Detailed Description

Passes a signal to initiate data collection, and then plots the recieved data.

The Front End allows the user to pass a "go" command to the Back End. The Back End receives this code and begins a data collection process. This data is then sent back to the Front End, which reads the data, clears away irrelevant characters, and prepares the data to be exported as a CSV. The data is also plotted.
