The Mathematics VIs help you solve advanced mathematics and analysis problems. With the Mathematics VIs and LabVIEW, you can graphically assemble your problem-solving program as a block diagram. In addition, the interactive front panels introduce a new level of interactivity to math and analysis problem solving. With the Mathematics VIs, you can put the compiled speed, connectivity, open architecture, and flexibility of LabVIEW to work in your applications.
The following are some of the advantages of LabVIEW over text-based programming languages such as FORTRAN, C, and Pascal:
The graphical user interface combined with the data-driven paradigm makes LabVIEW the perfect tool for complex measurement and analysis tasks. You can use LabVIEW as a programming system for almost all kinds of numerically and symbolically oriented mathematical routines.
The core of the Mathematics VIs is the Formulas VI Library, which makes manipulating formulas on LabVIEW front panels possible. All the Mathematics VI libraries are interconnected and leverage off each other. For example, the Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE) VI library is based on the Formula VI libraries.
The strength of the complete Mathematics VIs is not just the power of individual VIs in performing mathematical calculations, but also in combining VIs to solve extremely complex problems. In addition, you can interface real-world measurements to the mathematical algorithms in order to obtain practical solutions. This flexibility makes these VIs extremely powerful for analysis.
