I have dabbled briefly with PC, and found it somewhat lacking for my needs. There
are a couple of people here that use it, though (we have both Wave CL and PC). I
would say that PC is great for those who want to do simple kinds of plots, and
don't really care about too much customization. Or for those who need PV-Wave like
features only once every couple of months or so. It really is much easier to use
if you don't know CL. I found PC tiring - dragging that mouse around when I knew
how simple my task would be if only I could type it in.
Paraphrased from the PV Wave CL Training class notes:
- Wave CL is a command level interactive system. It's also a programming language.
- Wave PC is for the non-programmer, is easy to learn, and has about 80% of CL's
functionality.
If you're using Wave for daily analysis or visualization, and desire to customize
things for your data, plot style, etc., you probably need CL. If you have someone
in your group with a programmers bent, they could make a WaveWidget GUI in CL to
make your customized applications easy as PC to use.
However, I would suggest calling up Visual Numerics for a free demo copy of one or
the other. That's the best way to find out what's right for you.
