>5. Modifying CSPM defaults</H1
><P
>By default, the number of "range bars" along the y-coordinate of each histogram
is five. When there is no activity for a particular device, CSPM provides default values
of 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, and 0.8. Once activity begins on the device, CSPM sets the
five values in equal increments from 0 to the peak data value collected in each
collection interval. Sometimes the grid lines fall directly on the range bar numbers,
making the numbers hard to read. You can either adjust the color of the grid lines,
adjust the collection interval, or try to ignore the grid lines.
</P

>You can modify the default grid, sizing, and monitoring settings for each of the views from
the <SPAN
