This sort of thing makes perfect sense for a spreadsheet.
Our RF engineer uses them for working out receiver gain distribution and other
things.
We use the Tcl/Tk program for doing stuff like calculating output power of a
transmitter as you look at the scope on its sniff port.. much faster than
loading a spreadsheet :)
Languages like Tcl are *very* easy to program even for novice coders (like our
RF engineer :) and are usually very portable as well.
