| 00.01 | 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 used in various streams of Engineering and Science. |
| 00.26 | It is available for various operating systems (OS) namely Windows, Linux and Mac OS/X |
| 00.33 | Scilab is to be pronounced with “Sci” as in Scientific and “Lab” as in Laboratory |
| 00.42 | Because Scilab is a free and open source software(FOSS), users can: |
| 00.47 | See and modify the source code. |
| 00.49 | Redistribute and improve the source code. |
| 00.53 | Use the software for any purpose. |
| 00.56 | This is obvious advantage for Private Industries, Entrepreneurs, Defence Establishments, |
| 01.03 | Research Organisations, Academic Institutions and the Individual User. |
| 01.10 | As an institution, piracy of commercial packages is avoided fully by adopting FOSS tools. |
| 01.17 | Skills learnt using Scilab at academic level are useful later in the industry as usage is free of cost. |
| 01.27 | Scilab together with various toolboxes, which are also free, can perform operations like |
| 01.33 | Matrix operations |
| 01.35 | Control Systems |
| 01.37 | Image and Video Processing (SIVP) |
| 01.39 | Real-time Control of Hardware using(Serial Toolbox) |
| 01.43 | Interfacing Data Acquisition Systems/Cards using (HART Toolbox) |
| 01.50 | Simulation with the help of (Xcos-Block Diagram Simulator) |
| 01.55 | Plotting |
| 01.57 | Hardware In Loop (HIL) Simulation |
| 02.02 | Hardware-In--Loop differs from pure real-time simulation by the addition of a real component in the loop. |
| 02.10 | Scilab in combination with 'Single Board Heater System device' is used as a HIL setup for performing control system experiments. |
| 02.29 | Syntax is very easy for Scilab. |
| 02.32 | 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++. |
| 02.44 | Scilab like many well known proprietary packages uses “State-of-art” librarie viz. LAPACK for numerical computations. |
| 02.54 | There is a very large user community that uses and supports Scilab by contributing a great deal in the form of mailing lists, |
| 03.03 | Usenet groups i.e (Internet Discussion forums), and websites. |
| 03.08 | For more information about scilab, its toolboxes and mailing lists visit;: www.scilab.org or www.scilab.in website |
| 03.20 | Some organisations that are using Scilab very successfully are |
| 03.25 | CNES which is (French Space Satellite Agency), below is the given link (http://www.scilab.org/news/events/20090706/Use-of-SciLab-for-space-mission-analysis) |
| 03.35 | EQUALIS ( http://www.equalis.com) |
| 03.38 | Techpassiontech ( http://www.techpassiontech.com) and |
| 03.40 | IIT Bombay (Research/Academic purposes.). |
| 03.46 | Some of the activities for promoting Scilab through NMEICT projects at IIT Bombay are |
| 03.53 | Lab Migration that is ( Shifting all computational laboratories to Scilab) |
| 03.59 | Virtual Labs that is ( Remote Access to the Single Board Heater System: www.co-learn.in/web_sbhs ) |
| 04.04 | In addition, the FOSSEE Project funded by National Mission on Education through ICT, MHRD, Govt of India, currently focuses on Python and Scilab. |
| 04.17 | We have several spoken tutorial on Scilab at this time. |
| 04.21 | Scilab Effort in India is co-ordinated through this website scilab.in |
| 04.27 | There are some interesting projects one of them is the Textbook Companion project, that codes worked out examples of standard textbooks using Scilab |
| 04.37 | The link project allows users to link known Scilab documents and to rank them |
| 04.45 | We also help organize Scilab Workshops |
| 04.48 | We have two mailing lists one for announce and another for discuss. |
| 04.54 | We invite your participation in all our activities |
| 04.58 | Let us get back to spoken tutorials |
| 05.01 | The spoken part will be available in various Indian Languages as well. |
| 05.07 | These are available at spoken-tutorial.org website |
| 05.12 | These tutorials form a part of Level 0 training in Scilab. |
| 05.17 | These tutorials are available absolutely free of cost. |
| 05.21 | We wish to cover many FOSS systems through this route. |
| 05.25 | We welcome your feedback on these. |
| 05.29 | We also welcome your participation |
| 05.31 | On writing the outline for the software. |
| 05.34 | To write the original scripts. |
| 05.37 | To record the spoken tutorial. |
| 05.39 | To translate the script into various Indian Languages. |
| 05.43 | To dub the audio in Indian Languages using the script. |
| 05.47 | To review and give your feedback on all of the above. |
| 05.51 | We welcome you to conduct workshops using these spoken tutorials. |
| 05.56 | We also invite you to conduct efficacy studies on Spoken tutorials. |
| 06.01 | We are also looking for experts who can give technology support for audio, video, automatic translation, etc. |
| 06.08 | We have funding for all these activities |
| 06.13 | This spoken tutorial has been created by the Free and Open Source Software in Science and Engineering Education(FOSSEE). |
| 06.20 | More information on the FOSSEE project could beobtained from fossee.in or scilab.in website |
| 06.29 | Supported by the National Mission on Eduction through ICT, MHRD, Government of India. |
| 06.35 | For more information, visit: http://spoken-tutorial.org/NMEICT-Intro |
| 06.45 | This is Anuradha Amrutkar from IIT Bombay signing off. |
| 06.48 | Thank you for joining us, Good Bye |
