How do i create sigma notation?

[badbadtzmaru]

Hmmm....i need some help with creating simple sigma notation some thing like this the 1 in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summation, under Capital sigma notation, 2nd 1.

Thx

I KNOW HOW! But this looks like homework...Can you post what you have at least tried? A tip...you will need to use shift registers and a loop.

Whats shift registers? Sry but my knowledge of LabView is limited to the 4 mathematical signs...

To create the sigma notation in a string constant, set the font to Symbol and type upper case S.  Like this: S

Here, since this is so small i'll post it. But try yourself next time.

I think you may have misunderstood the question. My impression is that the OP is just trying to display the character that is called "sigma", not to do the actual calculation. Kind of like typing away in, say, Mathematica.

Possibly...but there it is if he needs the solution! haha.

Shift register. Loop condition terminal.

To learn more about LabVIEW it is recommended that you go through the tutorial(s) and look over the material in the NI Developer Zone's Learning Center which provides links to other materials and other tutorials. You can also take the online courses for free.

Also, please use full words - this is not Twitter. Thank you.

That is the shift register.
