** #$&* Your General Comment **
** #$&* Describe what you see on your first 10 clicks **
there is data that shows the time from the first click and the time intervals between every click in seconds

** #$&*Your average time interval for 20 time intervals **
.16535
i added up the first 20 time intervals and divided by 20

** #$&*Your general comment to this point **
** #$&*Why did you observe only certain time intervals? **
the time was reported so frequently because it is not useless it just gets inaccurate when it has to record such fast times like this so many times in under a second
** #$&*What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
many numbers were repeated again and the TIMER program is not capable in being accurate when there are rapid clicks withing the second
** #$&*Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths: **
2.028
4.305
6.942
4.462
6.131
3.354
4.134
6.552
4.727
7.441
** #$&*Your general comment to this point: **
** #$&*Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
we wouldn't expect the same interval because the time between breaths was 4-7 seconds and this gave a much more accurate recording time using the TIMER program
** #$&*Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
A. because the faster the time between the clicks the less accurate the TIMER program becomes
** #$&*Copy of a few lines of your spreadsheet from the TIMER program. **
i had to use the TIMER applet because every link for the TIME.exe sent me to web page not found so for now i have to use the applet
