Converts an array to a matrix of elements of the same type as the array elements. The data type you wire to the Real 2D Array input determines the polymorphic instance to use.

To Real Matrix

	Real 2D Array specifies a two-dimensional array.
	The elements in Real Matrix are of the same type as the elements in Real 2D Array. The order of the elements in Real Matrix is the same as the Real 2D Array order of the elements.

To Column Vector

	Real 1D Array specifies a one-dimensional array.
	The elements in Real Matrix (Column Vector) are of the same type as the elements in Real 1D Array. The order of the elements in Real Matrix (Column Vector) is the same as the Real 1D Array order of the elements.

To Complex Matrix

	Complex 2D Array specifies a complex two-dimensional array.
	The elements in Complex Matrix are of the same type as the elements in Complex 2D Array. The order of the elements in Complex Matrix is the same as the Complex 2D Array order of the elements.

To Complex Column Vector

	Complex 1D Array specifies a complex one-dimensional array.
	The elements in Complex Matrix (Column Vector) are of the same type as the elements in Complex 1D Array. The order of the elements in Complex Matrix (Column Vector) is the same as the Complex 1D Array order of the elements.

Array to Matrix Details

If the array elements are not real or complex double-precision floating-point numbers, LabVIEW converts the array elements to the closest data type.

LabVIEW stores the elements of 1D arrays in the first column of the matrix.
