Femtosoft QuickFrog Software Packages

Femtosoft offers two QuickFrog software packages - QuickFrog and QuickFrog Lite.

The QuickFrog program (since 2004), interfaces with a framegrabber device or a camera to continuously read data from the camera that senses the FROG signal. The retrieval of the pulse data therefore happens in real time, as the program runs continuously. QuickFrog is custom-designed to work with Swamp Optics GRENOUILLE devices.

QuickFrog Lite (since 2010) is a slimmed down version of QuickFrog, which sells with Swamp Optics' kit version of GRENOUILLE devices.

Here is a matrix describing the features of the two programs:
