Newbie question - error in function at line 1.

[PhillipA]

Okay, so I have a function defined in a file that essentially does an inverse Abel transform sort of thing on a really big matrix that it takes as an argument. The m-file for that function is attached.  It works on MATLAB, uses only standard syntax AFAIK, and also works on Octave.  Yet when I call it from the Mathscript Window, it takes a while to compile and gives this error:

 Error in function augie_image_processing_function at line 1: LabVIEW cannot compile the current MathScript.  Contact National Instruments with the MathScript you used.

Anybody willing to point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!

Hello,

What version of LabVIEW are you using?  I tried this in LabVIEW 2009 SP1 and the only issue I see is on line 74 (unknown symbol: init_abel).  This is simply because I don't have that function.  If I comment out that line or replace it with something else, I only get errors from val1, val2, and initabel not being initialized correctly.  Since I'm seeing errors later in the script, it means I don't see the same problem as you are.

Is your file saved on disk as augie_image_processing_function.m?  Are you calling it from the MathScript Window with the following syntax:
augie_image_processing_function(A)

To try to debug this more on your end, try copying and pasting your function into a MathScript node on the block diagram.  Delete the first line since function definitions are not allowed in a MathScript node.  Add an input to the node called work_im (the same input to your function) and wire a constant matrix to it.  Is the run arrow broken?  What are the errors reported in the Error List window?
