[Scilab-users] News: Scilab 6 Beta, VISA Toolbox, Embedded World 2016

[Yann DEBRAY]

Hello Scilab user,

It has been a while since we last shared news with you. Here are some 
recent updates we hope you will like.


    Scilab 6 Beta

Scilab 6.0 is a major new release of Scilab, the open source modeling & 
simulation platform. This beta version is a preview for all users, 
commercial as well as community.

*What's new: *

--> New computation coreenabling bigger data sets
--> Improved Xcos allowing larger models
--> Utilities for development productivity (debugger, profiler and coverage)

To provide relevant informations to the user, we also introduced a new 
view called "Newsfeed".
The release will come soon, so feel free to give us feedback about your 
experience.

    Signal acquisition and instrument control
    with the Scilab VISA Toolbox (beta version)


    In partnership with National Instruments, we have developed a Scilab
    interface for measurement devices from leading manufacturers
    (National Instruments, Agilent/HP, ... )

Here is the first version of this VISA toolbox for signal acquisition 
and instrument control. This is a beta version: your feedbacks are welcome.

TheVirtual Instrument Software Architecture 
<https://www.ni.com/visa/>(VISA) is a standard for configuring, 
programming, and troubleshooting instrumentation systems comprising 
GPIB, VXI, PXI, Serial, Ethernet, and/or USB interfaces. VISA provides 
the programming interface between the hardware and development 
environments.

    Event Embedded World // 23-25 February 2016, Nuremberg

Starting with the largest embedded systems' event of the year:Embedded 
World 2016 <https://www.embedded-world.de/en>
23 - 25 February 2016 in Nuremberg, Germany

We will be present on the booth of Evidence (Hall 4 / 4-545 
<https://www.embedded-world.de/en/ausstellerprodukte/embwld16/exhibitor-18047504/evidence-srl>_)_ and 
Emmtrix (Hall 4A, booth 520d 
<https://www.embedded-world.de/en/ausstellerprodukte/embwld16/exhibitor-19553455/emmtrix-technologies>_)_

Scilab has many applications in the field of embedded systems :
--> post-processing of test data
--> automation of tasks
-->prototyping of control algorithms
-->identification of systems parameter
-->simulation of control systems
--> embedded code generation

Here are some use cases of Scilab in this field, from our last ScilabTEC :
