You might want to try the TISEAN package from Schreiber and Kantz
(http://ls11-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/people/hermes/NLDdocs/docs/). You
should see their book on Nonlinear time series analysis.

Having said that I will give my usual warning that unless you know a lot
about your system and are rather sure of it's intrinsic dimensionality
and time scales you can easily get garbage from any code. Just
inputting data will certainly give you numerical answers, but you'll
have no way of knowing if they make sense or not.

Treating code packages as black boxes is still dangerous in nonlinear
science. The best results are from people who understand the underlying
issues and write AND test their own code.

That's not a knock against TISEAN. It's true of any nonlinear numerical
package.
