Describe what you see on your first 10 clicks

I see numbers increasing which which I think represents the time it took me to click ten times from the time I opened the program. The numbers on the right are the seconds between clicks.

Your average time interval for 20 time intervals

0.154885

I took the seconds it took me to get to twenty clicks and subtracted that number from the time recorded at the first click.

179.25 - 176.1523 = 3.0977

I have to divide the total time elasped by 20 clicks to give me my interval between clicks.

20 / 3.0977 = 0.154885

Your general comment to this point

Directions are very explicit.

Why did you observe only certain time intervals?

It could coincidental that you click those buttons. There is really no absolute way to know for sure if this system is flawed.

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

These numbers shows the differnce in intervals or the speed in which I would slow down of speed up.

Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths:

1405.547

1409.715

1414.125

1417.887

1421.902

1425.855

1429.59

1433.762

1440.387

1444.93

What you have given here is clock times, not time intervals. Very easy, of course, to get the intervals from what you have given here, but be sure you understand the difference between clock time and time interval.

Your general comment to this point:

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

I am not going to take the same amount of time between each exhale/inhale.

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

D because it measures to the ten thousanths of a second.
