LabVIEW programming topics - calculations with arrays

Using arrays (2)

This vi demonstrates some array calculations.

In the LabVIEW programming manual you can read about the polymorphic behaviour of LabVIEW. A function may work on various types and/or numbers of operands. A function may even work for a scalar as well as for an array.

The vi you can download here, shows some possiblities. What, as depicted below, is the result of a calculation between a 1D array and a scalar, or between a 1D array and a differently sized 1D array?
