Outer Product VI

Owning Palette: Linear Algebra VIs

Requires: Base Development System

Computes the outer product of X Vector and Y Vector. The data types you wire to the X Vector and Y Vector inputs determine the polymorphic instance to use.

Real Outer Product

	X Vector is the first input vector.
	Y Vector is the second input vector.
	Outer Product is the outer product. If one of the input sequences is an empty array, Outer Product is an empty array.
	error returns any error or warning from the VI. You can wire error to the Error Cluster From Error Code VI to convert the error code or warning into an error cluster.

Complex Outer Product

	X Vector is the first input vector
	Y Vector is the second input vector.
	Outer Product is the complex outer product. If one of the input sequences is an empty array, the Outer Product is an empty array.
	error returns any error or warning from the VI. You can wire error to the Error Cluster From Error Code VI to convert the error code or warning into an error cluster.

Outer Product Details

Let x represent the input sequence X Vector and y represent the input sequence Y Vector. The VI calculates Outer Product using the following equation.

where a represents the 2D output sequence Outer Product, n is the number of elements in the input sequence X Vector, and m is the number of elements in the input sequence Y Vector.
