The first data field is the elapsed time in milliseconds, the second data field is the altitude in feet,
and the third data field is the velocity in ft/sec. After you close the file, you can open it with the data
analysis program of your choice. For example, if you import it into Excel, you can graph Time vs.
Alt and Time vs. Velocity. See our web site, www.eggtimerrocketry.com , for step by step
instructions on how to do this; it’s not difficult once you get the hang of it. You can also import the
CSV data into statistical software packages, although this is beyond the scope of what we’re doing
here.
An Excel graph from this data looks something like this:
