Igor Pro is an extraordinarily powerful and extensible
graphing, data analysis, image processing and programming tool for scientists
and engineers.
Igor Pro is an interactive software environment for
experimentation with scientific and engineering data and for the production
of publication-quality graphs and page layouts. Igor has been used by tens of
thousands of technical professionals since its introduction in 1989. Here are
a few highlights of the newly released Igor Pro 9.
Produces and exports high-resolution, journal quality scientific
graphs in EPS and PDF
Handles large data sets very quickly
Includes a wide range of capabilities for scientific and
engineering analysis and simulation
Contains a built-in programming environment that makes it easy to
automate applications and extend internal tools
Completely programmable via a built-in programming environment and
can be extended by external code (XOPs) written in C
Igor Pro has special support for time-series or other evenly-spaced
data
Includes extensive image processing tools for image filtering,
manipulation and graphing
Runs on Macintosh and Windows computers; Igor Pro 8 data files are
cross-platform compatible
Imports data in many formats and can acquire data from hardware
devices
Uses unicode to support foreign languages and mathematical symbols
Active user-to-user support and collaboration forum
Responsive, user-acclaimed technical support
Includes Igor Filter Design Laboratory for interactive design of
FIR and IIR digital filters
Igor Pro is an excellent tool for:
Graphics Creation - Igor Pro is first and foremost a
publication quality scientific and engineering graphics program, capable
of creating visually stunning 3D graphics as well as 2D graphs
Data Access - Scientists and engineers encounter many data
formats. Igor Pro provides a variety of import, storage and xport
capabilities that can handle almost any requirement.
Data Storage - Unlike spreadsheet programs, Igor Pro's
data objects won't clutter up your screen. Efficiently organize your
data into a hierarchy, just like you would organize files in a hierarchy
of folders on your hard drive!
Data Manipulation & Math - Igor Pro provides an
extensive library of math and data manipulation routines and Igor's
array-oriented arithmetic make complex operations a snap.
Image Processing - Igor Pro contains a full set of
operations and functions for scientific image analysis applications.
Data Analysis - Igor provides many analysis
capabilities, including curve fitting, peak analysis, signal processing
and statistics.
Analysis of Function - Igor includes
several operations that work on functions rather than discrete data
points, including: plotting of functions, differential equations,
numerical integration of functions, root finding and optimization.
Runs on macOS 10.13 and later, Igor Pro 9 for
Mac is only available as a 64-bit application.
Igor Pro 9 runs on Windows 7 or later. Both 32- and
64-bit applications are installed by default.
