I can explain how I use it.

Sometimes you measure current or voltage depending on another parameter,
like voltage etc. With gnuplot you can convert this table of values
into a graph, this gives some information, I think.

Example: vco frequency / control voltage.

gnuplot can also plot virtually all mathem. functions.
Sometimes I have a circuit idea, solve the equations, and then
I try to figure out what happens. gnuplot gives me a graph
of the functions, I can vary parameters and see the effect.

For me it is a very quick way to avoid conceptual errors.
No need to solder something that wont even work in theory.

So gnuplot saves me a lot of time.
