x

A real nonnegative number.

datatype_icon

n

The exponent parameter.

datatype_icon

error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.

If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.

If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

datatype_icon

En(x)

Value of the exponential integral function.

error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

Algorithm for Computing the Exponential Integral Function

The following equation defines the exponential integral function.

E ( x , n ) = ∫ 1 ∞ t − n e − x t d t

The following intervals for the input values define the exponential integral function.

n ∈ { 0 , 1 , 2 , ... } ,   x ∈ [ 0 , ∞ )

This node supports the entire domain of this function that produces real-valued results. For any nonnegative integer value of order n, the function is defined for nonnegative real values of x.

Where This Node Can Run:

Desktop OS: Windows

FPGA: Not supported

Web Server: Not supported in VIs that run in a web application
