Comparable: R

GraphPad Prism combines scientific graphing, comprehensive curve fitting (nonlinear regression), understandable statistics, and data organization. The software was originally designed for experimental biologists in medical schools and drug companies, but is now used by all kinds of biologists, social, and physical scientists to analyze, graph and present their graphical data.

Prism can create highly-customizable graphs that can be exported as high-resolution image files for publications, PowerPoint presentations, Web sites, Word documents, and more.

Availability: Download
Comparable: Pasco DataStudio

PASCO Capstone is the next leap forward in software for data acquisition, display and analysis and destined to be the new standard in physics and engineering labs.  It takes that mantle from DataStudio which it supersedes.

Not an upgrade on existing software, PASCO Capstone was built from the ground up to be the most powerful and flexible option available.

While it was designed in conjunction with the new 850 Universal Interface, Capstone is completely compatible with all PASCO USB Interfaces – the 850, Xplorer GLX, SPARKlink, SPARK, USB link and even older interfaces such as the Science Workshop 750 or 500.
