what charts are important I am brand new to this

On the left side turn off the calendar by clicking on the triangle by the date.
Also the pie chart doesn't give us very much info so you can turn it off by going to File - Preferences -Appearance - Uncheck Show event break down pie chart
That allows us to see the machine details on the left.

The graphs that are usually helpful are:
1. Event Flags
2. Flow Rate
3. Pressure (not mask pressure)
4. Leak
5. Flow Limit (only with Resmed machine)
Put your graph in that order by grabbing, by the labels, with your mouse and dragging it where you want it.
Now grab the line between the graphs and resize them until you get them in one screenshot.

Take a screen shot after you organize your graphs.
F10 will close the right sidebar ( or click file - view - uncheck right side bar).
F11 ( or click file - view - check fullscreen toggle) on your keyboard before you take your screenshot and it makes it full screen with no ID info.
Take a screenshot by pushing F12 or under View - click on Screenshot
Screenshots are found on my computer under Documents - SleepyHeadData-Testing - Screenshots

Then at Imgur you have to sign up for an account then sign in. upload your pic.
Click on the triangle by your ID in the upper right corner and a menu will drop down.
Choose Images this will take you to a screen with your uploaded images on it. Click on the image you want.
Click on Large thumbnail then copy the Linked BB code into your reply. Here is an uploaded screenshot for example.

hope this helps I am curious to learn all about it

The Events Flags chart, the pressure graph (although you have it set to cpap 12, yours does not change), the data to the left where it says AHI 2.5 and the events breakdown below that.
Learn what all those terms mean.
I would raise my starting ramp pressure to 8 or 9.

[C/O_Guy]

ok so you suggest starting at a 8 or nine then the 6 it is at

Close but we do need the Daily side bar on the left turned back on. Just close the calendar and pie chart like I described at the top of my other note.

While you are organizing your charts:

How are you feeling?
How well do you think you are sleeping?
How energetic do you feel the next day? Any excess sleepiness?
Anything else significant that you noticed?

Only raise your ramp pressure if you feel that you are not getting enough air as you fall asleep or if the increase from 6 to 12 is waking you up. This pressure should be set for what is most comfortable to you, and has nothing to do with your therapy. I see you have the ramp set to auto (at least I think I am interpreting the graph correctly). This is the best ramp mode for the Airsense 10 as it will go to full pressure as soon as you fall asleep ( and sometimes sooner depending on how relaxed you get).

The ramp is for people who can't tolerate a high pressure when they first start at the beginning of the night. Many of us started out using the ramp but now don't because we have no problems tolerating the pressure.

Also a little history on your diagnosis and Cpap use. How long have you been using it? It looks like you are getting a good solid block of sleep is that how you feel?
