1. Worked on MATLAB data analysis program.

---------------------------------------------------------------

1. Refined the function that allows users to plot more than one parameter vs time on a graph. It is now color coded and has a legend showing which parameter holds each color. Also worked on the function that allows the user to open a new data file, which wasn't working on earlier versions. I'm still working on that problem since it no longer shows an error, but it doesn't load the desired data file.
