==Results of Preliminary Fiber Tests==
+All preliminary fiber testing was recorded [https://docs.google.com/a/uconn.edu/spreadsheets/d/1SNiHFm5fo_8yHHBrvuciXn_IRJ8aHT6QC_DbKERF3K0/edit#gid=101819727 here].

Before we could run through all bundles through QA tests, we had to calibrate and standardize the QA testing procedure. We found the following sources of error:
Before we could run through all bundles through QA tests, we had to calibrate and standardize the QA testing procedure. We found the following sources of error:
*'''Laser Intensity''' - if the laser is brighter, each fiber will result in a higher photon yield. Dr. Jones has compensated for this. We also found that the photon yields decrease as the pulser's 9V battery is drained.
