Time Narration


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
