Script Nodes

Owning Palette: Scripts & Formulas VIs

Requires: Full Development System. This topic might not match its corresponding palette in LabVIEW depending on your operating system, licensed product(s), and target.

Use the script nodes to parse formulas, which are in the form of a string, and convert the formula strings to a form that can be used for evaluating results. The script nodes use a variety of routines to handle the formulas.

The script nodes on this palette can return script node error codes or formula parsing and mathematics error codes.

Palette ObjectDescription
MATLAB scriptCalls the MATLAB® software to execute scripts. You must have a licensed copy of the MATLAB software version 6.5 or later installed on your computer to use MATLAB script nodes because the script nodes invoke the MATLAB software script server to execute scripts written in the MATLAB language syntax. Because LabVIEW uses ActiveX technology to implement MATLAB script nodes, they are available only on Windows.
