Scientific Computing & Instrumentation,
Chicago, August 13,1999.
For the eighth consecutive year, Scientific Computing & Instrumentation (SC&I) readers named SigmaPlot the top "Presentation Graphics Software" in the publication's prestigious Reader's Choice Awards. Highlighting SigmaPlot's intuitive graphical interface, the announcement also notes the software's customizable graph attributes and interactive graph creation. Readers also selected TableCurve 3D as their first choice in the "Data Analysis Software" category.
"We're very pleased about this recognition because SigmaPlot and TableCurve 3D were enhanced in their most recent upgrades to make them more valuable for scientific and engineering research," said SPSS Science General Manager Joel York. "SigmaPlot and TableCurve 3D are great packages for scientists and engineers because the software is sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, so users save valuable research time."
The Reader's Choice Awards recognize readers' favorite products in a variety of categories in the scientific and technical markets. More than 53,000 scientists and researchers who subscribe to SC&I voted by ballots printed in the March and April issues of the publication or on the SC&I Web site. Readers made their 1999 selections based on value for price, technical support, ease of use, quality and reliability. All the winners and finalists were recognized in the magazine's July issue.
SigmaPlot 5.0 was released in February 1999 and continues the tradition of excellence found in earlier versions. It features new automated graphing and data analysis that maximizes productivity for researchers by enabling them to streamline their work and customize the application for their own specific needs. SigmaPlot is known for state-of-the-art graphics that enable users to create exact 2-D and 3-D technical graphs for presenting research results.
TableCurve 3D puts thousands of equations at the fingertips of scientists and engineers, enabling them to solve complex research problems faster. In one automated step, TableCurve 3D instantly fits and ranks about 36,000 out of more than 450 million frequently encountered equations, completely automating the surface fitting process.
