The data is identical. As you know the machine does not change pressure in response to flow limitations, snores and other events. Nothing wrong with the Elite as a fixed CPAP.

I think the AutoSet may detect RERA, but other than that, the data on the Elite is very nearly equal to the AutoSet except for the auto pressure adjust data.
Get the free OSCAR CPAP software here.

If it's midnight and a DME tells you it's dark outside, go and check it yourself.
