I think the data values in this range are just all very small.
Your plot is autoscaling. Hence, the data range is going from 0 to 1.
Try this:

Plot_io, data(I, 0:500), YRange=[1,100]

I'm guessing your data is all smooched down at the bottom
of the plot.

Or, try this:

Plot_io, data(I, 0:500) * 10E4

That should help.

Cheers,

David
