Introduction to ‘Processing’
Processing (programming language) was originally created for use by those not familiar with computer programming. Processing offers a medium to utilize computing power to help translate ideas into tangible outputs.
PhyLink’s Graphical User Interface (GUI) and measurement analysis software were created with Processing so users can modify/enhance the functionality of open source code if they desirable..
Processing works on several platforms including: Windows (64-bit and 32-bit), macOS, Ubuntu Linux (64-bit) and Android.
