How is your dataset different from the one I am playing with?
*******
clear*
set obs 1000
set seed 10234
gen x=(_n-1)*6000
format x %tc_HH:MM:SS
gen mean_amp =rnormal()
gen meanp =rnormal()
gen byte c7=(runiform()<.2)+1
compress
tw (line mean_amp x if c7==1) /*
*/ (line mean_amp x if c7==2) /*
*/ (line meanp x if c7==1) /*
*/ (line meanp x if c7==2)
