simple x2 and divide by 2

[Mr.Fah]

Hello,

I just suggest simple function.

LabVIEW already have +1 and -1 function in numeracal palette.

In my experience, I commonly use multiple by 2 and divide by 2.

whenever I code labVIEW, I desire simple x2 and ÷2 function. (just like +1 or -1)

Thanks.

That probably would do the trick:

Edit: Except that of course it would not... really. Sorry!

Yes, scale by power of two is exactly what I use. n=1 is time 2 and n=-1 is divide by  2. (same as left shift, right shift). If you don't like the second connector, you can always wrap the functionalities into two inlined subVI.

When I need to multiply by 2 (which is not that often) I usually just use an Add and wire the number into both inputs.

I want that for just simplicity in block diagram.

The scale by power of two is just same as multiply or divide, already in palette.

Using Add instead of multiply by 2 seems good.

How about divide by 2 ? 🙂

Maybe Expression Node would be an option?

Use Left Shift and Right Shift for integers to do multiply by 2 and divide by 2, respecitvely.
