Tangent
Type
Operator (Trigonometric)
Syntax
... TAN(r) (See below)
Units
r = radians or degrees depending on RADIAN command
Range
±17500.0000000 radians
Default

[ ATAN ], [ COS ], [ PI ], RADIAN, [ SIN ], VAR
The
operator is used to calculate the tangent of
TAN
a number given in radians or degrees (see the
command). If "
" and "
a
RADIAN

If a value is given in radians and a conversion is
needed to degrees, use the following formula:
360° = 2π radians.
Syntax:

variable number and
is a value in either radians or
r
degrees depending on the
RADIAN
Parentheses (
) must be placed around the
()
operand. The result will be specified to 5 decimal
places.
Example:
VAR1=5 * TAN(PI/4)
; Set variable 1 = 5 times the tangent of Pi divided by 4

The
command returns the voltage level present at the ANI analog inputs. The value reported with the
TANI
command is measured in volts.
TANI
If you omit the brick number, the value of the onboard analog input (
the analog value from a specific input on an external I/O brick, use the bit select operator (.). For example,
nd
to check the voltage of the 2
command. To understand more about the location of I/O points on external I/O bricks, see page

The
value is derived from the voltage applied to the corresponding analog input and ground. The
TANI
analog value is determined from a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Under the default ANI voltage
