However, this compact view will not be best for analyzing breath shapes and fine tuning therapy settings. This is especially true as soon as you start using bi-level or any variant of it, like softpap or epr etc. For this you will want a profile you can switch too quickly with a couple of critical changes to at least '''Flow Rate''' and '''Mask Pressure'''. In order to set these for best viewing, you should make sure the y-axis override is not too far off the actual flow rate and your pressure range. Make sure your oscar window is maximized or a least how you usually view it. Pick the best section of one of your best nights. Zoom in with left click until the flowrate duration is 1 minute. From here, drag the row height so that each inhalation is close to semi circle, without being too tall or too squat. Roughly match the mask pressure signal to the same height as each breath signal, so they are relative to each other.
[[File:Detailed view.png|thumb|center|1000px]]Note: Consistent viewing will be dependent on your window size and flowrate duration being the same as they are when you set this.
Without a set baseline and zoom like this, you will not get as good a sense of each day compared to one another. Breaths can appear far taller or flatter, all dependent on all these variables. If you are wanting to see subtle change in breath dynamics with a change in pressure support for eg. then this is very helpful.
