[pahlevi28]

hi friends,

i want to do a simple equation using formula node. just plus, subtract and .times.

why it gets an error? i'm sorry i never using math formula before. I've attached my VI. Thankyou

Hi pahlevi,

the error description in the error dialog is quite clear…

Why do you need a formula node at all? Why not use simple math functions from numerics palette?

Mz = b*(-c+d)+a(e-f);

Well, what operation are you performing on the "a" and "(e-f)" operands?  Perhaps you meant Mz = b*(-c+d)+a*(e-f); or Mz = b*(-c+d)+a/(e-f);?

Of course the nodes are expecting SCALAR values rather than arrays of 100 points

this one actually Sir. Mz = b*(-c+d)+a*(e-f)

i'm sorry for typo.
