-It is important to understand how measurements were collected and organized to be able to interpret them. The [wiki:Documentation/OML ORBIT Measurement Framework] provides tools to insert points to tap available information and to effectively collect that information in a timely manner. The [wiki:Tutorial/CollectingMeasurements previous part] of this tutorial presented information about defining and setting up this information collection points.

-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.
+After the experiment completion, the user have access to the generated experiment database. In general, the results of a given experiment are stored in a single database (users can use more than one databases if required). Different participating nodes populate different tables of this generated 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 is blocked by the firewall.  We are working on a system to safely and securely export databases to experimenters.  Until then, please use any of the following approaches to retreive your data.
