Your image is not showing. Did you delete it from imgur?

What we need to see on the graphs mostly are: events, flow rate, leak, pressure graphs
You can click on and grab to move and reposition them.
Also on the left the pie chart gives very little useful info, so go to the upper left corner and click file, preferences, appearances then uncheck show event breakdown pie chart. This allows us to see more that is below it.
How long have you been at this pressure and is the a typical AHI or was there a change?

I`ve been at this pressure for a couple of months

Has your AHI been this for some time? It's hard to tell if after the awake time if that cluster of OA's were while you were still awake. If so we can probably ignore them but your other Hypopneas and Obstructives could probably use a slight increase in pressure, if this AHI is common. Or another way to address them would be to decrease your EPR from 2 to 1 and see if that makes a difference in AHI. It's good to only make one change and then evaluate it for a few days.
You followed the graph instructions but on the mask pressure it doesn't tell us any more than the pressure. So next time move mask pressure down and put the flow limitations one on screen.
Did you have specific questions or concerns? How are you sleeping/feeling?
This Sleepyhead guide is for an older version but may answer some questions.
