Newbie here....

sorry if this has been asked a million times already.

I watch the graphics screen trying to get familiar with the terminology and with understanding what the numbers mean.

I read the WOW signal article on wiki. Read other threads about interesting signals...but I am not sure what to look for if there happens to be an unusual signal detected in the WU being shown on the graphics screen. My comp runs 2 units at a time. (I think).

Thanks for any replies...

Hey Cudney, welcome to SETI@HOME!
Glad to have you with us. :)

You may find it helpful to view your results plotted out on a starmap of the observable section of the Milky Way that Aricebo is actually looking at. You can do so using BoincLogX and SETI@Home-Map view.

You can get both of them here.

go into your account and go to seti@home preferences... set graphics to custom.. update prefs... go back into the seti@home preferences and make horizontal and vertical oscillation range to zero.
