Formula Node

[Leslie E. Bauman]

A working formula node in LV 5.1 failed in LV 6 because of a negation of an
exponent.
Works in LV 5.1 and not LV 6: P=exp(-(x-a*cos(wt))**2)/sqrt(pi);
Works in LV 6: P=exp(-1*(x-a*cos(wt))**2)/sqrt(pi);
Explanation?

Leslie,

I tried both formulas in LabVIEW 6.0.1 and they produce the same
result. Can you be more specific about what version you are using?
This might have been fixed between 6.0 and 6.0.1.

[Leslie E. Bauman]

My version is 6.0.

I've also noticed similar oddities in Labview6. It's promising that the
6.0.1 update doesn't seem to suffer from this. I've been largely unaffected
by it since in my formula nodes I'm always very specific and long-winded and
try to assume nothing about operator precedence and the like, but I still
got caught out a couple of times by 6.0
