Details
If you call this function from a MathScript Node or a user-defined function, a warning glyph appears in the MathScript Node next to the line from which you call the function. The warning glyph indicates that LabVIEW operates with reduced error checking and slower run-time performance for the MathScript Node. To improve the error checking and optimize the performance of the MathScript Node, remove this function from scripts and user-defined functions. Also, do not change the MathScript search path list at run time. Instead, use the MathScript page of the Options dialog box to configure the default search path list for MathScript Nodes in the main application instance.
This function is not supported in the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine. Do not use this function in a stand-alone application or shared library.
Examples
b = evalscript('sin(1:10)')
