"Single Channel" analysis:

QuB

There are issues of course, but very powerful & has a great support forum.

"Single Channel" analysis:

Tracwin

Very useful, especially for event detection and fitting

Stimtor aquisition

Simple & Effective. A little outdated now. Ran well under DOS or Win 98

DC suite...

Very powerful, loads of features, but a steep learning curve. I'm still writing software to convert my data to this format, but some ways to go yet!

Statistics

 

 

 

Excel/MS Visual Basic

Flexible, if you have the time, but most test now availavle with comercial packages.

 

 

StatsDirect

Excellent for testing, I think could become a rival for Prism?

MS Visual Java

Since Microsoft don't support this anymore, it’s become a bit pointless.

Not bad for speed, fairly portable

 Now using the Beans thing...

 

Netbeans Java

Actually very good.  I was surprised for some reason, but we were able to rejuvenate most of our Java code with this.

here

Unix C++ (various!)

Great for high speed numerical simulations, but graphics tricky

 

 

MS Excel/Visual Basic

Very slow, but so easy(!!) we're using this increasingly.

 

 

Turbo C++, MS Visual C++ 6.0

Our standards; both are flexible and still produce pretty fast code.

 

 

 Bio-informatics

 

 

 

 Perl of course...

ActivePerl

 Makes those strings so much easier to plough through, but any old Perl will do.
