Inputs/Outputs

  • ci32.png operation A

    operation A specifies the operation the VI performs on A.

    0Direct (default)
    1Conjugated & Transposed
    2Transposed
  • c2dcdb.png A

    A is a complex matrix of dimensions N × K.

  • c2dcdb.png C

    C is a Hermitian matrix.

    The VI updates the first N rows and columns of the upper or lower triangular component of C, depending on what you select for matrix C type. The number of rows and columns in input matrix C must be greater than or equal to N. The default is an N × N matrix with all elements equal to 0.

  • ci32.png matrix C type

    matrix C type specifies whether to update the upper or lower triangular component of C.

    2Lower Triangular—The VI uses only the lower triangular component of C to calculate the update.
    3Upper Triangular (default)—The VI uses only the upper triangular component of C to calculate the update.
  • cdbl.png alpha

    alpha is a complex scalar that scales A*A^H or A^H*A, where A^H is the same as the conjugate transpose of A. The default is 1.

  • cdbl.png beta

    beta is a real scalar that scales C.

    The default is 1.

  • i2dcdb.png zherk

    zherk is a complex matrix of the same dimensions as C.

    For the elements in the first N rows and N columns of the triangular component you select for matrix C type, zherk returns the results of the calculation. For any remaining elements, zherk returns the value of the element with the same index in C.

  • ii32.png error

    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.
