how can I multiply all values of a 4-element array with all of its inverse values resulting to an array having all 16 products?

[vjm-ndt]

I'm quite new to LabVIEW (v.8.0) and I'm trying to figure out the easiest way to have a 4-element array multiplied by its inverse values resulting in a 16-element array

Array 1 values = 1, 2, 3, 4

Array 1 inverse values = 1, 0.5, 0.33, 0.25

Resulting array = (1, 0.5, 0.33, 0.25, 2, 1, 0.66, 0.5, 3, 1.5, 1, 0.75, 4, 2, 1.32, 1)

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

You could try something like the following (the last operation is "reshape array")

You can also get a bit more fancy and replace the FOR loop with the "outer product" from the linear algebra palette.

I would like to know how all the elements in an array can be multiplied with just a single number.

I tried using the Multiply VI and connected an output array to one of its left terminals and a created a constant at the other left terminal. The right terminal has a waveform graph attached to it. So, will I be able to get the graph output as a scaled graph of the original?

Yes, if you multiply an array with a scalar, all elements will be scaled accordingly. Did you try?
