When you are reading it in measurement is a string. The indicies of the string
are going to be returned in your print statements.
Similar to having done this in the interpreter:
In [17]: measurement =
'+3.874693E01,+9.999889E03,+9.91E+37,+1.876595E+04,+3.994000E+04'
In [18]: measurement[1]

I have some data which is presented in the following format to me:
+3.874693E-01,+9.999889E-03,+9.91E+37,+1.876595E+04,+3.994000E+04
I'm only interested in the first two fields i.e.
+3.874693E-01,+9.999889E-03
If I start python interactively I can separate the fields as follows:
>measurement=+3
