Hallo Stephan, I suggest to have a look at the Perl Data Language (PDL) http://pdl.perl.org/ which has all the nice features of perl (easy to learn, lots of modules in cpan, several possible guis like Tk, Gtk, ...) and the high-level access to the data language.
PDL supports a lot of different data types and a lot of different mathematical tools like fitting algorithms, matrix operations, ... . I have tested several numerical languages like matlab, octave, IDL, but the easiest way to combine GUI, numerical calculations and to access the devices is (to my opinion) PDL, Andreas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
