Your General Comment

Going slow but things are starting to get easier.

Describe what you see on your first 10 clicks

It is giving me the number of times that I've clicked in the 1st column. In the 2nd it's giving me a time since I first clicked the timer button and the 3rd column is giving me the interval between clicks.

Your general comment to this point

Interesting.

Why did you observe only certain time intervals?

I noticed all my numbers ended in a '5'. Maybe it's just set to round to the nearst number up to a 10 millionth. It doesn't mean the program is useless but one should be aware of the + and - factor when seeking accurate data.

What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals?

That it must work on some sort of rounding interval.

Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths:

7.359375

7.640625

7.40625

Your general comment to this point:

My relaxed breaths were alot shorter than yours! None of the intervals were the same.

Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice?

The longer the interval the less likely it would be to acheive the same interval at random chance.

Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ...

I would say 'b' is most likely, simply because the frequency under 1 second could be within I believe the nearest 100th but with the repetitive data past that just don't belive that it could be any more accurate past that.
