I am using IGOR PRO 6 and thinking about upgrading to 7. I am not sure whether these three plugins still work OK in the new app?

MANY THX
I would install the demo version of IP7 and try it out. Then you can see if it works out of the box or needs some minor fixes.

The last time I checked, the Neuromatic procedure files did not compile using Igor Pro 7 because Igor 7 has stricter checking for errors in procedure code. I was able to make a few minor changes to get Neuromatic to compile. I sent those changes to the author but don't know whether he's incorporated them at all. I think Neuromatic also includes one or more XOPs. I don't think I tested the XOPs. If the XOPs are 32-bit only, you would need to use the 32-bit version of Igor 7. Both Macintosh and Windows installers include a 32-bit and 64-bit Igor application.

We have had some reports that PPT does not work correctly with Igor 7. See http://www.igorexchange.com/node/7242 for details. Note that PPT is 32-bit only, so again you'd need to use the 32-bit version of Igor 7. XOPs that cover some of the functionality of PPT but which are still supported include the following:

I have never heard of tarotool so I have no idea about that one. If it's an XOP, then it's likely 32-bit only. If it's procedure code, it will likely work with Igor 7 though you may need to make some modifications if the compiler flags anything in the procedure as incorrect.
