I use a software called Igor Pro (WaveMetrics, OR) for Calcium Analysis.
First I use WinMDI to export the mean values etc in text format, and then I
can easily load them into any graphic program (Excel, Cricket, Sigmaplot or
Igor or ...), and display them as I need (overlays, smoothings, calculate
slopes, fittings etc).
I prefer Igor as you have a load of mathematical functions build in, you
can write macros to automate the analysis and do smoothings, calculate
ratios etc.
but just to display, other programs should work fine as well.
Here is Igor Pro's adress (this is in my opinion the best graphical program
on the market (always on the Mac, but coming to Win97/NT soon).:
