Four methods for accessing Madrigal data

To look at the data from a particular Madrigal experiment from any Madrigal site, choose Full Data Access, then Browse for Individual Madrigal Experiments .
To get data in ascii format from a group of Madrigal experiments from the local Madrigal site all at once, choose Full Data Access, then Global Madrigal Search .
