Collect from Photogates

The photogate meter shows whether the gate is blocked or clear. The values collected when a photogate meter is attached to  an experiment are the Time of the observation, the MidTime, and the GateTime. The MidTime is the middle of the duration for which each of the photogates was blocked. It is possible to get the different times associated with a photogate by manipulating these three times.
