Data Acquisition Software or Programming Languages
Though almost any kind of programming language can be used to create programs to analyze raw data acquisition software info, quite a few programming languages have been developed to address this specifically. EPICS is used typically for very large data acquisition software systems and is optimized for this purpose. LabVIEW was developed for research and offers a programming environment that is presented graphically. Another graphically presented language is MATLAB which is distinguished by not only having a graphical presentation, but also libraries for analysis. Without these languages, it would be very difficult to interpret any generated measurements.
