Reciprocal Function
Owning Palette: Numeric Functions
Installed With: Base Package
Divides 1 by the input value.
The connector pane displays the default data types for this polymorphic function.
 |
x can be a scalar number, array or cluster of numbers, array of clusters of numbers, and so on. |
 |
1/x is infinity if x is 0. If x is an integer, 1/x is a double-precision, floating-point number. |
Reciprocal Details
Fixed-Point Details
If you wire a fixed-point value to this function, by default LabVIEW configures the integer word length of the reciprocal to avoid overflow. However, because the precision of the reciprocal can be infinite, quantization conditions always occur. Use the Numeric Node Properties dialog box to configure how LabVIEW handles quantization of fixed-point data. This function always uses the Saturate overflow mode to handle overflow.
Example
Refer to the Add - Various Uses VI in the labview\examples\general\functions\Numeric directory for an example of using the Reciprocal function.
