In reading my manual I noticed that I should have a ramp choice on my "home" screen. I don't, only humidity choices. How do I turn ramp on? I could use it with my settings.
Thanks

Another S9 ASV question (restoring ramp)
Re: Another S9 ASV question (restoring ramp)
Found my own answer. In ASV mode ramp is disabled.

Yup. Since the ASV unit utilizes higher pressure to help ventilate you when you have a central apnea, the machine can not have ramp enabled in ASV mode. They are mutually exclusive features.

Re: Another S9 ASV question (restoring ramp)
Even on machines and in modes that allow Ramp, I do not think it is a worthwhile feature. Without ramp, the person notices immediately if the mask needs readjustment to prevent leaks; with Ramp, the person may be alseep before the machine ramps up to the operating pressure and the leaks begin...
