The recent introduction of a two dimensional interactive software package provides a new technique for quantitative analysis. Integrated with its corresponding peripherals, the same software offers either film or video data reduction. Digitized data points measured from the images are stored in the computer. With this data, a variety of information can be displayed, printed or plotted in a graphical form. The resultant graphs could determine such factors as: displacement, force, velocity, momentum, angular acceleration, center of gravity, energy, length, angle and time to name a few. Simple, efficient and precise analysis can now be quantified and documented. This paper will describe the detailed capabilities of the software along with a variety of applications where it might be used.
