Encore Analysis

Please forgive me if this subject has been covered in the past.
How does the Encore software differentiate between OA, hypop and snore? I was unable to find a definition of terms on any of the respironics lit. that explains the differences?

My question comes from the fact that my pro2 blows at a constant 10cm. It does not adjust to try to correct apneas. What makes a hypop a snore and/or vice versa? Is it all based on airflow or, is there some form of audio tracking? As I read through my reports I interpret the data as showing hypops and snores being separate and unrelated events, where I would expect them to be grouped ie. a hypop leading to a snore or a snore leading to a hypop or oa for that matter.

Two weeks in and still not feeling better yet, but I am finding the research fascinating.
