From: Andreas Vaerge on 21 Nov 2007 16:50 In an attempt to study DSP (interest not immidiate use) I have bought "Digital Signal Processing 3rd edition" by Proakis and Manolakis and the self study guide also by Proakis. However it is assumed that I have MatLab available which I cannot quite afford :-(. I have found SciLab which (according to info on the net) should be able of doing most of what MatLab can, just differently. Now, I suppose I will have to convert the samples to SciLab format and thus I was wondering if there is any guide from which I can learn what is what in the two programs. Alternately, is there any good (beginners) DSP book or high quality website which uses SciLab for the samples? I do not seem to find anything on google.

It is at least mostly compatible with Matlab, although there are some significant differences. http://www.octave.org -- % Randy Yates % "The dreamer, the unwoken fool - %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % in dreams, no pain will kiss the brow..." %%% 919-577-9882 % %%%% <yates(a)ieee.org> % 'Eldorado Overture', *Eldorado*, ELO http://www.digitalsignallabs.com

You'll also want 'octave-forge', which is a collection of function that will make it even more likely that a given Matlab example will run as-is. -- Ben Jackson AD7GD <ben(a)ben.com> http://www.ben.com/

Neat stuff! Do you use the gEDA tools to do circuit card layout? I wonder if they have an autorouter available. I've been considering Orcad but 1) I don't like to spend money and 2) it won't run under linux. -- % Randy Yates % "With time with what you've learned, %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % they'll kiss the ground you walk %%% 919-577-9882 % upon." %%%% <yates(a)ieee.org> % '21st Century Man', *Time*, ELO http://www.digitalsignallabs.com |
