Historical channel distribution allows you to turn distribution lines on or off on historical graphs. These distributions represent the 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles or Average (50%) for selected frequencies on a graph.

Select Display > Scale Y-Axis if distribution lines are not visible. The computation of distribution data may occur after cable modem data or fiber node data is collected. This can cause the distribution graph to be slightly offset from the cable modem graph.
NOTE: Each distribution is performed on a per channel basis, and only the data relevant to the selected frequency is displayed.

Historical channel distribution graphs can be created using the following parameters:
