-FOMMX follows the principles and terminology of Miller(1933) as much as possible.
+The Fiber-Optic Michelson-Morley Experiment, FOMMX, data collection follows the principles and terminology of Miller (1933).
-In particular, the words sheet, column, and row follow Miller's usage.
-Miller used a data collection spreadsheet preprinted with rows and columns(p213).
+Miller used a data-collection spreadsheet preprinted with rows and columns (p213).
-When a sound signal occurred, Miller estimated the fringe shift and called it out.
+When a signal occurred, Miller estimated the interferometric fringe shift and called it out.
 An assistant recorded that number on the spreadsheet.
 As the interferometer turned through one revolution, the numbers were entered in one row.
-The sound signal occurred sixteen times per revolution, and the data for each was recorded in the corresponding column.
+The sound signal occurred sixteen times per revolution, and the data for each occurrence was recorded in the corresponding column.
-The following list describes the data structure and timing used in FOMMX, with the corresponding value for Miller.

     * Data Collection File: 1 Day.

+    * Sheet: 30 minutes, 48 per Day
-    * Row, Turn: 1 minute, 360˚. (A turn is one full cycle of rotation of interferometer arms.)
+      * (A sheet is analogous to Miller's sample data collection sheet.)
-    * Column: 2 seconds, 12˚.
+    * Row, Turn: 1 minute, 360˚ per Turn. There are 30 Rows and Turns per Column and Sheet.
-    * Reading: 0.23 seconds, 4.35 per second.  (Program reads a set of values from electronics and stores them.)

+    * Cell: A single number. There are 30 cells per row and 30 cells per Column.

-  * 2 sheets/points per hour (point on 4-epoch **plot**) 4 too many

-  * 30 columns per sheet row/turn/minute (18 too small for **fit**, esp for Half) greater importance
-    * 2 seconds per column

-  * 14.5 Readings per column. (Muller 1)
