You can find the Vector Blocks palette under the Data Processing submenu of the Palettes menu:

Choosing When to Evaluate

If Triggering Method is...	The block evaluates when...
trigger on any	Any of its input ports receives a new value.
trigger on all	All of its input ports receive new values.
trigger on 1	The top input port receives a new value.
trigger on 2	The bottom input port receives a new value.

The following blocks contain this attribute:

• Vectorizer

• Vector Combiner

• Vector Sum

• Vector Difference

• Vector Product

• Vector Quotient

• Vector Function of Two Arguments

When you reset a block that supports the attribute Trigger Method, NOL treats all the valid values at its input ports as newly received values. If its input values are valid, it will pass a vector the next time you evaluate it, regardless of the setting of Triggering Method.

Creating Vectors and Scalars

• The Vectorizer block combines the scalars from several data paths into one vector.

• The Windower block creates a vector out of consecutive data from one scalar path.

• The Scalarizer block creates multiple scalar data paths from one vector data path.

• The Classifier Input Converter block converts a number that represents a class to a vector that represents a class.

• The Classifier Output Converter block returns the index of the maximum element in a vector. If each element in the vector is the probability that an input belongs to a class, the maximum element is the class to which the input most likely belongs.

• The Vector Combiner block combines two vector paths into one.

• The Vector Splitter block splits one vector path into two.

• The Vector Order Swapper block reorders the elements in a vector.

Operating on Vector Elements

• The Vector Rescaler block lets you rescale each element of a vector using different factors for each element.

• The Vector Sum block adds the elements from one vector to the elements of another.

• The Vector Difference block subtracts the elements of one vector from the elements of another.

• The Vector Product block multiplies the elements of one vector by the elements of another.

• The Vector Quotient block divides the elements of one vector by the elements of another.

• The Vector Function block applies a function to each element of a vector, or collectively on its elements.

• The Vector Function of Two Arguments block applies a function to each element of two vectors, or collectively on its elements.
