Signal acquisition and instrument control with the VISA Toolbox

Today Scilab Enteprises is releasing the first version of the VISA toolbox for signal acquisition and instrument control. Developed in partnership with National Instruments, this extension to Scilab provides a universal interface for measurement devices. This toolbox can work with most of the device suppliers on the market, in particular National Instruments and Agilent/HP. It supports a variety of devices, including: Digital multimeter (DMM) Oscilloscope Arbitrary waveform/function generator DC power supply AC power supply Spectrum analyzer RF signal generator Upconverter Downcon

Availability of Scilab 6.0.0 alpha 2

Today we are happy to announce the second alpha version of Scilab 6.0, the major future release of the open source platform for numerical computation. This release is a preview for developers, partners and community evaluation. It can be downloaded from the Scilab 6.0.0 Alpha 2 download page. This release brings improvements to the 6.0.0 Alpha 1, released earlier this year, including a few additional functionalities. We don't forsee any further alpha version. New features  • A full-featured debugger, with ability to run Scilab scripts or functions step-by-step, to put (conditional) brea

Scilab 6.0.0-alpha 1 Release

Scilab team is happy to announce the release of the first alpha version of Scilab 6.0   Scilab 6.0.0 is a major new release of Scilab, the open source platform for numerical computation. This 6.0.0-alpha-1 release, is a preview for developers, partners and community evaluation. As an alpha, this release is not yet ready for production usage. If you are new to Scilab, or if you are simply a user of Scilab, you should probably continue using the 5.5.2 release, and wait for a beta version before trying the 6 family.  However, if you have already developed code on Scilab, or if you are an ex

Scilab-Arduino Workshop in India

3-4 July 2015, IIT Bombay The FOSSEE team at IIT Bombay is conducting a two-day (3-4 July 2015) workshop on Arduino control through Scilab. Participants will learn to perform embedded system experiments on the Arduino board using Arduino IDE, Scilab script and Xcos. The workshop kit will include an Arduino UNO board, a shield containing sensors and actuators, and necessary documentation. The participants are expected to bring a Windows or a Linux based laptop with Scilab installed.  For registration, please visit the dedicated website.

Scilab welcomes its 2015 Google Summer of Code students

Students projects have been selected for the GSOC 2015. Here is the list of accepted projects and students: Xcos Automatic Layout (Chenfeng ZHU) Xcos provides a graphical editor which allows to represent models with block diagrams by connecting the blocks to each other. However, as the number of blocks increases, an Xcos schema can become messy. This idea of this project is to provide options to automatically update the layout of a Xcos schema and keep the diagrams well-presented.  Mentors: Paul BIGNIER, Clément DAVID Improving ATOMS Packaging System (Kartik GUPTA) This project aims at
