I am, I think, changing my view on this towards "include them all". I do know that Matlab includes a data acquisition toolkit for example. The scilab web page mentions a scilab-labview gateway - and GPIB toolbox amongst others. > > Well, there is no really strong opinion on my side. I turned the > Depends into Suggests.

The fundamental question is, would you use it for writing a data acquisition system, or is it just for analysing data offline (this is a question, I really don't know). If the former, it should be included, if the latter, it should not. Given what I've written above, I suspect it would be useful and therefore should be included.
