Octave as substitute for Mathscript?

[nmoorewsu]

I understand that Mathscript is deprecated and the preferred way of running .m files is now to pick up a Matlab license and run the file via a mathscript node.  Wondering if anyone has tried to use gnu Octave https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/index as a substitute in this role?

Eg, imagine an undergrad wants to run a .m file from Labview (and has no funds for a Matlab and Labview licenses).  Could they call Octave from Labview and run the .m file that way?

Here's a concrete example: coffee-can radar comes with a matlab analysis script that runs in Matlab or Octave.  Student wants to build a Labview GUI around the script...https://ocw.mit.edu/resources/res-ll-003-build-a-small-radar-system-capable-of-sensing-range-doppler...

there is an labview interface to octave: https://github.com/KaeroDot/GOLPI
