In scilab (>= 5.1) type
exec("ds_getH5DSet_builder.sce");
to build the function.

To use it from then on simply use:
 exec("loader.sce");

getSig.sci:getSig() - returns a cached JET PPF/JPF:
[data, timeVec, XVec] = getSig(pulse, "path");

Scilab >= 5.2 has HDF5 linked into it already, so the header the file here includes must match the library scilab uses.
