What is Gausian Power, triplets, pulse power and what the score represent. What abnormalities do I look out for if I pick up a signal? David

Even if you studied all that you mention to seek, the problem is each computer is only given a small sliver or fraction of the total data like an incomplete puzzle. You wouldn't be able to make sense or "look out" for anything because you don't have the whole picture.

Only the SETI servers that collect the data and have the whole puzzle know what to look for. They have all the pieces that fit properly, we simply help analyze the pieces to tell the server what shape they are, but we don't know where they fit in.

But in the mean time, start reading this. While you keep an eye on the glossary of terms.
