[scilab-Users] Using Scilab DAQ toolbox

[Mahesha Hiremath]

Hi Rakhi,
  I'm not sure how much this would help, I would give it though-

They're into linux measurement and control interface. They do provide
support for many manufacturers including National Instruments.

Hope this helps.

Best Wishes

P.S. If you've got ubuntu, you can get directly get from synaptic package
manager. Is it possible to think about converting the data into required
format at system level itself? Linux is pretty good at doing such things,
and interesting part is it's open source. :)
