	hi everyone this is ny first post of this forum ;) i need some help with interpretation of wu files. i opened one of them and i saw some code. maybe somebody understand this code but i'm not yet. What it means section of <pulse>, <gaussian> and <best_spike> ? That was a result file, what your computer would upload to the project. Any <gaussian>, <pulse>, <spike>, or <triplet> section is a signal good enough to save in the science database. Links from the Glossary of terms explain what those signals are. A <best_spike> signal is the single best spike found even if it's not good enough for the database, same for other best_ signals. They give the Validator something with which to compare the results from two computers even for WUs with no good signals. Joe
