Abstract

This article describes how computers and free software tools can be used to process experimental data and prepare corresponding reports and protocols. The Python and LATEX are presented here as an example of suitable freely available open source software. They are a viable option offering numerous advantages over the widely used general purpose commercial software tools employing standard office spreadsheet and text editors. The use of this software is demonstrated here on a simple example experimental measurement processing. It can be shown that this approach leads to significant time savings during repeated measurements and important financial savings due to use of free software tools.
