I would like to find software to plot biological functions like pulse rate and blood pressure along with sound and video, on a time line, suggestions? I use Sony Vegas for the latter.

If you mean a package to analyse the data, you can go with something like MatLab, or if you want free software, you can try the "R programming language"
Depends whether you are gonna save the data first and analyse it from a file later, or whether you want something to actually record the data from whatever hardware you want. For the latter, you would have to do some research into what is used or how exactly to use it.

R is more of a statistical language, i don't think he'll be able to do what he wants to accomplish with it... I would definitely suggest Matlab or Scilab (Free version of Matlab).

Didnt know about SciLab.
I have only dabbled in R anyway...not touched matlab yet at University. Just know of them
Oh men, we use Matlab in geology, it's a freakin' nightmare. The program itself is pretty good, but how we learn it is horrible :/Didnt know about SciLab.

Never tried Scilab though, just know that it exists.

At least you aren't using Mathematica...
They say it is amazing, but no one can prove it as no one has ever been able to afford it.
Matlab?
Well personally... Let's not talk about this. but on campus we have licences so we're all good. Thing is, for what we do with it, new programs have already come out that are better, such as comsol for geophysical models...

I meant mathematica. We have licences for MatLab too iirc.
There is another package that the OP might find useful but I am going mad trying to remember it -.-
Ah never used Mathematica.
To create functions and plot them, Matlab is almost an overkill but it works!

Actually, I have a list of packages in lecture notes somewhere... gimme five minutes to find them
Right. These are more regarding stats. Depends though (it is in a presentation regarding plotting of data and representation of results)
Gnuoctave and ggplot2 seem good for data representation. You have Maple (shudder) which my Uni uses to generate math coursework tests which also seems to do data plotting.
You can use the numpy, scipy and matplotlib libraries if you fancy hacking your own solution together in python.
Perl has some decent libraries for plotting and recording data.
