Hello Igor users:

We're looking to expand our pool of beta testers for Igor Pro 9. If you're interested, please fill out our short form at
https://www.wavemetrics.com/form/igor-pro-9-beta-tester-signup. You must have a valid Igor Pro 8 license in order to sign up to be a beta tester, and for coursework licenses only the owner of the license may sign up to be a beta tester.

If you're curious, here is a brief list of some of the new features in Igor Pro 9:

  • Autosave
  • HDF5 Experiment Files (option to save an experiment using current PXP format or new HDF5 based format) 
  • Improved Box Plot and Violin Plot style and plotting options
  • Expansion setting for control panels to accommodate large or small monitors
  • Command completion of user-defined functions and command tooltips for built-in and user-defined functions
  • Sparse matrix support
  • Complex curve fitting
  • Extensive Multipeak Fitting package improvements (thanks to forums user chozo)


Igor Pro 9 is fully supported on Windows 7 or later and macOS 10.13-10.14. Later versions of macOS are partially supported. You can install Igor Pro 9 beta and still continue using older versions.

All Igor Pro 8 English licenses (new and upgrades) sold on or after September 1, 2020, will be eligible for a free upgrade to Igor Pro 9 when it's released.
