Hi,
not strictly electronics, but have no idea where else to ask. I am having also nothing from google (probably wrong asking).
I am looking for a software for analysing acquired data. I have a table with thousands of rows and few columns of data. I would like software to plot it, have some markers like oscilloscope to get the value, maybe also calculate the differences in Y and X axis.
I know very nice ibaAlalyser but it only works with the data acquired by ibaPDA.
Excel graphs are nice, but can't take the values, no markers etc.
Will be very thankful for any advice
Greetings

Gnuplot.
Lots and lots of it!

Why can excel not take the values? You can add extra markers by creating a new series for labels/markers.
Also Octave is a nice tool for processing data and generating plots. Octave is a free tool similar to matlab.

Another vote for Gnuplot. And if that is too simple move on to Octave, or if you are really serious about stats, R
-
Mathematica only aboard your pirate ship, because you can't afford it. On the topic of things you can't afford, MATLAB. Both are awesome. Octave is a good, free sub for MATLAB.
I wouldn't advise Gnuplot. Esoteric scripting, kind of a pain in the ass, and limited beyond plotting (not great for analyzing). Octave uses it to plot, IIRC, which is a better way in my opinion.

What do you think about SCILAB:

octave (just like matlab, just cheaper): http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/ (http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/)
If you are pythonically inclined then give SciPy/Matplotlib a try: http://www.scipy.org/ (http://www.scipy.org/)

I use ipython notebook with inline pylab.
