Data Analysis Program

Input

• The program receives input from the labview program

• The data is in decimal format in a .txt file

• Each set of two rows is an event

• The first row represents the tube number

• The second row holds the time that the signal was received from the tube.

• 0 0 0 4 0 6 7 0 9 0 • 0 0 0 3 0 8 9 0 11 0

• 1 0 3 0 5 0 0 9 0 0• 16 0 3 0 8 0 0 10 0

• 0 2 3 0 6 0 9 0 0 0• 0 8 7 0 2 0 10 0 0 0

Output

• Our goal is to output/display graphs of the muon’s track through the chambers.

• The program will display these on the console and output them to a storage folder
