I'm trying to set up a block in scicos that implements the modulo
function. Using the expression block and
entering modulo(u1,u2) results in the error "Unknown variable modulo."

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
-Scott

As the help page of the EXPRESSION block indicates, only the following 
functions are supported:

"The mathematical functions allowed are : sin, cos, tan, exp, log, sinh, 
cosh, tanh, int, round, ceil, floor, sign, abs, max, min, asin, acos, 
atan, asinh, acosh, atanh, atan2, log10. "

If you need to evaluate more general expressions, use the block Scifunc 
or SciBlk that allow the use of any code that is legal in ScicosLab. 
Note however that unlike the EXPRESSION block, these blocks are 
interpreted so they may not be as fast.

Thanks for the information. What help page are you referring to?

When I open the help page (right-click and choose help) for the
expression block I don't see any of the information that you've
included here. The help page I get is very sparse and there isn't any
mention that only a subset of
scilab functions are supported.

Are there some other help files that I should be looking at? Do
different versions have different help?

I'm using ScicosLab-4.4b7 on OS X.

I took a look at the help in Scilab 5.3.1-Xcos and I see the same
help. Where should I be looking?

Even http://www-scicos.inria.fr/HELP/eng/scicos/EXPRESSION.htm doesn't
list the limitations you quoted.

What's the help source you quoted?

Thanks again!

The help page has been updated since ScicosLab-4.4b8. The latest version 
of Scicos, Scicos 4.4, is distributed with ScicosLab 4.4, which was 
released a couple of months ago (www.scicoslab.org). I suggest you wait 
before upgrading your version since ScicosLab 4.4.1 will be released in 
a few days. There will in particular be specific improvements in the Mac 
version.
