Welcome to the spoken tutorial on Why Scilab.
|
| 00.06
|
In this tutorial you will come to know some of the capabilities of the Scilab package and benefits of shifting to Scilab.
|
| 00.15
|
Scilab is free and open source, user friendly numerical and computational package
|
| 00.23
|
Used in various streams of Engineering and Science.
|
| 00.28
|
It is available for various operating systems (OS) namely Windows, Linux and Mac OS/X
|
| 00.35
|
Scilab is to be pronounced with “Sci” as in Scientific and “Lab” as in Laboratory
|
| 00.43
|
Because Scilab is a free and open source software , users can:
|
| 00.48
|
See and modify the source code.
|
| 00.51
|
Redistribute and improve the source code.
|
| 00.55
|
Use the software for any purpose.
|
| 00.59
|
This is obvious advantage for Private Industries, Entrepreneurs, Defence Establishments,
|
| 01.05
|
Research Organisations, Academic Institutions and the Individual User.
|
| 01.12
|
As an institution, piracy of commercial packages is avoided fully by adopting FOSS tools.
|
| 01.20
|
Skills learnt using Scilab at academic level are useful later in the industry as usage is free of cost.
|
| 01.29
|
Scilab together with various toolboxes, which are also free, can perform operations like
|
| 01.36
|
Matrix operations
|
| 01.38
|
Control Systems
|
| 01.40
|
Image and Video Processing
|
| 01.43
|
Real-time Control of Hardware using (Serial Toolbox)
|
| 01.48
|
Interfacing Data Acquisition Systems/Cards using (HART Toolbox)
|
| 01.54
|
Simulation with the help of (Xcos-Block Diagram Simulator)
|
| 01.59
|
Plotting
|
| 02.01
|
Hardware In Loop i.e (HIL) Simulation
|
| 02.06
|
Hardware-In--Loop differs from pure real-time simulation by the addition of a real component in the loop.
|
| 02.14
|
Scilab in combination with 'Single Board Heater System device' is used as a HIL setup for performing control system experiments.
|
| 02.26
|
Syntax is very easy for Scilab.
|
| 02.29
|
Many numerical problems can be expressed in a reduced number of code lines, as compared to similar solutions using traditional languages, such as Fortran, C, or C++.
|
| 02.42
|
Scilab like many well known proprietary packages uses “State-of-art” libraries i.e LAPACK for numerical computations.
|
| 02.52
|
There is a very large user community that uses and supports Scilab by contributing a great deal in the form of
|
| 03.00
|
Mailing lists,
|
| 03.02
|
Usenet groups i.e (Internet Discussion forums), and websites.
|
| 03.07
|
For more information about scilab, its toolboxes and mailing lists visit; scilab.org or scilab.in website
|
| 03.18
|
Some organisations that are using Scilab very successfully are
|
| 03.23
|
CNES which is (French Space Satellite Agency),
|
| 03.29
|
EQUALIS
|
| 03.31
|
Techpassiontech and
|
| 03.33
|
IIT Bombay for research and academic purposes
|
| 03.38
|
Some of the activities for promoting Scilab through NMEICT projects at IIT Bombay are
|
| 03.45
|
Lab Migration that is ( Shifting all computational laboratories to Scilab)
|
| 03.51
|
Virtual Labs that is ( Remote Access to the Single Board Heater System: )
|
| 03.56
|
In addition, the FOSSEE Project funded by National Mission on Education through ICT, MHRD, Govt of India, currently focuses on Python and Scilab.
|
| 04.08
|
We have several spoken tutorial on Scilab at this time.
|
| 04.12
|
Scilab Effort in India is co-ordinated through this website scilab.in
|
| 04.18
|
There are some interesting projects one of them is the Textbook Companion project, that codes worked out examples of standard textbooks using Scilab
|
| 04.28
|
The link project allows users to link known Scilab documents and rank them
|
| 04.34
|
We also help organize Scilab Workshops
|
| 04.38
|
We have two mailing lists one for announce and another for discuss.
|
| 04.43
|
We invite your participation in all our activities
|
| 04.47
|
Let us get back to spoken tutorials
|
| 04.50
|
The spoken part will be available in various Indian Languages as well.
|
| 04.56
|
These are available at spoken-tutorial.org website
|
| 05.01
|
These tutorials form a part of Level 0 training in Scilab.
|
| 05.06
|
These tutorials are available absolutely free of cost.
|
| 05.10
|
We wish to cover many FOSS systems through this route.
|
| 05.14
|
We welcome your feedback on these.
|
| 05.17
|
We also welcome your participation
|
| 05.19
|
On writing the outline for the software.
|
| 05.22
|
To write the original scripts.
|
| 05.24
|
To record the spoken tutorial.
|
| 05.26
|
To translate the script into various Indian Languages.
|
| 05.30
|
To dub the audio in Indian Languages using the script.
|
| 05.35
|
To review and give your feedback on all of the above.
|
| 05.39
|
We welcome you to conduct workshops using these spoken tutorials.
|
| 05.44
|
We also invite you to conduct efficacy studies on Spoken tutorials.
|
| 05.49
|
We are also looking for experts who can give technology support for audio, video, automatic translation, etc.
|
| 05.57
|
We have funding for all these activities
|
| 06.01
|
This spoken tutorial has been created by the Free and Open Source Software in Science and Engineering Education(FOSSEE).
|
| 06.08
|
More information on the FOSSEE project could be obtained from fossee.in or scilab.in website
|
| 06.16
|
Supported by the National Mission on Eduction through ICT, MHRD, Government of India.
