# Hints for Using Advanced Analysis Function Panels

With the analysis function panels, you can manipulate scalars and arrays of data interactively. You might find it helpful to use the Advanced Analysis Library function panels in conjunction with the User Interface Library function panels to view the results of analysis routines. When using the Advanced Analysis Library function panels, remember the following points:

- The computer on which you run LabWindows/CVI affects the processing speed of the analysis functions. A numeric coprocessor increases the speed of floating-point computations. If you are using an Advanced Analysis Library function panel and nothing seems to happen for an unusually long time, remember the constraints of your hardware.
- Many analysis routines for arrays run in place. That is, the functions can store the input and output data in the same array. This point is important to keep in mind when you process large amounts of data. Large double-precision arrays consume a lot of memory. If the results you want do not require that you keep the original array or intermediate arrays of data, perform analysis operations in place where possible.
- The Interactive Execution window maintains a record of generated code. If you forget to keep the code from a function panel, you can cut and paste code between the Interactive Execution and Source windows.
