Issue Details

I want to calculate the sum of each row or column in a 2D array.

Solution

A row or a column of a 2D array is also a 1D array. In LabVIEW you can use the Add Array Elements function from the Numeric Palette to calculate the sum of a 1D array. Use this function in a For Loop and connect the input array and also the output array with Auto-Indexed Tunnels.
 
  • If you need to calculate the sum of the rows you need to connect the array to the For Loop directly:

  • If you need to calculate the sum of the columns you need to connect the array to the For Loop through the Transpose 2D Array function:
