Configuration file for experiments. Explanation of Python file elements: “id” identifies the data uniquely. “pre” are actions run once before the experiment starts. “repeats” is how many times the experiment runs. “protocol” contains the sequential steps that are performed for the experiment. “post” contains actions that are performed once after the experiment finishes. The notation (20, AEROSOL, “during”) specifies that aerosol should be generated for 20 min. “during” is a comment that is added to the CSV data file. Similarly, CLEAN turns the air purifier on, and PAUSE does nothing except continue to collect data. Measurements are made every 6 s automatically and don’t have to be configured.
