How is LabChart Lightning different?

LabChart Lightning runs on Quark, the same reliable and robust engine that powers LabChart 8. So not a lot has changed, except everything. LabChart Lightning has been completely re-imagined to focus on combining power, ease of use, and data integrity. This means that LabChart Lightning has some awesome new features like unlimited channels, cross recording analysis, custom calculations, and data management. LabChart Lightning also runs exactly the same version on both Windows and Mac. However, it does not yet have any of the extensions or modules that LabChart 8 has.

"If you enjoyed using LabChart 8, you're going to love Lightning, as it offers even more flexibility and customization."

Brandon Bucher, Head of Research, ADInstruments.

PowerLab Integration. Start and stop recording ECG/EKG, EEG, EMG and other biological data from PowerLab and ADInstruments amplifiers. Control hardware settings and filters from within LabChart Lightning.

PowerLab Integration

Data management. Organize your recordings within projects. Assign signals to subjects and groups within a project. Select regions of data for cross recording analysis.

Data management

Cross recording analysis and Table View. Analyze data across multiple biosignal recordings within a project. Organize recordings and channels by subjects or groups. Convert time based data from recordings to discrete values to use in statistical analysis.

Cross recording analysis

Unlimited channels and multiple device support. Record data into an unlimited number of channels and create as many calculated signals as you like. Sample from two or more PowerLabs, third-party devices, or a combination of both in the same recording.

Multiple Devices SupportMultiple Devices Support

Overlaid signals. Overlay signals by dragging and dropping them between channels.

 

Dark view and light view. Switch between dark and light view. Dark view makes it easier to look at your screen for long periods of time in low light environments.

Light mode

Dark mode

Custom calculations. Create custom calculations by dragging and dropping functions from our extensive function library. See the effect of custom calculations on your original data to optimize your calculations. Share your calculations with colleagues.

Custom calculations

Cross platform. Run exactly the same version of LabChart Lightning on both Windows and Mac.

Cross platform

History and autosave. Every change to a project and recordings is automatically saved and logged in the project history. Easily revert to previous versions of your project using the history feature.

Annotations and regions. Add annotations to your timepoints in data to mark events or add comments. Select and name regions of your data for cross recording analysis.

Annotating regions

Readout. Display your raw data or calculated signal as a large numerical display.

"The user interface is modern and easy to use."
