manuel,
if you use the std dev channels tool , which is the one with a "D" on it on
the toolbar, then go to properties, right click, then you can set units to
the number of std devs out you want the channel plotted. Jim suggests
picking the smallest (fibonacci type) number that envelopes the data,
starting at 2 and working towards 1
