I'll try that tonight, blarg.

I had mentioned I took a 2 hour nap yesterday. I then download the info for that nap. I also saved that graph. Saving it may have been a mistake. This morning, after being up some 2 hours or so, probably closer to 3, I went in and downloaded last night's info. HA! At least that was my intent. The only info that downloaded was the same info from the 2 hour nap. Yet since it is before noon I was able to get my Efficacy and Usage data via the LED screen. Go figure that one!!!

I'm gonna try downloading again shortly before noon, like maybe 11:00 or 11:30. Just outta curiosity.

My results are about the same as yours, but my pressure is 13 and I"m not using the EPR feature at all. My ramp is for 5 mins. I will be watching to see if any of your changes make a difference. I want to know if what Blarg says is possible to do on the Elite...........like changing the pressure of the ramp and still keep my five min. That's why I have such a short ramp, as at full pressure that's the time for any adjustments.
I found out that insurance will pay for my Elite before my next apt with the MD, so I have an apt. with the RT before then to try and get a Vantage also. I don't want to get down the road and own this.......and then need something with more features.
Keep up the good 'expeiments'!

Will do, Nana. By the way, I doubt your RT can do much towards getting you an Auto ('cause of cost to DME supplier vs straight CPAPs) w/o your doctor writing a script for the specific machine you want. There are only 2 codes for xPAPs: one for CPAPs and one for Bi-PAPS/Bi-Levels. The Autos thus have to be sold under the CPAP code yet they are considerably more expensive than just a straight CPAP w/or w/o EPR or C-Flex.
