 ====== Extracting channels from ROOT files ======
-Overview: This script ({{:itk:testanalysis.py|}}) allows the user to print a list of problematic channels after running a test. The user inputs the ROOT file from the test, the specific histogram they would like to analyze, and must input the maximum number of hits possible in the channels.
+Overview: This script ({{:itk:channelextraction.py|}}) allows the user to print a list of problematic channels after running a test. The user inputs the ROOT file from the test, the specific histogram they would like to analyze, and must input the maximum number of hits possible in the channels.
 Instructions:
-  * Download the package using the command ''wget https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/wikidoc/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=itk:testanalysis.py -O TestAnalysis.py''
+  * Download the package using the command
+<code bash>
+wget https://atlaswww.hep.anl.gov/asc/wikidoc/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=itk:channelextraction.py -O ChannelExtraction.py
+</code>
   * Once you have the package, make sure that you have already installed ROOT or can open the ROOT file from your test.
-  * Open the script ''vim (or emacs/whatever text editor you use) TestAnalysis.py''.
+  * Open the script ''vim (or emacs/whatever text editor you use) ChannelExtraction.py''.
   * Input your ROOT file that contains the histogram from the test, the name of the histogram, and the maximum number of hits possible in all of the channels.
   * Save script.
-  * Run script using ''python TestAnalysis.py''
+  * Run script using ''python ChannelExtraction.py''
   * The information will be printed to the command line.
