Which version of Scilab works for your OS? Review on next slides
8/10/2011
Installation for Windows

Recommended versions of Scilab for your Windows OS (Latest Scilab version: 5.3.3)
OS Scilab Windows 7, Vista, XP* 32 bits 5.3.3 (32-bit) 64 bits 5.3.3 (64-bit) Windows 2000 5.2.1 Older version of Windows Version 4
(*) If installing Scilab v.5.3.x results in the error "CPU SSE2 instructions are required for Scilab to run correctly, your machine is missing the SSE2 chip instructions. From Scilab version 5.3.0, CPU SSE2 instructions are required for Scilab to run correctly. In order to install v.5.3.x, your processor needs to be upgraded to the one that has the SSE2 instruction set. Or you can download Scilab v.5.2.2 on your current machine.

Matlab to Scilab Code Translation

Semi-automatic translation Very similar syntaxes No major structure changes There are some corner cases - Content oriented - GUIs - etc.
Equalis can help with any corner cases Also Equalis Pro and Pro Plus support programs can help automate your processes through script development
Code Translation Example

Truncation effects of a time-domain signal
Reference: Digital Signal Processing Demonstrations https://engineering.purdue.edu/VISE/ee438/demos/Demos.html
No structure change Minor changes: comments % --> // clear all --> clear close all --> xdel(winsid()) pi --> %pi figure() --> scf() fft(x) --> fft(x, -1), ifft(x) --> fft(x, 1) Identical outputs
