Hi, Michael and other Labview Wiki users. Over the years, Labview's mathematics and signal processing library has grown and grown to the point where I don't know how to use half of them. It's such a rich and capable resource to the Labview programmer who deals with all sorts of interesting signals. I'd like to see a wiki section devoted to this library, and I'd try to promote a community effort to make a page for each function. Each page would include:

• Function description (including mathematical background and formulas, and a link to an NI help or manual page)
• When to use it (in what real world applications, automated system situations, signal characteristics, and analysis goals is it useful?)
• Instructions and example of how to use it correctly (including a well-commented VI or a link to an NI example VI)
• External links (such as to a page on a university website or Wikipedia with a tutorial on the subject)

This wiki section should be divided into subsections to exactly match the hierarchy of the Mathematics and Signal Processing function palletes, to allow easy navigation when you're programming. The first layer of subsections would be:

Mathematics

Elementary
Linear Algebra
Fitting
Interpolation & Extrapolation
Integration & Differentiation
Probability & Statistics
Optimization
Differential Equations
Geometry
Polynomial
Formula String

Signal Processing

Waveform Generation
Waveform Conditioning
Waveform Measurement
Signal Generation
Signal Operation
Windows
Filters
Spectral Analysis
Transforms
Point By Point

What do you think?

I think it's a great idea, go for it!
