Overview

Coding that exemplifies how to calculate the magnitude of a vector by two separate means.

 

Description

This VI shows how to calculate a vector's magnitude using two different methods. One method uses the complex math routines in LabVIEW, and the other uses the Pythagorean Theorem, given the X and Y magnitudes.

 

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code
1. Insert the values for X and Y
2. Select the Run button.
