Availability of Scilab 6.0.0 beta 2

Availability of Scilab 6.0.0 beta 2 We are happy to announce the release of the beta-2 version of Scilab 6.0.0, the upcoming revisited version of our open source platform for modeling, simulation & scientific data analysis. This 6.0.0 beta 2 is a release candidate for all users, commercial as well as community. Download Scilab 6.0.0 beta 2 Specific to this release:  --> Xcos - the graphical tool for dynamic systems modeling and simulation - also uses the new re-written Scilab engine, and is now running in native code, which should provide much better performance as well as support fo

Scilab & Arduino for low-cost data acquisition

For simple data acquisition tasks, Arduino represents an affordable and accessible platform. You can easily link your sensors to the analogic and digital I/Os. First of all, start by downloading the Arduino toolbox and the Serial communication toolbox on ATOMS. Then to get your connection between Scilab & Arduino, try out this tutorial Blinking LED Tutorial: The "Hello World" in electronics with Scilab and Xcos Here is a simple circuit for temperature acquisition directly controllable from Scilab & Xcos: To set it up, here is a tutorial for entry level test & me

Webinar for Measurement and Test Data Analysis with Scilab & Labview

In the field of industrial & scientific test & measurement, LabVIEW is an established platform for signal acquisition and instrument control. In addition to the real-time capabilities of LabVIEW, Scilab brings along post-processing of scientific data and advanced visualization. In order to get your started with this toolchain, we invite you to review this webinar presenting Scilab, the industrial use cases of our Software and four demos to let you discover step by step the join capabilities of Scilab and Labview: 1st Demo: Data transfer between Scilab and LabVIEW 2nd Demo: Emb
