This project needs a basic user-interface that can do a few things:

• Convert the data from a raw count into calibrated units
• Hit a button to begin recording data
• Hit a button to stop recording data
• Display the data in real time as it is collected
• Save the data as a csv file with some comments about the sample

For the UI I am using Tk with Python because I have a little bit of experience with it from when I was reading out images from my scanning electron microscope. I picked it in that case because it is sort of the default Python toolkit.

As of right now the UI is in the working prototype stage. It does all the stuff I need it to but it could use some more flexibility in the 'save as' command or selecting different calibration values.
