specialist didn't know that my machine could be set so the minimum and maximum pressures are the same in A-Flex mode. She said the DME told her that there had to be at least a difference of two.
I came close to saying, "If it's midnight and a DME tells you it's dark outside..."

Not-tired behind my eyes and with a clear, cool head!

Consider yourself lucky your DME knows that the APAP can be set to something other than 4-20.
