Trig and inverse trig functions (sin through atan)
Trig functions are used to calculate the sine, cosine or tangent of a
term. Trig functions can be applied to any angular or numeric term or
collection of terms, and will return dimensionless values.
Inverse trig functions are used to calculate the arcsine, arccosine, or
arctangent of a term. Inverse trig functions can be applied to any
dimensionless term or collection of terms, and will return angular
values.
To insert a trig or inverse trig function:
U Press the MATH... soft key
U Press the dimension key for the trig or inverse trig function you
would like to insert
Parentheses for the term are provided. Terms can include channel
inputs, dimensions and constants.
Trig function.
Inverse trig function.
Trig function syntax
A = tan(term)
Example:
A = tan(B)
A = 1 when B = 45 degrees
Inverse Trig function syntax
C = atan(term)
Example:
C = atan(C1)
C = 45 degrees when C1 = 1
