LabVIEW Idea Exchange
There are alot of applications that require the use of Booleans, and when the boolean expression gets complicated or large it will be a headache on the programmer.
LabVIEW should try having a De Morgan law "function" or at least a way to simplify complicated Boolean expressions. Although it won't be used as much, it will be a handy tool for any electronics/programming course.
For instance, Partial fraction expansion isn't used regularly but when it's used it helps save time.
These are simple examples but can get more complicated. For example, usage 2 can have more input (e.g. 4) it will have 16 possibilities which have different simplified code.
USAGE 1: User wires some input on the block diagram, when the simplify button is used, it simplifies the complicated code to a simple one ( noting that it is not the unique solution as shown in USAGE 3)
USAGE 2: If for the application, the user changes the value of the input and he gets different output; this table can get the simplified; or the "best fit" for the number of data present.
In http://forums.ni.com/t5/ideas/v2/ideapage/blog-id/labviewideas/article-id/16975/tab/rich, I wanted to compare that Partial fraction expansion vi is not widely used except for certain applications yet it is important and beneficial.
Same goes for this idea.
