Thanks to cflame1. I appreciate the help. Now I can read the Apn-Hyp Index and System Leak screens which is all I wanted in the first place.

It is late at night and when I saw your question, I couldn't believe it. I could have written it myself. I just got my bipap today also, and took a two hour nap with it. I had the very same experience. I breathe slow and am still taking my intake when the machine goes to the lower setting. Apparentl...
