% Abstract

\begin{abstract}
  Here you describe the purpose of the lab and summarize the results (or why no results where
  obtained). A reader who wants to know the important points of your report should be able to
  just read the abstract and be satisfied. The rest of the report is for people interested in
  all the details. The abstract plays the role of the Objective and Conclusion in other report
  formats you may have used. The abstract should be no more than one paragraph.
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:introduction}

In this section give the background necessary to put this lab into its proper context. What are
the main topics that you will explore and why are they important? Give an overview of what was
done in the lab. What general technique or approach was used? Do not give specific details of
what you did, nor provide any results. Those things are given in later sections.


\section{Procedure}
\label{sec:procedure}

In this section give specific details of what steps you took in the lab. You can assume the
reader of your report is familiar with the lab handout (although it can be good to say
explicitly something like: ``We followed the instructions in the handout\ldots'').

If you followed the procedure in the handout closely and did not do anything unusual you can
possibly eliminate this section entirely. This section makes the most sense to include if the
lab handout is vague about the procedure or if you had to create your own procedure as you went
along.


\section{ADDITIONAL}
\label{sec:ADDITIONAL}

Include whatever additional sections seem appropriate here. The exact sections you should use
will depend on the lab. Possibilities include a section that describes any software you wrote, a
section that describes how you configured your test system(s), or a section that describes your
results. It may also be appropriate to include a section that describes any problems that you
had, including how (if) you were able to work around them. \emph{Do not keep the name
  ``ADDITIONAL.'' Like all upper case words in this document, that name is intended to be
  customized by you.}


\section{Conclusion}
\label{sec:conclusion}

In this section you should provide your conclusions. This section should be short, probably no
more than two or three sentences in most cases. \emph{Do not present any new results in this
  section!} Here you should also reproduce what you say at the end of your abstract (the
abstract contains objective, technique used, and conclusion all summarized in one paragraph).
