MathScript Syntax Error

[16rasmuaut]

Obviously, I am very new to LabVIEW. I am not understanding the details supplied by the error message related to the mathscript node. I would really appreciate any feedback! Thanks.

Since you are new to the forums, here are some tips.

1.  All questions on the LabVIEW forum have to deal with LabVIEW, so it is pointless to give your message the subject of "LabVIEW"  (but you did spell it correctly!😀)   I changed the name to a more meaningful subject.

2.  It helps to post your actual VI so we can play with it, poke at it, debug it.  We can't do that with a picture.

Your picture so a red X on the line that says END.  So I bet the problem is there.  I don't have mathscript installed so I can't debug that further.  Check the help file.  In other text languages, I think that should be either Endif  or End if

We can tell that you are "new" -- you have a title that has no meaning (this is the LabVIEW Forum -- everything posted here is (or should be) about LabVIEW.  [Hint -- a better title would be "Help with error in Mathscript"].

If you have a VI that is giving you an error, post the VI.  I, for one, can't see much on my small screen.  The Error message, on the other hand, seems to have a lot of (useful) information.  Are you missing an "end"?

When you post your VI, not only will we be able to clearly see what you are doing, we'll be able to try it for ourselves, and potentially to fix it and explain the fix to you.

I moved your post to the Mathscript forum, because that's where it belongs.

Still, are you forced to really use Mathschript for this? Whatever you are trying to do would be trivial in plain LabVIEW (i.e. graphical code, not text). Try it!

thank you for you suggestions and tips on posting to this forum!

Thank you for your comment. It was suggested I perform this function in mathscript to learn how to use it. Because of school cancellation due to the virus, I do not have resources at the moment to receive help for more trivial questions. Thank you for letting me know there is a Mathscript forum.
