FlexPro is a proprietary software package for analysis and presentation of scientific and technical data, produced by Weisang GmbH. It runs on Microsoft Windows and is available in English, German, Japanese, Chinese and French. FlexPro has its roots in the test and measurement domain and supports different binary file formats of data acquisition instruments and software. In particular, FlexPro can analyze large amounts of data with high sampling rates.
FlexPro is a software application for analyzing and presenting data. All data, analyses and presentations are stored in an object database.[1][2][3][4] The structure of the database is similar to a file system on a hard drive. It is possible to build up a hierarchy of folders in FlexPro to organize the analysis. An entire FlexPro database can be stored in one file with size limited only by the hard drive space - not limited by the computer's RAM. The FlexPro user interface is based on Microsoft Office-like Ribbon technology.[5]
FlexPro provides wizards to create different 2D and 3D graphs as well as tables for data presentation. Typical graphs featured are line, symbol, scatter, bar, contour, waterfall, surface and polar plots. FlexPro also supports the media object (video format).[3] FlexPro lets you create multi-page reports directly in the FlexPro project database.
FlexPro has a built-in programming language, FPScript, which is optimized for data analysis and supports direct operations on non-scalar objects such as vectors and matrices as well as composed data structures like signals, signal series or surfaces. All operations can be executed either graphically (through menus or dialog boxes) or programmatically. Programmatic access is provided through an Automation Object Model and the built-in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Development Environment (VBA).[2]
Data can be analyzed either graphically using cursors in 2D or 3D graphs or mathematically using analysis objects or FPScript formulas. The underlying algorithm of an analysis object can be parameterized through a property sheet. Raw data, analysis objects and presentation objects like graphs, tables and documents form a dynamic network[1] which can be updated after new data has been imported. FlexPro supports time and frequency domain signal analysis,[2] spectral analysis,[2] order tracking, linear and non-linear curve fitting, descriptive and inductive statistics, event isolation,[3] acoustics, FIR and IIR filtering as well as counting procedures (e.g., Rainflow-counting).
FlexPro Project Database
FlexPro carries out all calculations not only with numbers, but also with physical quantities composed of a value and unit.[3] In addition to SI units, FlexPro also handles popular non-SI units such as Gaussian units and US units.[3]
FlexPro can export publication-quality graphs and reports to a number of file formats, including HTML, JPEG, PNG, and WMF.
FlexPro’s Data Explorer indexes data archives on the hard drive or server.[5] Configurable queries can be used to search for characteristic values or other data attributes and to find the data records to be evaluated.[5] It is also possible to set up user-defined calculations during the indexing process which can be used for further data analysis.
FlexPro supports various data files for import (standard file formats and binary file formats of data acquisition instruments and software): e.g. text and ASCII data (.csv and .txt), Excel workbooks, media files, wave files, ODBC data source, Matlab (.mat), National Instruments (.tdm, .tdms), ASAM ODS and ASAM COMMON MDF4, IMC Famos, NASA-CDF, Dewetron, DEWESoft, Graphtec, Hioki, IMC, Nicolet/Gould, OROS, SEFRAM, Viper, TEAC, Sony, Tektronik, Powermeter, Catman, Caesar, Imtec, Stemmer, Yokogawa, SPSS, LabView, Diadem, TurboLab, Systat, TableCurve.[1]
Gnumeric is a spreadsheet program that is part of the GNOME Free Software Desktop Project. Gnumeric version 1.0 was released on 31 December 2001. Gnumeric is distributed as free software under the GNU General Public License; it is intended to replace proprietary spreadsheet programs like Microsoft Excel. Gnumeric was created and developed by Miguel de Icaza, but he has since moved on to other projects. The maintainer as of 2002 was Jody Goldberg.
Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor developed by Microsoft for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and iPadOS. It features calculation or computation capabilities, graphing tools, pivot tables, and a macro programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Excel forms part of the Microsoft 365 suite of software.
Csound is a domain-specific computer programming language for audio programming. It is called Csound because it is written in C, as opposed to some of its predecessors.
In computing, a visual programming language, also known as diagrammatic programming, graphical programming or block coding, is a programming language that lets users create programs by manipulating program elements graphically rather than by specifying them textually. A VPL allows programming with visual expressions, spatial arrangements of text and graphic symbols, used either as elements of syntax or secondary notation. For example, many VPLs are based on the idea of "boxes and arrows", where boxes or other screen objects are treated as entities, connected by arrows, lines or arcs which represent relations. VPLs are generally the basis of Low-code development platforms.
AWStats is an open source Web analytics reporting tool, suitable for analyzing data from Internet services such as web, streaming media, mail, and FTP servers. AWStats parses and analyzes server log files, producing HTML reports. Data is visually presented within reports by tables and bar graphs. Static reports can be created through a command line interface, and on-demand reporting is supported through a Web browser CGI program.
Computer-assisted audit tool (CAATs) or computer-assisted audit tools and techniques (CAATTs) is a growing field within the IT audit profession. CAATs is the practice of using computers to automate the IT audit processes. CAATs normally include using basic office productivity software such as spreadsheets, word processors and text editing programs and more advanced software packages involving use statistical analysis and business intelligence tools. But also more dedicated specialized software are available.
ArcGIS is a family of client, server and online geographic information system (GIS) software developed and maintained by Esri.
The Apple Developer Tools are a suite of software tools from Apple to aid in making software dynamic titles for the macOS and iOS platforms. The developer tools were formerly included on macOS install media, but are now exclusively distributed over the Internet. As of macOS 10.12, Xcode is available as a free download from the Mac App Store.
Origin is a proprietary computer program for interactive scientific graphing and data analysis. It is produced by OriginLab Corporation, and runs on Microsoft Windows. It has inspired several platform-independent open-source clones and alternatives like LabPlot and SciDAVis.

NodeXL is a network analysis and visualization software package for Microsoft Excel 2007/2010/2013/2016. The package is similar to other network visualization tools such as Pajek, UCINet, and Gephi. It is widely applied in ring, mapping of vertex and edge, and customizable visual attributes and tags. NodeXL enables researchers to undertake social network analysis work metrics such as centrality, degree, and clustering, as well as monitor relational data and describe the overall relational network structure. When applied to Twitter data analysis, it showed the total network of all users participating in public discussion and its internal structure through data mining. It allows social Network analysis (SNA) to emphasize the relationships rather than the isolated individuals or organizations, allowing interested parties to investigate the two-way dialogue between organizations and the public. SNA also provides a flexible measurement system and parameter selection to confirm the influential nodes in the network, such as in-degree and out-degree centrality. The software contains network visualization, social network analysis features, access to social media network data importers, advanced network metrics, and automation.
