Default Trace Analysis Software

I saw a few posts on this topic a day or so ago on the ls1-edit mailing list, and it made me think there might actually be some interest in this.

I have been working on a solution for the quick analysis of scanner trace files. I routinely talk performance/tracing/ls1-edit w/ friends of mine here locally (in KY), and I needed a way to maintain a trace library so we could all pool our traces together and analyze them very quickly.

I tried the excel route, but managing all of the spurious excel files became a problem, especially when each file has the 'logic' for analysis in it.... I had a hard time trying to retro-fit logic changes into previous scans, simply because it was duplicated everywhere.

Excel is an awesome data analysis tool, but I didn't like having to work the data in that format - to me, it was just too clunky for what I was after.

So, in an effort to solve my problem, I have been working on this
software: http://www.whitneyroberts.com/lsxtra...ograminfo.aspx

I'd appreciate everyone taking a look at the page, and offering any comments/suggestions back to me. Thanks! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I would in no way discourage you from developing your own software. It's just that to me, Excel is a quick, fast, and easy way to analyze data.
Whatever works.

You are right... Excel is not bad. I just needed a 'database' format for managing a lot of traces, and this seemed like a natural way of doing it! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Add me too, please. While I know it could be done in Excel or Access, I don't care to be an expert at either.
