Here is a GPIB
toolbox for Scilab. This toolbox enables communications between VISA
for Windows (either Agilent
or National Instrument) or Linux
(NI-VISA) and Scilab in order to control your instruments
with the serial port or the GPIB bus.
The GPIB toolbox includes several drivers
(written in scilab script) for RF and microwave instrumentation :
