Hey people,
So i was just playing around with the dmt tool and on this middle graph where it shows SNR db per tone i noticed that the snr drops out at certain levels of tone as you can see from those grey lines cutting through the yellow. I just wondered is that in anyway a problem, whats causing it and can it be fixed?
thx

"Pilot tones" maybe. Although there seem to be a lot of them.
That bug in DMT which causes the graphs to spew out beyond the right frame border is still there!
I patched that in my half-baked kludge to get DMT working with VDSL2. It took some while to track down that stinker. Shame no one is developing DMT any more to patch the official release. The graphs are quite limited these days due to their fixed size. It's much worse with VDSL2 because the tone map has ~4000 bins, and the graphs all have to rescaled so they can be squashed into that fixed ~600 pixel wide graph. Doing that makes it very hard to glean much information from the plots. The graphing scripts developed by burakkucat and bald_eagle are much more useful.
cheers, a
