Calculates the nth order derivative of a rational polynomial. The data types you wire to the P(x) and Q(x) inputs determine the polymorphic instance to use.

Inputs/Outputs
P(x)
—
P(x) contains the numerator polynomial coefficients, in ascending order of power.
Q(x)
—
Q(x) contains the denominator polynomial coefficients, in ascending order of power.
order
—
order specifies the derivative order. If order is less than zero, the VI sets Numerator d[P(x)/Q(x)]/dx and Denominator d[P(x)/Q(x)]/dx to empty arrays and returns an error.
Numerator d[P(x)/Q(x)]/dx
—
Numerator d[P(x)/Q(x)]/dx returns the numerator polynomial coefficients, in ascending order of power, of the nth order derivative of the rational polynomial.
Denominator d[P(x)/Q(x)]/dx
—
Denominator d[P(x)/Q(x)]/dx returns the denominator polynomial coefficients, in ascending order of power, of the nth order derivative of the rational polynomial.
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. |
