Inputs/Outputs

  • cdbl.png x —

    x is the input argument. If x is negative, the VI uses the absolute value of x.

  • ci32.png n —

    n specifies the order of the spherical Hankel function.

  • ci32.png type —

    type specifies the type of the spherical Hankel function.

    0First Kind—Computes the spherical Hankel function of the first kind.
    1Second Kind—Computes the spherical Hankel function of the second kind.
  • icdb.png hn(x) —

    hn(x) returns the value of the spherical Hankel function.

    • The following equation defines the spherical Hankel function of the first kind of order n.

    The following equation defines the spherical Hankel function of the second kind of order n.

    where jn is a spherical Bessel function of the first kind and yn is a spherical Bessel function of the second kind.

    The following intervals for the input values of the VI define the spherical Hankel function.

    For any integer value of order n, LabVIEW supports nonnegative real values of x.
