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
|

|
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).
|
