- Make sure that you have MDSplus installed. If not take it at http://www.mdsplus.org
- Make sure that you have MDSplus python module. For example try import MDSplus in python shell.
  If not, you can search in http://www.mdsplus.org/dist/ the .egg module file and use easy_install
  to implement it in your python enviroment.
- Finally, these classes and scripts use several standart python libraries for science like scipy,
  numpy, matplotlib, etc. for best performance. If you dont have them, install before proceed.

- Main module is signal_analyse.py which has the SF_analysis class. I strongly recommend that the
  user type help in python enviroment after import at least once time. To beginners see below:
  >>> import signal_analyse
  >>> help(signal_analyse).

- For further improvements on time demanded for run Curve Fit over Group Delay Data, developers
  can take a tour on Cython package to introduce some static data types based on C language.
  
- A deep investigation can be done in scipy.integrete methods, and in numpy array access order.

- Some manipulations are made in order to write or access files in a folder. Maybe such accesses
  result in bugs in other Operational Systems different from Unix or even others Linux distors.
  All was developed to work in Debian distros.
