The good folks at Wavemetrics provide excellent technical support for
Igor. It is not an easy application to learn, but it is incredibly
powerful. I generally use MacLab Chart software with several
extensions and occassionally I use AxoGraph which is very good too.
I suspect I will be using Igor more in the future and it helps that
ports between applications are fairly straight forward.
