Igor Pro

Advanced data analysis for scientists and engineers

Kommentare: All the data visualization in my master's thesis was done by Igor pro. All the plots and graphs were done using this software. It was difficult at the beginning but I got faster with it day by day.

Vorteile:

- The whole array of functions available there are quite useful - The user community is strong and supportive - Data visualization tools are great - Using programming to do certain manipulation on data makes the workflow faster -Fast

Nachteile:

- Steep learning curve. It takes time to get used to it. - The program still has features that are not as great as it should be compared to the overall maturity of the software.

Igor pro, un des piliers de ma réussite de chercheur

Kommentare: Une impression de puissance quand c'est bien programmé. De belles courbes qui se construisent en temps réel.

Vorteile:

l'interface est d'une convivialité incroyable avec les commandes de base accessible en menus déroulant. Avec l'historique des commandes mémorisée. Avec une grande facilité pour écrire des macro à partir de l'historique d'un calcul fait pas à pas. Avec un descriptifs des commandes très détaillé qui m'a permis d'apprendre beaucoup de mathématique appliquée jusqu'à l'IA.

Nachteile:

Comment trouver une commande si on ne devine pas son nom ?

A black box software for fitting traces to various functions

Vorteile:

It was very straightforward to use, very competent for chemical kinetics data fitting.

Nachteile:

Very expensive! Not extremely versatile and customization.

It has strong data analysis abilities

Kommentare: The data analysis software program Igor Pro is effective and comes with a lot of capabilities.

Vorteile:

Igor Pro is a robust software program that combines data analysis and visualization with a number of capabilities. Igor Pro is capable of reading and writing a variety of data formats.

Nachteile:

When using huge datasets, Igor Pro can be sluggish on older PCs.Compared to some other data analysis programs, Igor Pro does not integrate with other programs as well.

Flexible, programmable data analysis with Igor Pro

Kommentare: I have used Igor (and Igor Pro) for over 20 years. I used it to control data acquisition and analysis for laboratory instrumentation, spectral series analysis and most recently to control and acquire data from semiconductor wafer probing.

Vorteile:

The extensive programming capability of Igor Pro means that data can be explored by hand or a complete analysis work flow can be programmed. The programming language is "C" like and very fast. Many data analysis routines/techniques are included and publication quality graphics are easy to create. GPIB interface integration allows programming of data acquisition all the way to data analysis. Dynamic interaction with graphs and maps make Igor a powerful tool for data mining.

Nachteile:

I would like to see easier integration of Igor Pro with SQL databases.
