headers and the first row of data. It waits a bit, then it
will print another row, and so on.
- The amount of time between each row is given by the slider.
+ The amount of time between each row is determined by the slider.
If put to full left, the sketch will wait 10 seconds; at
full right position, it will wait 5 minutes. An intermediate
position will make the sketch wait for some time in-between.
