=== Helpful Starting Tips ===

For the purposes of this experiment, histograms, graphs, fitting functions, and file I/O are going to be key for the data analysis. Below are some helpful hints on how to design such a program:

'''1. Have a Plan'''

Creating a program needs some preparation. Thinking about the end result and what you intend to produce will help greatly in designing an efficient macro. For instance, planning out possible variables, methods for parsing the data, and displaying the data can really help guide one through the creation process. 

'''2. Scope'''

Along with the planning, ideas around how much data you are handling will help in deciding how to create a certain function. For example, say one experiment required five histograms to be created along with a single plot of average time versus cable length. This would be easy to simply have 5 separate Canvases with 5 different histograms and then a second Canvas to display the average time plot. But if there were 50 histograms that were going to be analyzed, a different approach would be needed for the creation of the histograms and how they are going to be displayed.

'''3. Attempt''' 

Usually, a first attempt is never perfect, so do not be afraid to try something. Trial and error is going to be the best form of practice in discovering the best way to conduct the data analysis.
