 Some automatic processing is done on loading up the samples to set up generator scaling factors, chi2 calculations and so on. These are simple string comparisons done in the base class constructors, but do '''place responsibility on the user'''.

+=== Placing the sample in a directory ===
+
+As with many packages, NUISANCE has source code in the `src` directory. We then have a directory for each experiment inside `src`, e.g. `src/T2K`, `src/MINERvA`, and so on.
+
+The applications using the `src` files go in the `app` directory. However, including a new sample does not involve changing anything there, so let's ignore it for the purpose of this tutorial.
+
+
+''''What to do:''''
+Make the new files `src/T2K/T2K_CC1pip_H2O_XSec_1Dpmu_nu.cxx` and `src/T2K/T2K_CC1pip_H2O_1Dpmu_nu.h`.
