Colin is right about snore.

Try this experiment. Set the AutoSet T going with your mask on and watch the pressure on the menu. Breath normally so that the pressure stabilises. Then induce artificial snoring as loud as you can. Depending on how good you are at loud snoring, the pressure will rapidly rise: you may be able to get it up to the maximum of 20 cmH2O quite quickly.

I haven't then looked at the data from the machine, but I think it will show a pressure spike with no apnea or hypopnea.
