I use matlab for my own stuff, and that works most of the time.
The reason I ask is that the customer does have excel, and I
would like to use that, if possible.

These guys will be logging data for a fortnight, and they would
like to see the data for themselves as the data are collected.
This is a once-only occurence. If the results are good, we
will probably make a more streamlined system where data
logging and presentation are taken care of.

But until we get the results that justify us making a custom
system, we must make do with what we have...
