From Fellows, Summer 2007

We've got a nice powerpoint on connecting all the equipment and plateauing the counters. The level is intended for beginning students or teachers and is designed to march through the procedure as time efficiently as possible, so that anyone can start to do real science asap.

There's an excel spreadsheet template associated with these directions. The powerpoint has a link to the spreadsheet, but you may have to open it by yourself if you download from here.
