52 y/o male with moderate SA of 25 AHI. Started CPAP about 8 weeks ago. Need advice on what adjustments to make. I still wake up multiple times. It's improving but not there yet.

Your results are very good. Here are some suggestions for improvements, mainly for comfort.
- Increase your minimum pressure to 7 cm to keep it more constant during the night, and for comfort
- Set your Ramp Time to Auto with a ramp start pressure of 7 cm. This will hold pressure at 7 cm until you fall asleep
With pressure at 7 cm and EPR at 3 cm, you will get 7 cm on inhale to make inhale easier, and EPR will reduce it to 4 cm on exhale. The machine will not go below 4 cm.
