Fwd: Allan variance

[Paul Cazottes]

Hello,

I would like to make a Allan varian script. This tool was first designed for 
time reference, and is becoming a de-facto standard to show the performance of 
inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyrometers).

We now can find scripts for Matlab as contribution, but I was not able to find 
it for scilab. I made one and would like to bring it to scilab, with full help 
etc etc.

Is it possible for scilab devs to explain me:
- how to make an optionnal argument in the syntax? Presently I would like to 
have a  syntax as AllanM(X,st,Npoints) where Npoints is optionnal and defaults 
to 100.
- write a help file? I didn't find an official tutorial in scilab.org 
- parallelize? The for loop is fully parallelizable. The Allan variance is 
simple to calculate yet CPU intensive on large sets. Maybe parrallelization is 
more for Scilab 6?

I would greatly appreciate helt on these points. Thanks for scilab devs to 
bring this product to everybody!
