What does 99.5% column under statistics mean?  I though I understood but have doubts about 95% and 99.5%
Thanks

RE: Statistics Column
They represent percentiles. The 95%tile's value means that for 95% of the night, that parameter was at or below that value. The 99.5%tile is used, so a momentary spike (artifact) won't be included. Since you are asking about those two percentiles, the term "Mean" is a synonym for 50%tile.
