Linear Algebra VIs

Owning Palette: Mathematics VIs

Requires: Base Development System. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.

Use the Linear Algebra VIs to perform matrix-related computations and analysis.

Note  Many Linear Algebra VIs are available only in the LabVIEW Full and Professional Development Systems. If you have the LabVIEW Base Development System, you do not have the full set of the Linear Algebra VIs described in this help file. A subset of the Linear Algebra VIs is available in the LabVIEW Base Development System.

The VIs on this palette can return mathematics error codes.
