 It is important to understand how measurements were collected and organized to be able to interpret them. The [wiki:OML ORBIT Measurement Framework] provides tools to insert points to tap available information and to effectively collect that information in a timely manner. And after the experiment is done, the user would get access to the exprimenet database generated. In general, the results of the experiment is in one [http://www.mysql.com MySQL] database. Different participating nodes populate different tables of this database. Usually, user would like to post-process or visualize those raw measurements for further analysis.
 
-A number of different tools are available to interpret experimental results.  The choice of tools depends upon availability and the nature of the measurements. '''Excel and Matlab connections from your local laptop to our database server may be blocked by the firewall. Hence, until we are working on figuring out a proxy service to expose these databases based on user credentials, please use any of the following approaches.'''
