accuracy controls the accuracy of the zero determination. The default is 1E - 8, which specifies the maximum deviation of the calculated solution from the actual solution. |
![]() |
h is the delta value to calculate the derivative of the given formula. The default is 1E - 8. |
![]() |
start is the start point of the interval. The default is 0.0. |
![]() |
end is the end point of the interval. The default is 1.0. |
![]() |
formula is a string representing the function under investigation. |
![]() |
zero is the determined zero of formula. zero is a good approximation only for the exact value. |
![]() |
f(zero) is the function value at the point given by zero. The answer should be very close to zero. |
![]() |
ticks is the time effort for the whole calculation of the function values in milliseconds. |

error returns any error or warning condition from the VI. |
Let f be the given function. Use a method that combines the simple midpoint strategy and the Newton strategy
where and
are given guesses with
The following illustration demonstrates the Newton strategy.
