That was a great Mythbusters! But inquiring minds want details... the printout was? Any other NI hardware used? LabVIEW?

I guess I should have included a few details. Mythbusters is a TV program that airs in the US. In last night's episode they were testing the premise that it is safer to float prone on top of water then to be submerged or vertical in case of an explosion.
To test this they attached pressure sensors spaced on a long pole which they sunk verticaly in a body of water. They then exploded 15lbs of dynamite a various distances from the sensors. David H. was the NI consultant that collected the data from the sensors. In the end they did prove it was safer to float vertically on top of the water. David provided them with a eye catching printout of the results. I couldn't tell what the other hardware/software combination they were using.
