Owning Palette: Linear Algebra VIs

Use the Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines VIs to perform basic scalar-vector, vector-vector, matrix-vector, and matrix-matrix operations. The VIs on this palette can return mathematics error codes.

Palette Object	Description
amax - Max Element Index	For real vectors, returns the index of the element that has the maximum absolute value. For complex vectors, the VI returns the index of the element that has the maximum sum of absolute real and imaginary parts.
amin - Min Element Index	For real vectors, returns the index of the element that has the minimum absolute value. For complex vectors, the VI returns the index of the element that has the minimum sum of absolute real and imaginary parts.
asum - Absolute Values Sum	Calculates the sum of the absolute values of elements in a vector. For complex vectors, the VI calculates the sum of the absolute values of the real and imaginary parts of elements in a vector.
axpy - Scalar-Vector Product	Calculates the product of a scalar and a vector.
copy - Vector Copy	Replaces elements in y with elements in x.
ddot - Dot Product (DBL)	Calculates the dot product of two real vectors.
dger - General Matrix Rank-1 Update (DBL)	Calculates the rank–1 update of a general matrix.
drotm - Fast Givens Rotation (DBL)	Rotates a set of two-element vectors based on the original x-components and y-components and on the Rotation Matrix and related parameters that the drotmg - Fast Givens Rotation Parameters VI calculates.
drotmg - Fast Givens Rotation Parameters (DBL)	Calculates a fast Givens rotation matrix that zeros the y component of a two-element real vector and calculates the related parameters. You can use the output parameters in the drotm - Fast Givens Rotation (DBL) VI.
