The machine displayed a message when I plugged it back in. I forget exactly whati it read, but something like "do not remove SD card".

I think it does that every time you unplug the machine and plug it back in, even if you don't remove the card.

Try it and see.

I looked in the clinician's menu, but didn't see "ramp" - I did see "resistance" - I'll go back and look at that.

You have to look in the Provider Mode Setup screen (not the Patient Setup screen)

You should see menu items like this ...

Ramp time 0:00 - 0:45
Ramp start 4.0 - (EPAP / CPAP pres)

Now that I look at this, it could be that what the DME told you was true! According to what I see here I think the ramp feature affects only the EPAP pressure. Since yours is already set at 4.0, there's nothing to ramp up!

Yes - you are right - I unplugged it and got the message when I plugged it back in - didn't touch the SD card

I did try it in the Provider mode setup - it doesn't give that option - like you said - it must be because the EPAP is set as low as it goes.
