Evaluates mathematical formulas and expressions similar to C on the block diagram. The following built-in functions are allowed in formulas: abs, acos, acosh, asin, asinh, atan, atan2, atanh, ceil, cos, cosh, cot, csc, exp, expm1, floor, getexp, getman, int, intrz, ln, lnp1, log, log2, max, min, mod, pow, rand, rem, sec, sign, sin, sinc, sinh, sizeOfDim, sqrt, tan, tanh. There are some differences between the parser in the Mathematics VIs and the Formula Node.

Refer to Creating Formula Nodes and Formula Node Syntax for more information about the Formula Node and the Formula Node syntax.

Note  The Formula Node accepts only the period (.) as a decimal separator. The node does not recognize localized decimal separators.

Example

Refer to the Create Function with Formula Node VI in the labview\examples\general\structs.llb for an example of using the Formula Node.
