APAP IS auto and can record your apnea, air leaks and a host of other things
cpap is Continuoius Air Pressure and not much use in recording except for complience

try for a auto pap or apap as they are called and be determind and gently persusausve in your demanding and this will save a lot of grief latter on and save you money in the long run

try and get the presribing physion to include the clinians guide as well
