Product Description:

IGOR Pro is an interactive environment for experimentation with scientific and engineering data and for the production of publication-quality graphs and page layouts. IGOR Pro produces publication-quality graphics: IGOR prints at the full resolution of the printer and exports high-resolution graphics formats such as Encapulated PostScript (EPS). IGOR Pro can display multiple data sets of any length in any number of graphs and tables. IGOR is very fast and excels at handling large data sets (more than 100,000 points, for example). String data and numeric data in 8 internal formats and up to four dimensions are supported.

IGOR Pro ships with a universal updater program, Update Igor To Latest Version, that is included in your IGOR Pro folder as part of the default installation (you may need to run this updater from your IGOR Pro CD if you chose not to install it on your hard disk). When you run Update Igor To Latest Version, the updater will download any changed files from WaveMetrics.

philonous

In the interest of full disclosure, I know who davidtalaga is, and I have worked with Wavemetrics in the past. I have no affiliation with them now.

That said, yes, Igor Pro is a marvelous piece of software. It is well conceived, well implemented and well supported. There is a 99.999% that you will never be limited by Igor capabilities whether you are a statistician, an optical engineer, a doctor, or any kind of scientist.

It is absolutely certain that you will not get better documentation and product support from anyone. Equally as certainly, you will not find a better price on any similar package. The R-foundation's R software is free of course, and it offers good documentation, but the learning curve is STEEP.

Igor Pro's learning curve is steep, too. So, be forewarned. However, if you do learn to use Igor, you will never need another software to analyze your data or to present your data. Igor does everything from data acquisition, processing of every sort (fitting, image analysis, curve fitting, etc., etc., etc.,) to making spectacularly beautiful graphics that are press ready.
