    I was about to propose a similar idea, but this risks getting confusing with 16 curves on the same graph. Still, I can't come up with anything significantly different at the moment! ;) Commented Nov 2, 2011 at 18:07
  • Excellent suggestion for how to show when data is missing/unreliable. However, I'm not sure how well it will work for out-of-range data. It would look something like this since the limit is a y max/min and data will likely be plotted right up to when it goes out of range: i.imgur.com/OD0l3.png Commented Nov 2, 2011 at 18:23
  • I see you updated your answer with the second plot while I was entering my comment. I have the same concern as msanford about using that method, but I think I will prototype it to see how well it works. Thanks. Commented Nov 2, 2011 at 18:26
  • @Series8217 Yes, I'm cheating my edge on the second plot. I added another idea to call attention to the issues you and msanford raised. Commented Nov 2, 2011 at 18:31

    Brilliant! I really like that idea. It could easily be extended to multiple curves as well, by having the icons expand into infoboxes to indicate what exactly is going on (which channels are out of range) in that region or at that point, without clutter. Commented Nov 2, 2011 at 19:30
