This serious application is designed to help in the recording and analysis of any data which occurs regularly over a period of time, and displays it in the form of a table or an automatically scaled and plotted graph.

Output from the program is either to the screen, or to a ZX Printer, but herein lies the snag! Sinclair have discontinued it!

There are other similar printers, but I suspect that many "grown up" Spectrums will be used to drive full-sized jobs, which means separate interface software, for which this program doesn't cater because it uses the COPY command.

Options to drive other interfaces would have been very useful.

In the same way, when you've entered all your data, efficiently error-trapped, the only way to save it is along with the program. Even in standard form, the Spectrum allows discrete blocks of data to be SAVEd, and this could have been built in.

Indeed, transfer to Microdrive, and use of this excellent piece of hardware for data storage would really improve this program.

Too critical? No! This is a clever and worthwhile piece of software which deserves further development. There should be more like it.
