Owning Palette: Mathematics VIs

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 Package, 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 Package.

The VIs on this palette can return mathematics error codes.
