Instrumentation Software

Hello all,
Just wondering what is popular out there for software for setting up and troubleshooting instruments. I was using e+h fieldcare but the pc it was on died and now i am being told i need to buy a new licence. I have heard things about pactware from vega and it is free.

Both will work with instruments from various manufacturers.

Thanks

If you are familiar with Fieldcare then Pactware is a free alternative. It is available as a download from many instrument manufacturers web sites such as this
