Working with LabVIEW and INRIA Scilab
PrintOverview
LabVIEW is an open platform that allows you to easily integrate 3rd-party (external) software such as INRIA Scilab. Learn more about the LabVIEW / INRIA Scilab Gateway, software that allows you to easily invoke INRIA Scilab scripts from your LabVIEW graphical programming.

What is INRIA Scilab?
INRIA Scilab is widely used software for numerical computation that is freely downloadable from http://www.scilab.org, Scilab offers a text-based language with built-in functions and syntax that simplify working with vectors and matrices.
Connecting NI LabVIEW with INRIA Scilab
The NI LabVIEW Scilab Gateway allows you to easily invoke your Scilab Scripts from your LabVIEW Virtual Instruments (VIs).
Visit NI LabVIEW Scilab Gateway to download and install the Gateway.
Creating a Scilab Script Node
To create a Scilab Script Node in LabVIEW, first place a MATLAB® or Xmath Script Node on the block diagram. The script nodes are found in the Functions palette by browsing to Mathematics >> Scripts & Formulas >> Script Nodes .
Select the Scilab Script Server by right-clicking the border of the script node, then selecting Choose Script Server >> Script Scilab. Note: The NI LabVIEW Scilab Gateway must be downloaded and installed prior to this step.
