PAST Counter Function

I’ve just discovered the very useful counter function in PAST. PAST is a statistical software package designed specifically for palaeontological data, and can do all sorts of tests and exploratory data processing. I’ve recently moved to version 3.14. One function I’ve just noticed is the counter – this enables you to input counts directly into a spreadsheet using the keys on your keyboard. It also provides auditory feedback and a total count. The software and instructions for its use are available from Øyvind Hammer’s website.
