[vsnet-chat 7269] Launch of Peranso 2.0

[Tonny Vanmunster]

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the launch of version 2.0 of Peranso, the "Light
Curve and Period Analysis Software". Peranso 2.0 is a major new release,
featuring many exciting new product functions and enhancements. Amongst
others :

- We added Dr. Alan Harris' Fourier Analysis method FALC, which is a de
facto standard for asteroid light curve period analysis. It offers an
harmonic order scan, an automatic period scan, etc. and will also appeal to
variable star observers. 
- We added the concept "Magnitude Error" to represent error values on
magnitude estimates. They are taken into account when performing a FALC
period analysis.
- Greatly enhanced data import capabilities.
- The online help has been completely rewritten and extended. It features
new tutorials, an introduction chapter about time-series analysis, a
glossary explaining such concepts as aliasing, harmonics, period error,
period significance, etc. The help file is also available as a User Manual
in PDF format, with nearly 200 pages and more than 100 illustrations.
- and so on ...

For more information about this new release, please visit our website at
http://www.peranso.com. There you will also find instructions for upgrading
from version 1.x to 2.0. A fully functional demo (with a time limitation) is
available for downloading.

Enjoy Peranso 2.0 !

Best regards,
Tonny
